Having recently bought it, I have the following thoughts/questions:
- Does anybody know anything about the Tiara Presential G20 conversion. I can virtually nothing on the net about the TIARA MOTOR COACH (TMC)DIVISION / company, who I understand were responsible
- Boy is a long beast. I was thinking of a rear camera for parking (good toy). Proper ones seem a bit dear, but I wondered if I could buy something like this from Fleabay (25 quid)

and then detach the screen, solder in some wires etc... Sound possible?

- Anybody got a tow bar they want to sell.

- has anybody fitted a 'back-up' Battery, so when the kids drain the standard one you can still start it?

Cheers,
Jimbo

Can't help with the camera but I know that Maplin sell devices you can connect to your battery-draining equipment that will shut them off before the battery goes completely dead. Otherwise, fit a second battery somewhere and you can buy changeover switches, mainly intended for boats I think. Something like item 60510 on this page http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinestore/battconns/battisol.php

I've fitted leisure batterys to 2 yanks and had a splitter fitted to charge both and it works a treat, In one of my limos i can watch a 3 hour dvd on a flat screen from the battery.
