Well I dragged this all the way to Snetterton from Fleet on Thursday tea-time, all the way back (at 40 mph,thanks to Mr Tesco for the sh*t fuel),on Saturday evening, and not one of you lot spotted me.... , are you all blind ?....That was almost 8 hours wasted

Any suggestions as to how to make it more notice-able gratefully received

thank you, and will look out for you on my many travels.

how do you get on with the mirrors on the van?

Mirrors are fine, I did get a longer armed (mk4 ?) mirror for the nearside but never got round to fitting it.
The bulges on the trailer sides (to clear the mirrors of the car inside), just about line up with the Tranny mirrors but its no problem, they don't seem to obscure the view.
