Exactly that, we bought our Maggiolina RTT off a forum member on here & sold it losing £200.00 in a couple of years! Divide that per night & it’s pennies!

That looks brilliant. Can I ask what the thing is hanging off of the right hand side above the second row door? Also, what have you done with the heater intake? It looks like you've got one of those GMB wing top lock boxes in its' place? Darren

Looking good !!
glad you made it out before the lockdown !
We have been making the use of ours by visiting isolated and quiet areas for the last few days and sleeping out overnight, I’m sure that you will enjoy all the short trips out and about !

What mattress are you using ?

Yes well spotted it is in fact a GMB box which houses a solar hook up to the Victron board & then to the duel battery set up. The rhs is the quick pitch shower!

Love the truck.... i have a pop top as well and they are amazing.... think i would be inclined to flip the roof lights up the other way though... less drag and may look a little better.... but just me think out loud ....

Looks Fab!!

We have a self inflating mattress that has been working very well for us so far but am always interested on how others are set up !

Good question, I thought that but the original cover I took off was basically a blanking plate ( dummy) I’m guessing it’s drawing the air from the gaps in the system & the drip vent.
Hasn’t made any difference to the Aircon or the heater. Thoughts?
