Looks to be in very good nick hiline!

I looked at a couple of pop-tops but they were waaaay above my budget! I think your stove thingy is the same as mine, looks identical, and the annexe is the same colors too! I hven't checked my poles yet :roll:

I reckon with care, and if speeds are kept down it's not difficult to take 'on road' models off the beaten track, just need to watch the front and rear overhangs!

Do you know what the tare weight of your camper is?

How long does it take to set up the annexe?

tare 750kg's

i'd say around 10min for the annexe

30 minutes for the whole van, thats all things un-packed and ready to go style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

Excellent....we haven't tried ours out yet.....waiting for payday to afford some extra petrol :evil:

I haven't had the annexe on yet, suppose I should give it a dry run in the front yard! What do you use for a power source in the bush?

Do use a standard ball coupling or one of those nifty offroad ones?

Ray, is it a sunwagon ? Did you get it locally, there was one like that for sale 1 street away from me. Mine is similar but a lift up and when folded is lower than the lower section of yours - a bit smaller too.
I want to do a spring over and fit larger wheels than the 10" or whatever it has on now.
