To be honest all i have actually bought new is 2 packs of baton and some L brackets.
The rest is recycled,begged ,skip raided ect.
what was in there before i started was a "bed made ont side of road"
But i NEED it to be right/safe and storage man i need storage innit to carry my lot.
Bearing in mind we disapear on the road for months on end :)

You likey ?
