wasn't too stressed today,
made a start on the vents for my box
hardest part was finding the Alli Flyscreen (I know its SOMEWHERE here) and trimming it to size

finally settled on
vent
alli flyscreen silastic to vent
double sided tape around hole in box
vent then pop riveted to it........

Im happy (and thats all that matters)

have to get another one the same size as used, for the other side, the small one I have, I will put underneath

you would think, that with the amount of crap I have laying around my place
I would have some steel that I can use for a spare wheel carrier - similar to yours @dagree

got all sorts, but none that will do what I want

in the pic of the box, in the long grass, you can make out part of my shed, a roll of cable, some bits of 40x20x1.5 RHS, some bits of Alli etc
but nothing I can use for my carrier.......

lol,lol, hey @bigcol sounds like my place, I had to spray some spots with roundup to see what I had, which meant a massive cleanup, found what I needed and place looks very nice now. I'm trying to keep it that way, it's hard.

You bed end flys look fine to me!
Do need to make sure that they wrap around the top corner so water does not dribble past the hinge and end up inside behind the fly.

nice job bigcol question would it be better to let the wheel go all the way to ground when its lying down bye cutting the piece the wheel is bolted too a bit shorter ??????? just to take the stress out of it if camped for many days ????? dose dagree have drawing of this design mmmm I need one I need the same system don't have steel or strong enough welder will have to get someone else to do it for me so if I could get some kind of drawing to show them that would be fantastic wheres ur number plate going do u need a light for it
