Tony, if you start rethinking your setup it'll never get finished.
this is one reason my processor is not yet finished, apart from working outside in a field and it not being a major priority. i have gone the other way and  put all the bells and whistles on, only to take them all off again as the chemistry changed.

 might get a bit more done now the rain has stopped for a while. just got to wait for the water to drain away. still a foot deep in mud at the moment. i now have all the bits including a m67 heater to pre heat the oil which will save on genny time.

I suspect the RangeRover wouldn't pull the caravan in and out of your field at the moment  :)

At least the delay means a respite for the poor cat

poor cat has decided its far too wet to go outside at the moment. if she jumps out of the coach door she sinks  in a foot of mud. had to get a litter tray. suppose that counts as  "continual removal of sediment" just to stay vaguely on topic.

A decent set of off road tyres, locked front and rear diffs at tick over or slightly higher and it should even pull his coach out!

I'm a fair weather camper... well caravaner I'm ashamed to say!  Mind you the kids were pretty impressed with your place - they'd be up for it :-)

given the somewhat delicate nature of some areas of the coach i think there might not be a lot of coach making it out onto the road.
