Carnage of the Cape MkII

[Symon]

Following on from last years thread I thought it would be a good idea to post up what got damaged this year.  Compared to past years I did pretty well I thought -

1 x drivers side side step bent (Palm Creek)
1 x bent tray (Palm Creek)
1 x leaking transfer seal (mud)
1 x vent control linkage
1 x broken GME antenna (low tree branch)
3000 x bush pinstripes
2 x lost D-shackles

RELAX - it'll buff out . . . . .

[D4D]

I assume the U bolts broke and the rest was flow on from that?

[McGirr]

This is also what happened to Tim....

Before



After



Plus this



and he never complained.

You are correct sir.

must have been a bad bit of road 

The road was actually in the best condition I've ever seen it.  Still plenty of corrugations though.

I must confess this one has me baffled.
Explanation please???
Bill

One of the vent control linkages has broken off (assuming due to corrugations), so my AC now continually blows onto the windscreen.

My damage....

Side steps on one side courtesy of Palm Creek



Right hand side of the camper courtesy of Palm Creek which had me stuck



Left hand side of the camper. It's great to have matching sides. The drop down legs are shot on both sides which I knew would be sacrificed to the OTL gods.



The brakes on the left hand side are destroyed.




All up I escaped pretty easy. Very little bush pin stripping , must be my driving.

Right hand slider ( Lh also bent, but it was bent bore we started), aircon light doesn't work ( but aircon seems ok), battery charger on CT died (picked up a replacement from Jetcrew on the track).
