    iPhone Armor!

    I highly recommend the Oakley Iphone V2 case fits my 3GS perfectly, dropped mine numerous times and not a single problem! http://www.oakley.com/catalog/products/iphone-case-v-2 Can still be found on ebay and some online stores Case makes it quite big but it sure is grippy, even with wet hands.

    Sand Ladders???

    Yep, I have waffle boards on my van, mainly because they provide more uses than a Alu Sand Ladder (light bridging / great for mud etc) . Mine were about £40, one side smooth, one side is gritty. After a few years use they have started to break up at the corners, one of the first things we did...

    My Westfalia Syncro!

    Nice work! I did the exact same to mine, had to swap the petrol tank out for a diesel tank when we did the TDi conversion.

    serious maggiolina adaption - thoughts wanted

    Reimo make a sell a standard range of popup roofs which are design for aftermarket fitment - would one of these be better rather than chopping up a Maggolina? One like this: I can't find any pics of it popped, goes straight up vertical with canvas walls... On their website here...
