Ok TC you definitely have a point...a third hand would be needed with all these gadgets! So will scrap that idea.

Now sandi, I like the rear bumper idea...alot!! Just have to make sure the emergency brake was on! And no I won't be practising this one!

<i>Of course, this isn't suggested if it's very cold outside, as skin on metal... not a pretty picture... ugh!</i>

Well, no worries about cold in Africa. Its actually a great system, though. I use it often in Mexico when we emerge on a deserted beach after long snorkels. Open the car door to act as a privacy shield, and do the "fanny lean" on the edge of the door step. Works like a charm.

The door step is also good.

Generally I'd say that cold wouldn't be an issue in Africa except if you're at Ngorongoro at 7,000' or other areas at high altitude! It's been known to freeze that high up!

We just have to cover all basis and likelihoods for such an important function!

I don't know the elevation of Botswana, but it fell to less than 40F while we were there. That's pretty cold. Kruger in S Africa wasn't much warmer.
