Mounting and Demounting
Re: Mounting and Demounting
Don't know how many times I watched that video when I was thinking about buying a Bimobil. Must've been in the triple figures.

Re: Mounting and Demounting
So have I .. that video makes it look so easy!
The second time was as you say a bit easier, however the rear leg broke our friends gravel drive (with concrete underneath) with so much focussed weight in one area (the ol' stilleto and elephant conversation about force on an area), we punctured a hole straight through.
We sorted out a few planks of wood that resolved the hole problem, and spread the load. On a tarmaced road I'm sure this will be fine, but offloading the cabin on anything else is going to be a bit unnerving!
Lifting the demountable to that height though did make it feel particularly unstable... so much so Mrs HB had to go inside as she couldnt watch when I was backing it in!
