Awesome photography and I like the side boxes.
Which boxes did you use? |

The side box is actually a rugged IP67 rated guitar flight case!
Cost me £120.new on the bay 
Fitted on cargo tracking so easy to remove when required... Click image to enlarge |

 but do you run those rear window grills/vents 24/7? Always considering picking a set up, many advantages to it? Stuart

I bought a pair of the grilles and use 1 in the 110 and 1 in the 130 to keep some ventilation going when parked up.
They are noisy at motorway speeds however so tend to take them out on a run. |

Just back in from a successful missing child search. Straight to the tent to save waking SWMBO and the kids up

Must have slept well after that sorta success
Man of many tents, so how does one decide which to sleep in, or was the trailer setup awaiting your return? Stuart

Also, if in a decade you ever decide to sell a lightweight, please consider me cause the more I look at yours the more I want them, trailers and all!!!!!!

 The trailer / roof tent is set up permanently.
The hardshell tent on top of the 130 is more spacious and better in the weather. However, if I get a shout in the middle of the night I don't want to be faffing about trying to put my tent away before getting going
The new penman trailer project is still ticking along. Getting a hard, lifting lid made up for it which will take the tent and a kayak / bike. Was a good result last night, we had 4 search dogs, police helicoper, full Mountain Rescue search team and half of the village out. A local farmer found the young lad safe and sound |

I think the lightweights are in it for the long haul, especially given the way the prices are going.. The Red Arrows restoration is looking stonking so far so that one is definitely going to be a sunny days only vehicle (and eventually the kids inheritance )
I've got a horrible feeling I might ask the guy to restore my green one as well in the future 
He's got a 3 year waiting list at the moment I believe so might be a while. |

Good to hear he was safe! My best mate from Uni went missing in the highland when he was 3 back in 2000. He caused such a scare that even my parents, 19 years later could remember it when I asked them if they knew of it, despite living hundreds of miles away and not knowing the family at all!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/972899.stm I now call him "Dinosaur boy" from time to time...
As for your arsenal of Lightweights I can understand. Although what I don't understand is why you don't have a public Instagram page for the camel fleet!?!? I need more knee weakening photos of these absolute specimens in my life - you're clearly far from a naff photographer like myself  The joyous goat is my favourite!  Stuart
