Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Hope you have a great holiday Dave and Terrie. If you stumble across any Covill surnames over there, please try to get a contact address from them, I have lost all my contact information in the house fire.

My father's side was from Kent, if that makes any difference.
Lots of photos please :D

Been a rumour one of them started the 1066 fires that burnt London.

Good morning.
Dave won't have time for a holiday if he has to look for lost rellies 😇😇.
Finally the wheel carrier is on the motorhome... and it's alot tighter than before... and was a @#$&# of a job, even Carol was swearing 😁😁... but it's on... maybe even get the spare wheel on today... maybe...
We have had light rain ☔ since late yesterday arvo...
Obviously the hedge didn't get a look in 😇😇
And probably won't today... because of the rain ☔
My back and legs don't want to work properly this morning... don't know why 😁😇..
Keep safe everyone.
Bernie.
I removed the middle post as suggested by the engineer.

Morning all.

Bernie, just remember to keep an eye of the chassis behind where the brackets finish. If there are an problems, that's where they'll manifest if they do.

There's no flex in the new brackets Jon... that was most of the problem with the thinner brackets...
We had 13mm in the gauge overnight.

Yes Bernie,

That's what I'm alluding to. The flex/force may now be transferred down into the chassis rails past the bracket.

That's why all the cranes etc, have those tapered reinforcing brackets on them. The bracket allow flexing with out a hard stop.

It's sitting in a channel which in turn bolted to the chassis
Which has cross bracing for all the thingys that hold the radiator in.
it's been on the motorhome since it was converted from a bus in the early 90ts I don't think I'll still own it if it gets to those numbers again...😁🤔
It's virtually the same as the towbar on the back of the motorhome.

Good morning everyone. Its 5.45 am at Dubai International Airport and it's already 31⁰c outside. It is super busy here already. Loved travelling on the A380 even if we were up the back, in cattle class. Haven't had a lot of sleep since this time yesty. Hopefully our next flight won't be chock a block.
Safe travels everybody.
Cheers
David
