Or my miss's mum! My missus wants me to have Ruby Scoo back on the road so I'm not in the shed all the time. Got another beast to work on before I can sort our R Scoo. Then there's work to be done on the brumby...

It never ends!

Cheers

Revmax top effort, but I've got to ask, isn't that draw bar a bit long?? It could just be the photo... or me!

Cheers

Isn't there formulas used by registration authorities for the length of the trailer, the postioning of the wheels and the length of the drawbar ??

Going great, I've been told that heating the rods gives you a much better weld, not sure if it's true or not???

Cool, So where are you gonna mount the spare wheel? Or what are you gonna do to use the front space, basket, tank, etc etc?

Cool. While your at it make a special rear bumper with a step for climbing in the tray:)
What else extra could you add??

Use the fuel filler for filling an under floor water tank where the fuel tank once was?

Nice. And use a little pump that gets power from the trailer lights to pump the water out to the tap:)
