Well, due to personal reasons it just Gail and I. Two days completed and driving through france in the Westy is amazing, 32' heat with traffic free winding roads. Day 1 was a total of 300 miles to get to Honfleur, well worth it - a lovely habour town that we spent the morning exploring. Day 2 started at lunch with a 135 miled drive to Amiens. A bit cooler today with a good mix of nearly flat out blasts (not allowed flat out due to passenger), hit 90 at a couple of points, and winding through the forrests. Ibis hotels are very good, you wouldnt want to stay here for a week, but somewhere clean and cool to lay your head after a long drive they are great. Off to reims tomorrow

No worries Phil ."might" I would hope that would be a given !!!

My quick rough 'n ready Tom Tom attachment was a big square of industrial Velcro (the hook side) stuck to the back of the sat nav. This then just stuck to the carpet, wherever you put it down! Worked so well, I never did change it...

Check very carefully. That's a very busy point in many builds. If, (and it's a big if), the main loom runs along the right hand upper chassis rail through this area. It branches off to come up through the tunnel cover to feed the dash, heater, wipers etc. You may also have an engine sub loom coming in along the left hand upper chassis rail and connecting across to the main loom somewhere under the scuttle. It's not uncommon to see any "excess" loom bunched up and "lost" in this area. Additionally, you have those that like to run fuel and brake lines in the tunnel that sometimes run them along side the upper left chassis rail. Make sure you either have eyes on the back of the panel you intend to drill through, or you get a hand down the tunnel, James Herriot style! and physically feel that the back of the panel is clear. That said, it's the perfect spot for it other wise. Just watch if using self tappers, that nothing can move round in the tunnel and chaff on them. If you are obstructed by wires etc. Consider making a mounting plate to fit on top of the tunnel, that is wide enough to be secured directly into the left and right upper chassis rails.

How long did it take to set this photo up ? Only the bird you were trying to photograph seems to have flown away !
