I am a new man

What I mean to say is that I wish to say HELLO not that I am a new man.

Anyway I have a 1988 c15D with roof bars that carry a 18 ft kayak.

I will soon make a tow hook as I am a welder.

Soon i will replace some parts such as the track control arm bushes, caliper seals, etc. today I had to set the tracking as it was out a bit.

Anyway i make things out of steel so if it fits on the romahome then I'll keep all informed.

By the way, do your c15 s roll a bit?

Hello

Welcome to the forum, its great to have you here, you sound a very handy chap to have around, look forward to hearing about your little add on's for your romahome.

We have had people asking about roof racks for canoes on Romahomes before so you are not on your own.

Happy camping.

Crumbs, That was quick, a reply already.

Hi Graham, I'll take some photos of the bars, kayak carrier and the kayak all on top and how it should be done safe and securely. Hopefully wednesday but the rain in Brixham is non-stop

Only when you have an 18 ft kayak on the top

Has yours got spring assistors on the back? They normally help.

Not sure if i should answer this as i don`t own a romahome (See Album)

Depends if your staionary & how many occupants are in the back at the time it rolls if on the open road this could be very dangerous if your van is over crowded
Welcome to The Forum a sense of humour is a must have criteria here lol

Well to be honest I know why it rolls a bit, mainly on curves in the road.
With rear springs 22 years old and worn bushes on the end of the anti-roll bar then it will happen. Age weakens the springs so i can either put a spacer in or just replace them with some new ones.
brakes are a little worrying, very soft and a leaky left caliper that I'll repair thursday.

Replaced track rod end ball joints, worn and threads seized in the tube but fixed all the same.

Anyway 1 question, my lady and I would like to attend a camp meet or something if there's any in a month or so, near a river or the sea so we can go kayaking too and exchange info from me and lady talk from her.

never knew a site existed like this

The brakes on the C15 are a bit dodgy, someone once asked if they were an "optional extra" , you will learn to give yourself plenty of time to stop.

Regarding meets we are having a meet in April at Wolverley which is right beside a canal, if that's any help.

You can read about it here.

It has a canal you can kayak on, and your missus can chat to the rest of the gang, see details for spring meet, email Graham if you want to join us in the pub for saturday night meal. you will need to book with camping and caravan club for Wolverley. Look forward to seeing you both.
