Wil nou nie voorgee wat om te doen nie maar dalk n voorstel... Lug die gat agter met 45grade... as jy op rowwe grond gaan ry gaan die agterkant grond vat en jou wiele gaan in die lug staan, kyk bietjie na ander 4x4 trailers en caravans, hulle is almal tenminste so 400mm in en 45grade op agter.

I don't think so :think:

But the roofrack is on, I'm just waiting on Frontrunner to get their stock on the RTT and awnings, so I might just go without the trailer.

Wayne, With the way you are doing the build, you are at least assured that you will not have a wood rot problem. That is the route that I would like to go, but lack the expertise...

Exactly! I burned my fingers with that flippen Oryx, so I don't think I will ever buy a wood caravan!

This weekend is going to be very cold so don't expect much work to be done :naah:

But I just bought the geyser and will order the 12v water pump now, then just have to get the water tank :thumbup: would like to at least get the kitchen done.

Ek het teminste so paar dinge gedoen die naweek. Ek het die Dewhot geyser gekry met water tank en 12v pomp. Ek het ook 'n klomp latches en so aan van MCNaughtans ontvang.

Ek het nou die kombuis amper klaar. moet nog net vasmaak en al die water en gas pype in sit. Ek het ook die slide vir die yskas klaar gemaak. Ek moet net so bitjie speakerbox materiaal kry om oor te trek. :thumbup:

Ek sal nou binnekort die pics laai

So ek het teminste so paar dinge gedoen gekry, die kombuis is nou klaar en vas gemaak in plek, die battery bokse is ook nou in plek, ek het brackets gemaak vir die water tank maar het toe nie die regte bolts&nuts om vas te maak nie.

So ek kom nou amper op 'n punt waar ek die wa kan gebruik, volgende is die geyser in sit met al die pype, daan die gas en pype. Daan is dit die krag.

Na dit is als gedoen, ek moet net my tent koop en die sak vir die awning kry :thumbup:

Die naweek is hier :yahoo: , al is dit 'n koue een :(


Ek het nou 2mm cabel gekry vir die plugs en al die 12v bedrading binne, ek het ook 1mm vir die LED ligte. EK het die National Luna LED met geel lens op by BushPower gekry :thumbup:

Ek hoop om die bedrading en plumbing klaar te maak die naweek. Daan moet ek nog 2 x 102Ahr deep cycles opspoor. EK koop gewoonlik by National Battery maar hulle het nie voorraad nie.

New update ;-)

Plumbing is done! I have to tidy up and maybe reroute the drain pipe, it does not drain fast enough but the trailer was not level. So I will leave it as is for now and re think after a couple of field tests.

The pipes and fittings (not the mixer) cost R1300 :?

I forgot to go buy a regulator for the geyser so could not test the hot water, but the geyser is in. You will see I have a hot water tap at the back. That is to be used with an outdoor shower if all goes to plan.

So next job is to clear out all the beer cans and tools and do all the wiring. :thumbup:
