Re: Our Searle Safari

they didn't use chipboard - they used blockboard
Come on - splitting hairs or what?!!

We poor "Johny Foreigners" class these both as 'bois homogéne'. Quality boatbuilders (ie. : other than Searle!) used marine quality ply!

Re: Our Searle Safari

I don't like Dormobile stuff, it's far too 'metally' Then why don't you travel in a horse-drawn Gypsy caravan? What on earth do you suppose a Land Rover is made of? Martin-Walter's furniture was produced in the 1950s, and was perfectly in tune with LR's light-weight metal bodywork. Searle's DIY/Bod...

P.S. If necessary - I could play the Press Card (Land Magazine, Univers Land, Touring, Revue Automobile etc.) !

Hi Robin

Many thanks for your diplomatic expertise! I'd like to attend an event in March/April/May (fairly flexible on dates!) where I could meet up with a maximum of LRCC members, and also campaign for donations to the Morocco Farm Water pump appeal. Would be in the area about a week - 10 days.

RobW: Do they do underfloor heating, jacuzzi & steam room for a Dorma?
Sure! Underfloor heating as an extra courtesy of Eberspächer - water jets and misting courtesy of LR door & window seals! :mrgreen:

Re: The Farm, Morocco. Water Pump Appeal?

We are in a bit of a Catch 22 situation here, as the brothers need to accept they need help, and to define what that help should be, before we start raising funds. As they are traditional Muslim gentlemen, they will naturally be adverse to any notions of 'charity'. Also, we don't really know what th...
