Thanks, Dave.
I was in doubt of what to install untill I found these in blanc alu:

I didn't want something large and I found these to fit perfectly with the alu skin :)

I had to buy them via a local dealer since they don't sell to private people in DK.

We are not completely set for a date yet but sometime in July. We'll most likely drive on the E4 all the way up in Sweden untill we reach Norway.
It would be great if we can meet somewhere up there :thumbsup:

I must admit that it's build to last. Walls are of 0.78 inch Birch plyw., 1.96 inch insulation, 0.039 inch alu sheet and inside 0.15 inch birch plyw.

I love winter, cold and freezing weather but I hate to freeze myself so no matter the weather I can allways stay warm and dry in my TD ;)

What type of axle did you use on your tear?

I was lucky to get an old Hobbie 565 camper from the '70's that had seen better days, for free.
I ripped the whole thing apart so only the frame an axel was left. I refurbished the frame, cut of a bit, and then paiting it with a zink/galv paint to make it durable against water and moist. The axel is strong. It can handle up to 1.2 ton so my TD has a solid base to rest on ;)
I also saved the fridge so I could use it in the TD....these things cost a fortune buying new!!
