Okay is it going to be a Granny Flat or a summer sleep over house?
Looks too good a van to be a shed I am guessing plumbed in water & mains with possibly a sewer pipe as well ? Cheaper than moving house for an extra bedroom with ensuite. |

Do not know about caravans especially twin axle but if it is anything like a car trailer then could be around 3 tonnes, Rick

It was going to be semi permanent accommodation for a guy and his Mrs with a couple of kids, but about 6 months after we sited the van they split up, so it is no longer there, Rick

Rick I can hardly remember last year let alone 6 years back
![]() No idea what I was on that night, but yes you're right, three turning points needed. Worst case you could use d shackle but high resistance ofcourse. I have a rear winch which is about the same cost as three good snatch blocks ![]() Good work again Rick ![]() |
