Hello all
I am a motorhomer with a Burstner Nexxo 660 (fixed bed). One of the problems I have come across is fitting poles (such as my cosy corner) in the garage. It always seems to be in the way. I have seen solutions where people have taken a soil pipe and socket, Cut it, and solvented a socket on the other end. THERE MUST be a better solution......
So I have been busy in my garage, and I think I have a more pleasing solution.
The product is a 6 Inch Dia pipe that is finished in Carbon fibre effect. It has 1 fixed end cap and 1 locking end cap and is designed to be mounted on a 600mm centers Fiamma Bike rack without impeding its normal use. Any other makes sizes please suggest
I need feedback from any of you on the new product, so I am looking to make a run of 5 of these - If I can sort out the tooling!!
What I was anticipating was, I will provide these at cost price (anticipate about £45) for anybody to test and feedback on practicality, looks, usability, suggested price, improvements etc etc.
Initially all I am asking is if you are interested, no commitment, I anticipate to complete these in January (unfortunatly I am not retired!!)
Length suggestions also welcome at this stage - you may have fishing rods etc of a size, or awning poles - whatever!!!
Just for info my avatar is a tool I made for squaring the ends and rebating the pipe for a seal.
I am an engineer, that likes projects and have lots of tools in my garage (workshop - it has never seen a car). So any other ideas people have - suggest away...
I did think of something that would lower my telly to a decent height
also a garage trolley that you can roll out for ease of access.
Sorry for boring anybody
