Interesting they are going back to this.I have the sme and would like a hard lid . But I see the price is what they may be trying to achieve here.

I cannot find these on any website so wonder if it is just being tested at the show?

in case of Zombie attack :)

Here some blurb I wonder how many they will sell. Although seems a lot of small offroad vans around the show.
We liked it was really a tough beast and they had a flimsy Faimina awning.

Doesnt mention anywhere that an average height hu-man cant actually stand up in the thing at around 5ft 6in internal height .... which just seems incredibly and ridiculously stupid; unless of course its design for camping in underground car parks, which in that case is a brilliant idea o_O

I'm standing there staring at it, and the missus says "why do you keep looking at it?". I had no answer...I just didn't get the idea of it. Totally confused.
The comments around me seemed to be the same.
Best ones were "why'd they nick a set of spare parts drawers from an electrician to put in it" and "strike, thats an expensive bed"

Another example of "just because you can, doesnt mean you should"

Looks like a mine spec mobile site shed minus the flashing beacon light and yellow wheel nut indicators

Im very interested in those wheel nut indicators after loosing a wheel :oops: .... (although it cant be confirmed it wasnt stolen whilst we were driving)

My current plan is to cut up $5 worth of conduit or something similar and maybe not such a bright color.
