you guys should also play 'het krachtspel' ;D
go's like this: the champion (wich is me) accepts the challenge of a new member (who is more or less challenged by the other members). I ly on the floor face down. The challenger ly's on his back on top of me. I hold him down with my arms (see the first picture of 'het krachtspel). Then the challenger must try to turn me over (impossible by the way). The ref of the game quickly pulls his pants down and then sits on the face of the challenger. (second pic of 'het krachtspel'
game over, i win once more ;D

that would be a roof tent. I didn't buy it because the seller wants an extra 750€ for that , so i only bought the trailer itself

Hi Jan
That Howling Moon roof top tent is made in SA and probably costs at least R6500. R13.50 to the British Pound.

i added some upgrades to the trailer: a 100 liter pressure tank for pumping inflated tires. I can go from 1 bar to 2 bar 16 times on a 215/80/15 without refilling the tank. Will be very useful on our weekend trips added some stickers and other wheels and tires. I also putted a light in it.

Very good, Jan. I see you still have ample space left for a draft dispenser or two I take it you are going to use the trailer as a support base on excursions? Spikes

The proportions look unstable to me. What is it like when you are towing it, Jan? Aslo what is the axle setup on it? Could you post a photo?

Ari, it sits on its stock Niva axle, it dousn't bounce around as a normal trailer would, it's very stable. I will post pictutes later
