Used it Last night – in seating and eating guise it’s bob on. Spent about 3 hours sat round the table making stuff when it was pissing it down. Cooking was a breeze with the pull out drawer.

Sleeping was fine as long as you are not taller than me (188cm) on the decathlon 120cm wide airbed, getting changed was a bit tight with a 4 year old with no spacial awareness, it would be easier with some outside space to get changed (away from eyes). Need a few tweeks and some more “clever thinking” on what needs to be where in each box, maybe some segregation of the bigger box at the back.

In retrospect i would have done “bed time” before i pumped the airbed up or just used roll mats to save time/space.

Another trip soon so will keep you posted. Well worth the money though on solo or solo plus small kid weekends due to being able to kip anywhere and not have to pitch a tent

honourablegeorge – how much

Cheers shedbrewed

seats come out

he’s a happy camper

why would i be shifting it – i would be wearing it or it would be in a box. If dirty then it would be in the space under the bed or in the front foot wells. When it is set up properly at the weekend (going actual camping) then i will take some more pictures to show it in use.

Regarding shifting them around they are quite light tbh. Also they ALL fit in the boot with the seats up. The base is cut in half and hinged, the table folds in half also.

if you are interested then email me robjackson@hotmail.co.uk

that was only for sitting on drinking – in the pic with Ian sitting in the car there is another 5″ above his head

my zee shifter feels WAAAY nicer than my xt

From a helpful STW-er

I bought a set of new top hooks and managed to fit it on
It was a fitting kit from a Mont Blanc Easygrip rack
Apologies for the rubbish photos but rack is currently dumped at a back of a pile of camping gear in corner of the garage!

(Mont Blanc manufacture Halfords racks so you may be able to find similar in Halfords if you want to see the bracket before committing)

Have had a google round for you as I remember last time it was hard to find information on the 4 different sizes they do and Mont Blanc where not very helpful themselves just referred me to the fitting lists of compatible cars on their site which is really out of date and next to useless –

Part numbers and dimensions are –

691261 – Mont Blanc Easygrip fitting kit K1 = 33cm long
691262 – K2 = 40.6cm
691263 – K3 = 67cm
691264 – K4 = 103cm

They are a lot thinner than the Thule straps so can be bent to fit around your roofline a bit easier, suggest you offer up rack, see how far from each of the hook mounting holes at the top of the rack to the boot lip and order the kit that fits best, you have 3 holes on the rack body to choose from and also have quite a bit of adjustment by the screws on the lower fittings anyway so with one of the combinations you should be able to get the rack to sit on the rear window and avoid wipers etc
Think I needed the K3 kit for my Hyundai i30, using the top most hole
I wasn’t sure at first as it’s a bit of a botch, the Thule mounting bolts are a bit too long (milimetres) for the thinner bracket where they attach to the rack frame but they held solid for 5 years including some fairly long motorway trips to Scotland (and I didn’t hang around, was doing 80ish on motorways with rack on)

Here at Amazon gives you dimensions – http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mont-Blanc-K4-Easygrip-Fitting/sim/B001B740UM/2/ref=pd_cp_auto_sexpl
But once you know which kit you need you can pick them up from various car part shops on ebay a lot cheaper than that, think I paid about £8-9 5 years ago
Decent pic here – https://www.greyville.com/products/1954-mb61-mont-blanc-reartrek-fitting-kit-kit-1
And they look to be cheapest here – http://www.skidrive.co.uk/cycle/product_detail.php?partno=691262 but Ive no personal experience of that shop, looks ok though

Technician at work is onto it :)

currently the part 34225 is fitted to the top/last hole and is 33cm to short so 50167 will still be 10cm or so too short :(

I currently have the part labelled 34225 which is 31.4cm, i need it to be 64 cm!!

Could i cut the one i have and add in the extra material required – drill and bolt the extra piece in, what material would be best? steel/alu?

Any ideas??

Hora bearing in mind i am 6ft 1 and 78kg – i wear 34 jeans and large tshirts, are you sure? I suppose tshirts have a large amount of streeeeetch as do the sweat pants you wear, do you have elastic in the waist of your jeans?

whip the lowers off, spring out and see

how is it flouting the ban – walking is walking whether you have a bike, walking frame, pair of walking sticks what ever
