I'm running out of Grenadier things to do. Anyway , after exhausting myself installing a S/S eyebolt for the trailer breakaway brake cable , I took my good lady for a scallop pie at the tiny cafe 1/2 way up our local mountain. Followed by a 3 hour circuit walk.
We have a 4 day hike on the west Irish coast and islands in May , so keeping up the fitness.

Fitted tow ball fixing bike carrier for the first time. Pleased it could take two bikes and allow me to keep spare wheel on the back.

I have an older "Pendle" 2 bike rack which has uprights to tie the bikes to as well as wheel restraint slots. Fortunately all these fitments are slide adjustable so I can move the bikes further back from catching the spare wheel.
Also please there is no conflict between opening the rear doors and the raised jockey wheel on my trailers.

I was pleased that I didn’t have to buy another carrier. I’ve lost the ability to carry three bikes, as the space is giffed to the wheel. When carrier is fitted, I can only open smaller rear door, but now I know, I’ll plan accordingly.
Your sliding solution seems to have been well designed so you can make it work.

I noticed a few oils spots where I park the Gren. I did a thorough below chassis inspection and found nothing. Strange as the drips were rearward, between the t-case rear output and the rear diff. I was rightly perplexed. Then I remembered - I parked the RRC in that spot for a few days last week.

There's a new kid in town so the RRC is marking its territory.

I also did some cleaning today, because of that summit, but I didn't remove the carpets.
:p


I also removed the rear left trim panel (second time, first time was here), because I have some water infiltration: I discovered quite some water below the hydraulic jack, and I want to search myself the cause, otherwise my dealer will keep my car and give me a Mercedes replacement car, and I don't like it.
See the picture:

If it doesn't rain too much I will begin dismounting the underseat right side trim panel (see the fantastic explanation of @DCPU here), because I did buy an ARB CKMA12 compressor and want to install it.
Are those drain plugs Jean and did you find the cause of water ingress ?

Today, and for the next week, I’m camping remote next to Swampy Plains Creek in one of the Australian high-country alpine national parks.

Two creek crossings at night (@23:30) to get to this spot. Vehicle ate them up.

I converted my Starlink to a 12v input last week and currently running it off the vehicle’s secondary battery. Working very well. Starlink natively runs 48v, so the 12v setup that does a 48v step-up is vastly more efficient than using an inverter. Can’t claim any credit, as followed the trailblazers in the US RV scene who cracked that nut a while back.

No, it are not drain plugs, like the ones you can remove.
And my workshop thinks the water came from the right rear ventilation grids, but I have my doubt, therefore I am still monitoring this.

It is or was anyway a very slow water infiltration.

Mine is in for service and I've asked them to investigate the issue so hopefully will get some feedback if not its dismantle time .
