When we sold the Holtkamper we were in mourning for a long while, even though we had purchased a caravan in the meanwhile.

Luckily the buyer, who comes fom Holland, often sends us pictures of their holiday with the Astro. So we know it went to a good home!.

Hi Richard

I saw one of your posts (just joined and cannot get back to the page that I was on when before I went through the 'create account' process) re using Thule 90 Soft Boxes on the Solena.

We bought a Solena on Saturday evening, 30th April in South Wales, having driven down from Scotland on the same day ... We camped out - bit fresh, but hey ho.

Anyway, how did the Thule bags fit on the trailer roof rack? Did you try to obtain any roof rack/roof bars or similar? I'm sure there won't be enough storage in the trailer and I'd rather not have stuff on display with a 'Please steal me' sign attached ...

Final question - can you recall the tyre pressures you used for the trailer? Can't seem to find any information!

Cheers.

Steve

Hi Steve sorry for delay in reply, it seems so long ago now but if you only have one box to fit then the quick release fittings you get with the Ranger 90 will simply fit to the Solena top rack if like me you want 2 boxes then I made a couple of bars with brackets and drilled through the top rack then attached with nuts and bolts,so the boxes were fitted sideways one at front and other behind. I let one box go with the sale of the trailer the other I kept incase I needed it as it happens I don't need it so I am looking to sell it on. As for tyre pressure if my memory serves me correctly I think they were really high about 4.8 bar
You will have a great time in your Solena they are lovley and comfy too

Hi Richard

Thanks very much for the responses to each of my posts. I feared that I would have to produce a DIY solution - much easier if it's possible to just buy the relevant Thule Kit Pack (albeit more painful for the credit card!).

Hacksaw and drill bits to the fore ...

How much are you looking for to sell the second Thule 90 box?

Regards.

Steve

Hi Richard

I just replied to your post but it seems to have evaporated. Apologies if you receive 2 replies!

I've been away over the weekend trying out the new tent and awning - and all the supporting kit that I have had to buy ...

I'd like to offer £60 for the bag, please.

Regards.

Steve
