    portable propane water heater query

    This is a unit that I had considered when I was building my daughters van last year, however because it was a medium wheelbase Ducato I went in the end for a Truma 10ltr gas/230v water heater as space was paramount. Saying that I did study how it would be incorporated into the build if I'd...

    portable propane water heater query

    A bit difficult to think without a visual photo of where you intend to place the unit or indeed how large the unit will be. Wether it is supplied by a high pressure pump and what sort of head pressure the pump will supply, what pressure does the shower unit need to operate correctly, is it Gas...

    Calorifier

    I've often thought of using one Mark, but have never got round to it. I had one on a yatch years ago and it worked really well, as mate of mine has one in his van and swears by it. Phil

    Membership and self build

    Good evening fellow builders, I have noticed over the last year that the site has although recieving new members, the question content and discussion has lapsed to the point of almost being non existent. This has surprised me as on my journey around the continent over September and October...

    Steering Wheel Spacer For More Lap/ Leg Room

    With respect I'm not asking anything, I'm saying what the construction and use of a vehicle presented for MoT is. How difficult it is to accomplish would be down to the engineering skills and equipment available to the op or any other person who decided to attempt this modification. The...

    Shower Room Lining

    Looks good for me, I'd think that the suction caused by the ribbed adhesive would be enough to hold it up while it sets, but make sure you have a back up means of pressing the sheet up against the buffalo board. Phil

    Shower Room Lining

    That's exactly what I used Mark, and as I said earlier it's as good now as when I fitted it 11 years ago. One thing I will say is to use the heaviest spray contact you can buy to stick them up. Phil.

    Shower Room Lining

    I used 1.5mm white pvc 2400x1200 hygienic Sheets used for commercial kitchens. Bought off ebay 11 years ago now but still as good as the day I stuck it up and completely waterproof. They still sell it on ebay but the price ofcourse has risen considerably since. Phil.

    Shower Room Lining

    I'd be interested in knowing which sheets you have sourced, I've done a bit of a search but can't seem to find anything suitable. Can you post some details. 🤔 Phil.

    Yes I suppose your right, I don't propose to understand why anyone would robotically troll sites. Phil.

    I wasn't having a go at old members Mark excuse the wording not meant literally :), It's just one wonders why so many are viewing the site every day but nobody ever enquires as to how to do something or other, I feel sure that the art of building (Bodging) is not known by all :). Phil

    Online views

    I notice everytime I check in to see what's happening that there are usually over 200 guests viewing these threads, which in turn I surmise means that there must still be many people either building their own or thinking of doing so. I can't understand why no questions are being asked or why...

    Self build on the continent

    Morning all, we have been going to the continent for nigh on 25 years using first years a Swift 630L Sundance which was great for when the kids wanted to come with us at home or abroad but as the kids left home in turn we found it too large for the Italian Village roads and so built our own as...

    Sky / Freesat on the continent.

    I haven't said but we have been touring the continent for the last three weeks of a two month tour, we have been down to Pompeii and Herculaneum, visiting Pisa for the third time as this was as far south in Italy that we had previously been mainly because my wife Eileen had not retired on our...

    3 Way Fridges On Ebay Opinions?

    Only just noticed this post, no ideally the fridge exhaust should always be vented to outside. In theory if the fridge cabinet is sealed totally from the living space and vented top and bottom then the fridge exhaust could be allowed to directly empty into the cabinet space though in practice...
