    32 minutes, the sound of church bells almost made me cry. We’ve lost so much in U.K. I remember 60 years ago, you always heard the bells especially on Sunday, more than once. 55 years ago, I was a junior chorister and assistant bell pull operator. I remember always doing what the vicar told us not to do, and that was to keep hold of the bell pull on the upstroke, when I’d be winched up to the ceiling and down again like a monkey, laughing hysterically.

    Christian, like all the jobs you do and things you make, all done with absolute German precision. Vera, don't forget the shadows that all those led lights will throw on all the surfaces of your rooftop tent, one word "discretion", I've camped in many camping areas over a long life and been amazed at some of the "shadow puppet shows" we've witnessed, some folks have no idea...

    • @Vera_and_Christian

    And who ever said Germans don't have a sense of humour?!?! I was busting a seam over you guys. I used to be an adjunct lecturer at the NATO School in Oberammergau for about a decade and spent a lot of time in Bavaria. You two are every good stereotype of being German! Anyway, thanks for the entertainment and ideas. My wife and I have an Aussie made forward fold camper trailer which is basically a GIANT rooftop tent with wheels. Your LED light solution and NASA control unit are perfect for what we need. Now I know what my next project is for it. Tschuss!
