Re: Tail gate lift

I've used SGS, and they are quick to turn the work around, and a lot cheaper than new. One thing I noticed, though, was that I could probably have just had one side uprated. With a stainless steel ladder, and two uprated struts, it flies up maybe a bit too quick.... :shock: SD I agree how quick the...

Re: How to clean the tent section

Aye, Oil of Cloves is the thing you need.

This is taken from another thread " Half a tea spoon in 1 litre of water, spray on and leave 20 mins, wipe clean then respray"

The Dettol might stink a bit.

Re: First real outing

Went very well and actually the weather was fairly kind with Saturday fine and Sunday a bit changable. Didn't get a sun tan more weather beaten :lol: Great wee campsite right on the beach and cheap as chips at £15 for an electric hook up pitch. I was brought up in Portsoy as a young child so always ...

Tail gate lift

Question is though, with the bikes off the rack the tail gate wont stay up on it's own, do I need new gas struts? :?: it was fine before...

Cheers, Charlie
