as I sometimes use the 3rd row seats and don't want to swap these in and out when going to or coming from a trip, I was thinking about another solution for specifically a watertank, by utilizing the space of the 3rd row footwell and under the 2nd row seats. would be a custom GRP solution I...
small but important tweak today: now I can still get to the spare wheel winch without moving the cases.
it has a 22mm hex drive like the wheel studs. used a 22mm 3/8" socket, adapter to 1/4" and a 100mm extension, that JUST fits in between the 3rd row seats.
made from 10mm plywood and self-locking slides.
frankly I need to admit that it looks like a prototype. just roughly painted, no handles etc., tie down eyes and connecting bolts for both casings are still to come.
if the first field test is a success, casings might receive an anthracite...

steinacker metall in germany. doubt they ship to ZA.
just search for such a shop around your place, you‘ve got fabulous shops like alu-cab there, what I envy a lot!
thank you. I ordered it from a metalworking company via ebay. it's 2mm aluminum (wind protection is too) and corners are welded. pretty sturdy. it's even thick enough to drive threads into the bottom for attaching the burner with M5 bolts.
folks, another quick one.
on our last trip through norway we found out, that our two-burner stove was a bit too much for just the two of us. on the other hand, the typical china or trucker one-burner stove sold with the plastic case is absolutely unsuitable, as it neither allows simmering, nor...
unfortunately I won't be able to make it, helping with the move of my father, and afterwards a birthday celebration at night. really sad 'cause joey and I already missed each other when we were heading northbound on our norway trip 2017 ..

DIY of 30mm x 3mm aluminum tubes with connectors public transport over here uses for handrails in trams and buses. all in all 10kg incl. flood lights. plus 10kg for 110W solar panel and...
