Re: Demountable Camper

Re: Demountable Camper

Hi, It looks like this subject has been dormant for a spell, but as I've only just arrived here, I'm attaching a couple of pics (somebody else's) of a Romahome Demountable pod on a D110. It looks "right". There are usually a few Romahomes on Ebay. Avoid the coach built versions, unless ver...

New concertina.

Hi,

My roof was once fitted with a vertical action pop-top - make unknown. The concertina fabric has long gone, and the GRP top is going to need re-inforcing ... a couple of layers of "mat" should sort that.

Hi again,

Reading further into the article, I found ....
