Slightly different tip..... I notice you have a portaloo fitted in. We took one on a recent trip to the Alps. Great idea for wild camping, makes life much more pleasant, BUT, be very careful! As you climb the Alp the pressure drops, and the seal cannot prevent air from making its way out of the toilet. Not in itself a worry. It however has a seal configuration which when the pressure rises again, gets pressed more forcefully against the sealing face. That means it is perfectly capable of holding the lower pressure that your climb to altitude gave it even when you drop down again to the bottom of the Alp. The result is that the outside pressure crushes the toilet. We were lucky, ours was flexible enough to not crack and fail. On your way back down the Alp.... Whichever Alp you pick!!! Press the vent button to let air back into it occasionally. Or you may end up with a cracked toilet and an unpleasant experience! Just my tuppence

October issue of LRM arrived in the mailbox yesterday... Spotted a nice picture in there.  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw

I'll have to buy it then during the trip we noticed some changes were needed on the switches: Now the interiour lights and waterpump can be controlled from the back. The worklight is controlable from front and back Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge[/quote] 28/02 - Loss of a good friend... In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
