Don’t see anything wrong with that, just don’t want to sleep in the top of side bunk.

I'm not showing this to my hubby ... he still has nightmares about the time he tried to play 'roly-poly' with our then Chausson MH.

He was turning it round in a narrow campsite road (campsite was closed) and in doing so ignored my signals and shouting to stop and kept reversing taking the rear offside wheel off the roadway so it was dangling above the verge and lifting the nearside front wheel! By this point I was screaming at him to stop and smacked the rear of the MH hard to get his attention.

I had to run to the side and quickly stand in the open passenger door leaning out to keep it from tipping over! He climbed out passed me to take his weight off the offside and we removed the dogs too. Fortunately we were rescued by a couple of lovely French workmen who he managed to find a short walk away who pulled us back to safety ... he was a nervous wreck for a good while and flinched every time he went down a narrow road in case he had to turn round again!

I now pay much more attention to narrow road signs, weight and height warning signs and over hanging branches. Not something i was overly worried about when driving the car but now most journeys at some point will include 'narrow road anxiety'

This is actually quite scary ! You have been through some adventures over the years and I always enjoy reading about your travels . I’ve tried to get away every weekend with the kids this year since we’ve been allowed and although I can’t say we’ve had any experiences like yours yet ,we have had a few near misses and close calls .

His little leveling ramps aren't going to be much help eh.

 

[Silver-Fox]

whoops.

That was my thoughts.

Around 90kg against 3500kg I wonder which would win

I have been stuck in soft ground twice, once at the Chester rally where everybody else got stuck as well and on Weymouth rugby ground on a ths, I hadn't had the van long then but was surprised by how vulnerable it was to soft ground.
