Hi Dale,
One thing about having the body above the guards is that you have the option of swinging either way. It is a bit hard to tell from the photos, but is that door fitted the right way up? Or have they changed the design a bit since we got ours?

On the other hand, I would encourage you to do as much work as you can "in the flat" or on the bench. It goes much easier and quicker that way, IMO.

Good advice. I would also recommend that when you get the walls up that you do as much as you can on the interior before you put the roof on. It can be rather cramped and awkward working in there after the top is on, and that was only fitting cupboard doors.

Yea Frank pretty sure there the right way up but these are thier new doors so possibly a bit different.
I've chosen to mount them on the open site sides from what thier spoked to be "suicide style" as it it puts the grab rail on my left on my side to get in plus there's loads of room for it to fold back against the side

As I said it is a bit difficult to tell from the photos. Have they got the opening window at the top or the bottom?

At the top,
It has a passive vent it looks like above the slide down Wi Dow.
I did what any excited intelligent bloke does and removed the colored stickers and cleaned them up before I read them ....:)

Is the sliding pane on the inside or outside of the fixed pane?

That sounds like it is upside down. The passive vent is the water drain, and the top window needs to be outside the bottom one so that rain water will drip down the outside of the bottom one.
Raining here again this morning :rainy: and I have a load of mowing to do before tomorrow, Christmas day.

Yea i suspect your right.
Seems like it would be better to have the opening at the top but your dead right.
Happy moving and merry Xmas

Glad to be of help. Better to find out now and not on a wet night out camping way out the back of beyond.
Best wishes to you and yours for Christmas and may the new year treat you well. :)
The rain has gone for now and I am just having a late lunch, about to start the last lawn, about 4 acres of it. Thank goodness for a big fast ride on.

Some how during conversions I've ballsed up my side profile and can't seem to correct it.
The 48 inch radius converts to 1219.2mm and I think I pulled it back to 1200 but I can't seem to get the 19 inch radius meet up to look right I'm at a loss what to do.
The top radius looks ok but since I've added the xterm material to it I'm struggling to get it to look right any thoughts? My side profiles a page back
