Happened to be passing this afternoon tea-time spotted the camper amongst some other pre-airshow campers in field opposite
stopped, got onto the camping field intending to leave a card at least, found Donnie & Barbara in their Northstar,
travelled all the way down from the Shetland Isles and set up for weekend

On A34 going towards Oxford about 12.30 Monday Northstar on red twin cab pick-up. I must say the camper was at a very odd angle, front seemed to be pointing skyward.

.... Oh Dear... possibly a Navarra without the optional chassis mods?

I didn't realise they had to have mods but something was definitely not right, instead of camper sitting flat it was at an angle pointing skyward overcab.

Well Vivienne, by 'mods' Tony is I expect referring to a popular strengthening of the chassis kit on sale for Navara's
There is also a more commonplace addition of air bags on the rear axle, there are kits you can buy and fit that will correct your truck if it tends to 'sag' a little at rear
Not everyone bothers but they are useful certainly
