I have never seen one combined with a waste carrier and am curious as to how you have seen several if they are under the van.

It conjours up a picture involving lying on the ground or standing on the head !

I need am emoticon to show curiosity

Best wishes

John I have seen them on German vans when i think about it they where probably going over a rise when I was behind them. But they definatly had a spare wheel and watertank(their version of the wastemaster underneath.I lived in Germany till recently they had them on sale at a lot of shops, but I havenet seen them here in th UK.

Hi Ian

That is interesting

I lived in Berlin(1965-69) and the van I had then didn't have a spare wheel even.

The thought of travelling the 110 miles down the Berlin corridor through East Germany without a spare wheel scares me now but then discovering a large split in the tyre at a forbidden toilet stop near to Helmstedt was greeted with aplomb and the tyre was changed--when we got to Denmark

You learn to be more reponsible if you live long enough
