That should do for now, hahhaha. I got out of the UK, but there are still a few bits I was too impatient to wait for. So the car is about 95% at the moment. I will have some things posted to me and I still need to sort out everything inside, it's a disaster at the moment as I just threw everything into the back on the mattress to catch a ferry from Dover!!

do yourself a favour and fit some slats under the mattress so it dont get damp,you need air under it....

Thanks for the tip, I need to give it some thought because the mattress is quite soft and I think it would just absorb slats. Maybe I'll have to cut some ventilation into the platform..

Fantastic stuff yeh lucky bastid :D

I would like to have access through the Dog guard for putting/getting stuff and even better if you could get through it your self so you can drive off in the middle of the night if attacked by the enemy.

Best of luck have a good trip and keep us posted.

Cheers Jason
