Jono, I would never have thought it of you, such an upstanding and honorable member of this community and to splash JWs cabin design after all that was said on the splashing thread. Just wait till JF sees it

Are you aware that there are box bodied versions available, complete with lathes and pillar drills ? (probably have to explain those to all the student engineers on here now )

The original design:

Yeah.. but those box bodies are not "torsion free" mounted..like what my design is...

.... and my structure is nowhere near as robust as JW's....

Yer right, Streako'....I was actually looking at one down in Southampton the other day... Sadly neglected old caravan... looked like a bit of a "do-er upper" to me.. but sadly the owner apparently has delusions of restoring her to her former glory... rather him than me....
