My neighbour who is into VWs helped me build a frame to roll Bishop onto his side. The two side sections pull out to go either side to roll it right or left.
It works really easy as one person can roll it over.
We based it on the one he made for his oval and the steel was just under $100.00
Now i need to find some castor wheels for pushing it back under house when on its side.
