Hi Doc Gollum

You know my thoughts! But frame front is not so bad. This year it will be good enough for Tuev. But I am thinking about removing engine and front subframe in spring / summer 2018. I know all the critical areas and I know how to handle them.

Thanks Sir Tigger! I always do my very best.

Made a short trip to France (Colmar) with my new born Caravan. Runs great.

Drove my Caravan through the dusty pampa to the banks of the river Elz. We had a nice picnic in the Rhine area wilderness.



31°C, but plenty of fresh water there.

Hi ronnyd

Of course we tested the water - great. But a proud swan blocked the waterline later. He stayed hours near our place and we did not want to disturb him.

Fitted the GROM audio kit - made a bit of a mess of the front of the car.



However, once cleaned up it all works perfectly  :y. Bluetooth calls and music, plus a ISB and aux jack in the glove box. Nice when you feel like you're getting what you paid for, especially as it wasn't cheap. I can't fault the service or quality though and if anyone's in the market for something similar I can highly recommend them. (No omega kit though  :().
