Barryd999 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have come up with an absolutely brilliant idea which I hope to put into production shortly. It is really a motorhome without a motor. Remove the cab area, bolt on an A frame with a towhitch and connect it to a 4 x 4 fitted with a towball. Hey presto, you can pull it along with the car. :) Brilliant or what? I am going to call it a Carahome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 No, it'll never catch on. How about putting the A-frame on the front of your car, and then pull it behind your motorhome ? So you can avoid height barriers ?? don't need a 4x4 then . *-) Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candapack Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Good luck with that. Let us know how it goes. Expect you've already got this covered, but have you thought about putting another towbar on the back of your "Carahome" (great name by the way), so you could also take a titchy wee car, for sightseeing etc. :-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJay Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Make the "Outfit" long enough , (car, van plus A frame car) and you would have to have a "convoy exeptional" plus police outrides as well!! Might be difficult in the area you live in Barry ?? Narrow roads up in Yorkshire PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertieburstner Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I've had a wizard wheeze as well. I'm going to get all the 1000's of tracks on my ipod mix them up and "transmit" the songs through the atmosphere. I will do this from a central station. Perhaps i will get somebody to talk and "link" the songs together. Soon people will have no need for ipods, wi fi, 3G 4G routers streaming devices etc etc. They will simply spend about £10 on a a "radio", £2 on batteries. These "radios" will pick up signals everywhere and there will be no ongoing cost. I do hope it catches on! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I've come up with another idea for 'adapting' an existing produce to make it a useful bit of kit in a motorhome or even a carahome ... When washing-up some people use a standard home type dish drainer on a tray which is okay but not ideal as they tend to be quite big and we don't necessarily need the large number of 'plate holder' slots on them which make it difficult to 'stack' the rest of the pots. So it got me thinking what else would do the job: it would need to be watertight but nothing too expensive, and ideally in a variety of sizes but as space is often limited not overly bulky, able to be used left or right of the sink, incorporating a slope so the water drains away into a 'trench'. I've been decorating and that was when I got my 'light bulb' moment ... a paint tray! They can be got from £1 shops all over the place, or DIY shops etc and range in size from 4" to 15" widths, in plastic and metal. It would also double up as a 'washboard' too for when you want to do your smalls etc (ideally not at the same time as the washing up! :D ).

Tracker Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Great idea Mel - or you could just buy a decent van with an all in one proper sink with a draining area 'cos that don't leak neither? Even better - you could get a chopping board to slot over the draining area and use it for food preparation - wow - a dual purpose drainer!

Brit_Stops Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 How about squeezing an engine and associated gubbins inside the front of a caravan so you don't have to tow it anymore? I'd call it a motorvan and it might look something like this. I'd be willing to discuss terms if you'd be interested in adding it to your range, Barry.
