We managed to launch Campalot down the drive and get it on the back of the truck yesterday, so today I finished tweaking the tie downs and we took it out for a spin. We took it about 30km up to speeds of 105kph which is probably as fast as I ever want to take it when overtaking. It felt pretty stable without any side to side rocking or lifting of the nosecone at speed, but the front does bounce quite well on rough roads - I think it is rocking against the rear tie downs so I may need to beef those up a bit.
So overall I think we have a successful build that fits on the truck and works as expected. So now I can really start phase 2 and spending lots of money on things like windows and water heaters....and Maria can decide how high she wants the kitchenette counter....
