Yeah, I was shocked, I didn't even have to do that much. I walked out for around 40 bucks and didn't have to do ANYTHING! it is kinda scary what could be on the road without any inspection.
Glad your up and running.

Thanks for the interest
My "dog kennel" is still in the container...its rumoured to have passed somalia safely and is at present sitting in the Muscat docks after 3 months at sea............
The only trip we took it on so far...the batteries were'nt charged in the camera..up in the sierras, it rode great.
So not yet is the answer to that.....but I should have it next week, unpack the house and then re-assemble the trailer.
my company won't ship "trailers"....but a huge dog kennel was fine
eepwall:
This country is a camp anywhere you want...beach wadis mountains desert
no gates -restrictions-entry fees-or reservations required
So you be seeing lots of update pics pretty soon

Well the trailer finally showed up at the beginning of December,
then it was crimbo.
We've only done two camping trips with it due to the lack of power in the Toyo I bought.
Offroad it handles great, the suspension is wicked, on road you don't even notice it
Camping is not as easy now with a little one, just the quantity of baby gear required is huge
and now summer is in full swing...
40oC Plus is not camping weather with a young baby.
Any way as the heat arrived out came the tools again to start finishing off the interior as it was a bare dog kennel when shipped.
One side bin is now kitchen storage with dust proof containers, just in case it gets past the door seals..
I then set about a bar, I loved some one on here's three piece aluminum bar set but could not find the sig type bottles here so had to settle for plastic...
Bought 6- found I could fit 8 but the shop had sold out...so I've two spare slots
The tops sloped so that it's removable if required, a lot of work slopping all the dividers but the finished article is fine
Bottles obviously will be labled with containts...juice...water....lemon....etc etc
just in case we get stopped and searched....the tall glasses being ideal for "virgin" cubalibres:coffeedrink:
