Stupid Money. At least you have a house which is yours so you dont have to move the wagon every move
It'll roll again soon and you'll be happy... but then, we wouldn't have anything to talk about... unless you already have another project hidden in your shed.

ive got it in the spare wheel well, a sealed battery no taller than 180mm fits great, you just have to make up a clamp.
i also used a vb-vh spare wheel cover, its metal and has a hing at the front so there no chance of anything falling through it onto the battery etc.
