I'm not convinced that 4WS counter steering would be stable on the road. The
plan for a RWS one is for a 6-wheeler, built on a 100/140 wheelbase, or
possibly a 90/130. The middle axle will be non-steering.

all I need is to win the lottery and I'll build the lot of 'em.

actually, what I fancy is one that's ambulance height and standard width. a
GS would be fine as a platform to build it on. What I haven't got is the
money.

I've offered Di a new kitchen, stainless steel kit, the lot. When she found
that it would be hidden inside a 101 camper conversion she wasn't quite so
keen.

Damn and blast! We went from tent camping to a caravan a couple of years
back. If I had only held out for a while longer I could have used that!
Now I have no leverage at all.
