My little outfite travels along nicely, but is an odd sound at the back, sort of a croaking noise.

Any techs out there who can works it out for me..thanks.

Looks fantastic Grizzly, go for it and have a wonderful trip wherever your adventures take it. Love the frog, guess could be the croaking in the back. Just a thought.

My thoughts exactly fireheat. That frog is letting you know he has his paws stuck in the door.
love the van, very nice grizzly. Great little trailer. Was it originally a trademans trailer?

What a great look'n rig you have there Ole Grizzly, as to that croaking noise in the back, it would suggest to me at least it's not a wombat caught up in the rear end somewhere.

Sorry Grizzly.

I wonder if it might be something to do with a rear Tyre, perhaps a bit of loose rubber or similar.

Nice setup Grizzly. Yes, I think the croak is coming from that frog jammed in the back door. wink

Very nice, I often wonder why more travellers don't take a simple trailer for the extras rather than loading the truck up to the gills. How does the trailer travel in corrugated, dusty conditions?

Sorry to hear you have to sell your rig Dennis, look great.

I am wondering if the noise at the back is just the wooden floor over the metal base moving when the van flexes.

That could make the funny noises but I don't think it would be too serious if it is. Mine makes funny noises sometimes when I walk on it.
