I've never dared run the batteries right down...I always have the urge to start the engine for a bit! The generator should give us peace of mind. I came home this weekend so started the install, new bumper built with new lights. I'm going to attach it to the step for now, but ultimately to the chassis. I saw the generator for the first time this weekend...and it is MASSIVE! Damn me and my impulse purchases! Oh well, i'll have to make it work. Means building new bumper etc out of 5mm wall box, so its all pretty heavy.
Great news on the Diff lock. Your still keeping me guessing on approximate costs for this, but i'm thinking its a lot! I've been looking into winches recently...there is an eBay special priced at £370, 17000lb so with a snatch block plenty for a vario, 24v. Also has remote control for safe operation. I think its a bargain, and worth a punt for that price. I was considering making a receiver to fit the front tow pin point, and one on the new rear bumper. Removable winch stored in garage. It would be pretty heavy, but maybe with a nylon rope it would be manageable. I like the idea of being able to use it at either end....less noticeable too, stealth is the way forward!
Unfortunately not in Romania in camper, extended work visit for 3 months. Back in two weeks though, can't wait.
We're moving to Singapore for a couple of years in Oct, my start date is the 8th, so not going to be able to make the show, gutted! Not sure how i'm going to cope over there with not workshop and no camper!
