    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

    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...

    3 Way Fridges On Ebay Opinions?

    Evening Farang, To be honest if it's only just above the top fridge vents it wouldn't need throttling as it would only be an extra few cm in any case. One of the most important add ons with any fridge is a fan system to give a boost to the cooling air driven past the rear of the fridge. I've...

    3 Way Fridges On Ebay Opinions?

    Usually the commercial exhaust that you can purchase from the likes of Dometic, increase the exhaust length by not much more than about 15cm from the top of the fridge exhaust to where it would vent to the atmosphere. Phil.

    3 Way Fridges On Ebay Opinions?

    Be aware that an exhaust that long could cause problems with the heater exchanger, in so much as if the heat by the exchanger is too much the fridge might be so efficient that it becomes a freezer more than a fridge, it's not the air circulation around the fins I'm talking about it's the...

    Expansion Foam Insulation

    Just as quick note to say Phil (Millie) that my daughters van has been repaired and it's a great job they replaced the bottom side panel and replaced the complete drivers door, it now looks in fine fettle and the daughter is over the moon with it. Phil

    3 Way Fridges On Ebay Opinions?

    I put one that I bought off Amazon into my Daughters build, the exhaust I made up from diesel heater exhaust and fitted dometic fridge vents and it's working beautifully. These cheap Chinese fridges have the same exhaust as the more well known big brands but are a lot lower down due to the...

    Ventilation opening on the side of the van.

    I have found that very little water ever enters the fridge vents on any of the vehicles I have converted, yes some enters if the rain is horizontal through gale force winds but then very few if any vents are going to prevent that. So short of adding a closing vent or small opening/closing...

    Community Update and Poll: The Future of MotorhomeBuilder.com

    Hi Phil, yes the site as it stands does not now host as many posts as it used to, wether this is because self builds are having a decline is not certain but certainly I have noticed that it now seems days between posts and nowere near the amount of newbi questions to keep the site busy, I...
