Tried out the yogi 24 roof bars with the monster roof box doesn’t look like the coffin it did on the car 
.
A bit awkward to fit and a lock missing but otherwise do the job .
The left turn tighten might catch you out on a quick motorway service stop

Quite a productive day today!
Managed to get the rear camper conversion battery charging situation sorted, it was the Cargo VSR that was the problem! Also did an oil change ready for the trip as its been around 5k since the last oil change.
My son managed to pickup the second hand tyres in his Mini and they are actually better than what was advertised, around 6mm of tread!

Fitted the new battery this morning. Was pretty straight forward although I had looked through posts on here as I new I'd seen something about adapting the battery tray. Luckily I found a post by Lpgc, (Thread link below 
) explaining that you just need to snap/cut the drivers side end lip off of it. Easily done and the bigger battery slotted straight in. Side note anyone looking for a inspection light, Unilite torches are fantastic! Made hooking the battery clamp back on a piece of cake.

What a lovely big battery but if Im right I think you need to remove the red bungs at each end of the battery. Andy @dognero is this correct information Im giving Chris?!
"These small red or black bungs are fitted to prevent electrolyte leakage in transport and MUST be removed prior to fitment or charging of the battery. Failure to remove the bungs will mean that the breather holes are blocked during service and the battery could explode."

definitely is, About a year ago I upgraded my battery to a Yuasa and mine came with a note to remove and also a big sticker on the battery itself.

Nice catch thank you. Glad I posted a pic. Double checked with a mate who's a bit of a self taught mechanic. He said definitely remove them. Was saying if you buy a battery from a shop then they're usually already removed but if you order online with delivery then they'll be installed.
No problem glad you posted a pic.
Mine turned up recently with no bungs but apparently its meant to be a sealed AGM!

Today was stage one of our house move across to Normandy from Brittany. Loaded up the Elgrand and the MoHo and headed for the nearest camping area to the Notaire where we will be signing the completion papers on Tuesday. Tomorrow we meet the agents to inspect the property prior to signing. So all being well we will have the keys on Tuesday then it's back to Brittany on Wednesday to liaise with the removals.

You are very Nomadic Mr Fromage.
I like to stay put, I refuse to look at the colour of the grass elsewhere.

Today I pinched the screen wash pump from the silver Elgrand and fitted it to the white Elgrand!
Recently I have had to hit the pump with something to get it to work and didn't fancy doing this on my road trip!
Also cleaned the Kia wheels and tyres ready for them to be fitted!
