cheshire thats a long way to tow a van thats falling to bits,

Roadkill · January 23, 2006, 04:56:26 PM

Hmm, sceptical as well.

EDGE · January 23, 2006, 06:40:05 PM

two factors on a 20 yr old van, dry rotted tyres, and siezed brakes..

both not worth dealing with if you have a 200 mile tow.

philoldsmobile · January 23, 2006, 10:36:19 PM

naaah, we should use this.....

You got £10k tucked away, then, Phil ?

philoldsmobile · January 25, 2006, 08:28:23 PM

Jamieg285 · February 04, 2006, 09:29:15 PM

How big's the tank? Don't want something too big.

I am sure one of those will be fine, but depends on the tank + any other things that might go on it.

Price going up rapidly

philoldsmobile · February 05, 2006, 02:08:25 PM

tank is about 5 feet long, and will be mounted across the chassis rather than along as origionaly envisioned.....

Yup only got 6 weeks to the first bling

Roadkill · February 06, 2006, 01:05:07 PM

I'll need a cutting list for quoting . . . .

Box section (I'd say) is preferrable . . . Straight cut (as opposed to mitre-cut) ends is best, but not 100% essential.

I'd typically go for the lightest section (eg. 3.2mm wall) but would go for whatever works out easiest for my supplier . . . . assuming he's O.K to do it.

It must be a complete list when it is done because I don't want any additions at the end.

FUBAR · February 06, 2006, 01:08:29 PM

Given the fact that quite a few of us are going to be spending whole weekends at the barn building this thing in coming weeks could we dig out some of the MKB amenities like the Kettle & BBQ to provide a bit of food & hot drinks.
I have the BBQ at my house, dunno where the "white" goods went though.

Roadkill · February 06, 2006, 01:12:37 PM

Are we gonna use the BBQ trailer to store the above said items in future ???

Or at least some of . . . . ?

Yes mate, thats the idea. The tent and all of the MKB stuff in one place rapid deployment style

Cool, just don't store the tent in the Locker in the BBQ Tank Stand, might be a bit warm...
