    What colour?

    Personally speaking I would only go for solid colours (far easier to touch up) and neutral colours as well with no in your face/brash colour schemes. So this would rule out any bright yellow/orange colours or indeed any bright colour schemes as they would surely date very quickly indeed? So...

    Plywood paneling - how to get this smooth seemless finish?

    Sorry but I can't stand self promoting YouTube videos like this one! My walls are made out of 4mm lightweight oak ply and are seamless, it's not all that hard to do, you just have to be very careful when first attaching them to the walls and then most importantly of all with the finishing which...

    Noise difference btwn. Transit L3H3 bus vs Transit L4H3 jumbo freighter

    If it was my decision, whenever and wherever possible I would avoid a Transit for the simple reason that they can rust like crazy! I would definitely fit a shower & loo as it means you would have far more freedom as to where you park up for the night and 5 toilet needs will become exceptionally...

    The damnable DVLA are at it again!!

    I know a BSA M20 is supposed to be a side valve four stroke, but that looks very much like a two stroke to me??

    Solar on my touring campervan.. a waste of time ?

    Once whilst undertaking an almost 5,000 mile European tour, including extensive mileage in the alps, my 2008 Renault Master 2.5 dCi 100 averaged almost exactly a corrected 40 mpg.! It has 2 quite large solar panels on the roof along with 3 roof vents, however they are all in line and the front...

    The damnable DVLA are at it again!!

    Why not use such a great classic bike, after all with modern oils and careful maintenance they can be made to run sweatly almost forever? Just around the corner from where I live is a family who are all, in the nicest possible fashion, as nutty as fruit cakes and have several M20's, I even...

    SBMCC

    And at very much the same time so many more of us left. As we all knew the SBMCC existed so that those in the clique inner circle could go away on regular drunken jollies at the expense of all the other members, it was a total stitch up!!!! Phil

    HTF's campervan build

    Have you by any chance loaded all the tanks (water. foul water, grey water, diesel, gas) to the brim, loaded your normal holiday gear, your food and you and your passengers into the van and then gone onto a weighbridge? Is the total GVW still within limits or do you need to replate? Phil

    Uprating my van weight.

    Nothing ever ceases to amaze me the way that government institutionns can delay things! As an example, we are going through the throws of registering our Powers Of Attorney. Both were sent in at exactly the same time, mine came through almost 3 months ago but my most beloveds is still somwhere...

    High altitutide hazard

    I have had exactly the same thing happen with my cassette! I believe it might have been caused by the distinctly higher ambient temperature at lower altitude and then you went to 1,200 where the temp. was no doubt quite a bit lower, but the air inside the cassette would still have been at the...

    Well I’ve gone & bought our next van.. although it’s not a van yet!

    If it were me, I would do as I did when going through the DVLA saga, namely, I produced a very detailed high quality booklet in full colour which showed approx. 30 images of the build at various stages of the construction along with a detailed spread sheet showing the costs. This I then perfect...

    Well I’ve gone & bought our next van.. although it’s not a van yet!

    Darren you me and no doubt the vast majority of us are of the same opinion, all I do know is that it is a bloody stupid minefield out there about which next to no one is likely to know the answer!! And that is the great thing about our exchanging of views and thoughts, there will be some...

    Let alone the significant reductions in insurance and international ferry or tunnel charges if the amazing machine is correctly registered.

    The damnable DVLA are at it again!!

    Yes but when an accredited matching numbers car is brought into the UK from, for instance Australia or South Africa, and the damnable DVLA refuse point blank to give it a date related reg. no., then it does raise the question as to why they are taking this stance? Personally I believe it is in...
