perhaps a little long? although it would be easy enough to lop a foot or two off from behind the wheels..

this tank would also work well, for the actual BBQ but its rather a drive away, would cost about £60 in fuel to go get...

unless we took the tahoe! about £35 - £40 then

-edit- scrub that, its just a hair too long to go in the tahoe, but would go in the astro ok...

The trailer would be an ideal basis of bit to make a proper one. Chop the chassis up and start again.

Also £10 is a bargain if it's all in working order.

Its not the best size, also has no stabalisers on the corners

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #15 on:** November 23, 2005, 01:46:01 am »

nah, i noticed that. the chassis for a 12ft caravan will be ideal.

trailer lights and reflectors arrived today! *yay*
