Semi standy with opening roof

[Sheddie]

Hi Johnny, that is looking really good.
Have you had much use out of it yet?
How are you finding having those jacks hanging down inside? Have you run into them at all?

That's fabulous. No wonder people want to buy it.

Hey Sheddie
The screw jacks go up and out of the way, they are not even nocticable when roof is open, but they look a bit mean in black, so I think I will paint them.
Whats your next project??

The biggest project is getting back to finishing the house. We have a few more small things to do to get code of compliance signed off and finishing ground work, drives etc. I also have a few car projects l want to get on to.
A friend wants me to build him a camping trailer. He has an Austin A30 and they go tent camping with it but there is not much room for gear in such a small car. So he wants a small trailer to cart some of the gear. We are looking at using the bum end off a couple couple of A30s.

Took her out camping for the first time and tested all the things that cannot be tested at home including power supply which has the special Out let. Also how good it was with heat retention as it was colder at this time of year in New Zealand. There was quite a bit of moisture or condensation overnight and one small leak where their roof hinge screws wasn't sealed properly apart from that good fun and light to tow

Nice. Happy smiling face on the young'un, too.

You should be very proud of your work.

Don't forget to add your build into the Hall of Fame.

Good Job! Nice videos, too!

Anyone looking for a bit of design inspiration can look at the simple but clever roof on the Wa-Wa from Belgium:



Here is the Wa-Wa page on OldieCaravan.de but, beware, visiting the OldieCaravan web site can cause you to 'go missing' for several hours.

Hi Jonny. Good to see you have got out this weekend to use it. Where did you camp, looks like a nice spot.
We have had the weekend touring the Coromandel peninsular with our car club. We are at Cooks Beach this morning about to pack up and head for home. It started raining in the early hours but we have a bit of a gap in it now as we have breakfast and pack up camp.
