Hey Mikey can i bring my camper to Mikeys house of trailer restorations to get a long draw bar fitted :lol:

Mate, why the long drawbar, is it to fit more stuff on, or cause you can't open the door?

Yeah Mikey, this stuff looks alright to me. I would just need to set up some sort of mounting brackets for them....But could not only work well but look awesome with LOST on them hey :!:

.............I like it

Something like this would work for printing, though I think I'd prefer black to white. :roll:

These are good as they are already cut to size with fixing slots. Prefer black though. What size are they :?:

A couple of LOST stickers on those and your done, the vinyl stickers will probably last as long as the printed version anyway, and you can always put on a new sticker if they get crappy. Will they stick long term is the question.

Not sure mate, but they would have to be around 10-12 inches wide.

My Sand / Reversing flag came in the mail yesterday, so this morning, on it went.
Breaks down into two sections.
Makes backing up so much easier, I was trying do reverse it down the driveway at work the other day, and because it angles down, the whole thing disappeared out of sight.

Love your beige workshop Mikey, but wouldn't it be more useful with a bench, some shelves, and a window or two? Plenty of space though.

Long drawbars make reversing much easier, as it doesn't react as quick; not mention all that valuable space that you get for gas bottles, jerrys, tool boxes, etc.

The ADR 43/30 seems to cover drawbar limitations.

‘Drawbar Length’ must not exceed 5 metres.

It's one of the studios at work, it's actually white, and when it's all lit up, and you walk towards the corner you get complete whiteout and disorientation.
Makes moving cars around in there a 2 man job!!! :lol:

I was wondering if he removed all the wall padding prior to taking the pic.

Hey Mikey,
Dare I suggest this as a worthy addition:

Look here for the details:
