Next weekend my wife and I were surfing down the East Cape when she asked me what was this thing crawling in her hair. oopssie's no more using the kombie for hunting under any circumstance's. lol
I love Troopys.. purchased this one on trademe a few years back but the owner decided he could not part with it. I was not impressed. I had big plans for its resurrection as a full on camper

Would have been good 'twoshot'. We saw ours and decided we must have it. Got the measurements from the sellers. 'Vehicle To long' No problem extend Garage.Quote:

Buy vehicle then find seller has given us wrong height measurement and it wont fit in the Garage. Really pissed now, so hack two bloody great wheel tracks through the concrete floor and re-concrete them. Calculations not the best and I find the roof of camper van still gently touches roller door. So then I think when I buy new tyres for it might have to dig the concrete up again.
Now too demoralized to think about that. Cant afford to buy food and am surviving on last years venison and fish.
How much work involved in lifting the door? Shouldn't take much that a saw couldn't whittle down, or is it also touching the rafters?
Door up as high as it will go GA. Not a mill of adjustment to be gained anywhere. As it was I had to get another section of door made to fill the gap as the floor sloped down.Quote:

Might have to do that when I put new tires on her. What a pain having to pump them up. I have got used to using her as a second vehicle.Quote:
