Re: Family 4 Advice

I have the same issue, a telescopic pole with a c-clip at both ends was the cure. Oddly, when I googled that to post a link for you I'm just getting Australian websites, anyway, try a camping shop or somewhere that sells awnings.

This is the sort of thing, used in between the two hoops:

Re: caravan chassis

More than a bit late, but if anyone else is looking, that trailer had no brakes so you would not be able to tow anything over 750kg with it, that weight includes the trailer itself, so a 570 on that would be a no-no.

Phones know which way is up from when you took the photo that's why, you can rotate them in a editing package on your PC (eg paint.net is a free one) or ...

Re: location for batteries and fuel tank

I get quite a bit of porpoising above 27 knots, so I'm planning on moving my two batteries into the cabin, but I think I'll leave the petrol tanks at the back still, not keen on them being in an enclosed area!

Re: custom canopy diy

No, but I have thought about it! After all, all you need is a supplier of the fittings to make up the bar, and then a supplier of waterproof material, and here we are:
