Simon reminded me about that, could have had that ladder
forgot SWMBO is not working today, so my master plan may be thwarted......... (She thinks I‘m mad and suggested it would be daft to cut a hole in it)
May have to delay until Friday now Iggy/Ieuan

Right, well been a bit busy with my jigsaw
May not be to everybody's liking and it's a bit "Rough and ready", but I quite like it

Works perfectly Hole is 60cm x 60cm and I can fit in quite easily Ladder rests on side of trailer, so you can close it all up when in....also stood on the hatch and it's solid
Need to smooth off the edges (perhaps add some edging) and add a handle to lock it in place when I fold the tent back up
Will be testing it for real in a couple of weeks, while camping in Wales Iggy/Ieuan

Been a while since I did anything tot he trailer, but wanted some spots, ones that I could move about and set-up once at a camp site.
Some cable and some heavy duty metal clips/pegs and once all assembled, they look like this once plugged into my Trailer 12v system:

So I have two that can be fitted once the trailer is fully set-up at a site:

I also fitted one to the back of the Disco (using the 2nd battery)

One left now - may keep it in the back of the disco as a light that can be moved about Iggy/Ieuan

The suspension is already raised a little, does this still look ok, can you see any issues?

Still fits in the garage as well Iggy/Ieuan
