Hi, Just bought a 2004 Rapido A class and am planning our first trip, so have a ton of questions.
First one (and i'll post it elsewhere)
Dog cage; I have a steel dog cage for our large Husky, however it weighs about 80 tons and is about the size of a football pitch even though it folds. I'm looking for an aluminium cage that folds down to large suitcase without dissasembling our large dog. My search is ongoing...to the point that I may make my own.
Hose pipe; need to get one but don't want one of the lay flat types and also don't want a standard garden hose. May have to settle for one of those, but does anyone else know of a great idea? Maybe a smaller diameter hose in a box that you don't have to completely unroll but is still long enough. i mean, you don't really need the diameter they are for a garden to fill your water up.
Battery; I'm looking for a new battery, the one that came is not that new. I'm thinking more than 110amp, I have fitted 280w of solar panels and would like a decent battery to fit in the hole I have, (400x230mm), I have contemplated fitting a second one but for now I will settle for a good single battery.
Awning; the awning I have only has a top (sorry for my technical terms.), it does have these small diameters on the sides and I wondered if I can fit sides to this, does anyone know? I've attached a pic of what I have.
Max load (in french); I have a tag under the bonnet that tells me PTAC; 3500kg, PTRA; 5000kg, I assume this means 3500kg max load (total...everthing including two people?) Just not too sure of that. The 5000kg must be max load including towing?
then it has...
Poids maxi essieu avant 1750kg (that must be front axle max)
Poids maxi essieu Arriere 2240kg (that must be the rr axle max)
those add up to the total (almost).
If anyone can help me with this it'll help. I'll be taking it to a weighbridge next week to check out what it weighs. I'm sure I read a max of 3850kg somewhere in the books but this tag worries me a bit, and it's what you would get done by if pulled.
Anyway, a few questions for now if anyone can help. Meanwhile I'll search more and post more on the forums to find the answers.
Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas.
