"If you don't get stuck, you weren't trying hard enough!"

Get the evidence pictures first, then do the recovery; you never know when you need a favour in the future.

He wasn't stuck, just banking it over to get more petrol out of the tank, trying to break his fuel fill up record

The meeting was fun, more than I thought. But meeting some people live is also fun. The person who organized it @HugBE was the first one to see my car one day before me (He was by chance at the lousy dealer when they got their first delivery and he posted on this forum a video of the delivery) and @Major_B and me have - besides another country AND small city in common... he is free to disclose this information
That's why those events are also interesting ...

Looking good so far. Still some trim to finish and awning to fit. Then come up with some ideas for kit out inside. Auxiliary fuel tank going in at the end of the month

Finally got these installed.

Installed this phone mount from Bulletpoint. Fits perfectly if you don’t have heated seats.

The Vista RV Crossover XLE is picked up and put in storage. I am now back home for more of the endless doctor's appointments. I may need some airbags in the rear.

Nice looking Crossover Doc, what is the ball weight, I put Eibach springs in mine straight after delivery thinking that would be enough, but I had to fit airbags also.
The ball weight on my hybrid off road caravan is 280kg with empty water tanks, and 240kg with full water tanks.

Around 130kg as seen in the picture, fully loaded (1980kg) that may go as high as 180kg.

The Vista RV tows really well behind the IG. Almost no extra wind resistance courtesy of the van, just extra weight. It must be the go fast red stickers.

The van is about 1cm to 2cm wider on each side. No towing mirrors are needed, standard mirrors work well. I can see straight down each side of the van.

The IG is more stable at 110kph with the van attached. Van has same tyres as the car (KO2s), but we could not match the stud pattern on the rim.
