The one we had as kids (so 50s 60s) I used to take my ex around Scotland when we first met. It stayed in my dad's garage until he died ('98) when we gave it to the local scout group who were amazingly grateful. Bukta. Brilliant! Best of luck in...

Me too, as did Nole Edmonds. Git lived near us too. 🤣

Early motorhome............

Must be baby squirrel season. Little one on me garage watchin me frew the window. Eye ignored it finkin it be ok where eye was int kitchen. Burrit din't come down ferra nut so musta bin put oft.

I quickly ruled out a roof tent. I want something I can stand up in, not fall out of. And they don't come with a stair lift :rolleyes:

Ive had almost every set up, roof tents awnings every extra I could find, expedition trailers all sold but I will set up another rig at some point. Tent wise id probably go for a canvas bell tent. One centre pole & the a frame poles some come...

Yer dont forget your coat on the way out... 🤣 🤣

I've finished looking into Landy-attached awnings and decided not to follow it up. Now looking for a suitable frame tent, 4-man type. I have my eye on a certain type made by Cabanon. Had one in the 90's when we took the sprogs camping and know...

Not gonna watch it. It grated on me too much "at the time".

🤣 🤣 🤣 Sorry about this, it ain't tremendously funny, but then Mr B never was!

Ifn I'd been there, you'd a bin throwing it in the back of my trailer!!!!!🤣🤣 I am still using a load of stuff I got when a mate was selling his house and it still had stuff in the garage from when he bought it. He was not a DIYer or mechanic at...

Storage is an issue, especially if you hardly ever use it. Mate of mine paid to store his and it got nicked from there, so that would be a worry too, quite apart from the expense. So yep, awning it is!!:):)

Should have been too drunk to be able to drive. And WTF happened to the barbies??

Something I never thought of before. On Wednesday when me n mates met up at our rally, they had set up their camper vans and me my little tent. So who got volunteered to go for the take-away curries because his Landy was still mobile? ------

I think a stand alone tent is a better idea too. What if you want to go somewhere and need the car, you'd need tp pack everything up first ... Those Canabon tents look good ....

Thanks for the info guys. Now that I have looked into this a bit more, I have put this on the back burner. A normal frame tent will better suit my needs, looking at Cabanon brand which I have had previously (shouldn't have given it to my brother...

ARB kit is good but expensive. I’ve been looking at an awning from 4x4 direct which is cheaper.

Stick a patch of inner tube over it ?

Damp n dark out doors need to go shopping at some point, got my indicators to re-wire on the disco then mot time. Need to make a foam/rubber insert for where the wiring loom goes through the bulkhead as its letting water in. Or plaster it with...

Yes, I said it was Lusty of London "Lloy Loom", but as an ignoramus I did not know then what "Lloyd Loom" actually was. :)

Morning All. :D Still 'ere. :) There is a local classic car meet over on Canvey. But TBH I CBA. :( Steak (Rib-Eye) for dinner tonight so I hope the rain stays away as I will be on BBQ duty. :) Have a great day. :D

Beware of the blob haha
