Hi
i've bit the bullet ............
i paid my deposit for a rather fetching dark red bongo, af top, alloys, climate control, loads of switches that i have no idea what are for and electric curtains !!!

i should get it around 1st of feb, i'm so excited
cheers Dave

WELCOME TO THE CLUB .what you want to do is read and ask as many questions as you want,(even if you think they are really stupid questions).
and then try to get to one of the many meets that are organised in the N/West Yorkshire section's to have a look and ask more questions and pinch ideas.
as for your batteries they could be two cold starter batteries or one of them a leisure battery .

you mentioned kayaks, on forum there is a member called alant54 who makes roof racks for the aft (i have one) and he can prob make them to order or even certain size. might be handy for carrying your kayak.

Now then - 1st of Feb. . .
Looks to me that you have two weeks to wind down & say goodbye to life as you know it now.
Once the bum is scrunched on that seat for the first time, things will never be the same again.
You've made the right choice.
Look forward to seeing you at a meet.
Welcome.
2 batteries
