    Serious question @Geordie. Surely all that wood is going to ease a bit as you drive and then squeak all round you as it rubs together?

    It’s just that when I drive my van it sounds like the London Symphony Orchestra has snuck in the back. All the wood bits squeak, rattle and graunch as they rub together. Not casting aspersions on @Geordie s workmanship but it’s the nature of wood to do that.
    Anyone who’s tried to creep up a flight of wooden stairs quietly, after staying out too late drinking, will know this.
    There’s a lot of wood and joints in that there Gypsy...

    Point well made.

    Have you seen the shape of wooden framed Tudor houses after they have seasoned?
