Oh we knew the bridge was out, Drove 50km to see if there was a river crossing to be crossed. But there was too much water and no regular detour around it. We do not do illegal offroad driving so we left it. Just a few km around so we got to see it from both sides. And trip in was great and wet and with a few more fords to cross.

More on the trailer construction here;

Has since been upgraded with solar, lithium, diesel heater, drawers and storage under an extra floor.

Thanks for the link. It appears I have seen some of it before, but maybe not from the very beginning.

Got some cheap lifepo4 cells so I built this 12v battery in a carry case. Also rebuilt my other lifepo4 into a case like this so have two of them. Plan is to have one charging from the solar on the trailer, and one from a DC-DC charger from the car alternator. And I can swap  them around.

Sounds useful and I suspect quite versatile.

I the late sixties my young dad was driving his Amazon and got pulled over by the Police. The policeman looked up and down at my fathers Volvo and said: "well, lets see if the lights work on your christmas tree"

Nice. Do the grill ones take away much cooling?

Haven't noticed any cooling problems no, but I rarely see any temps above 25C.
Not sure but I think the lower opening in the bumper lets in the most air.
