Bit of a mouthful Phil, 😁

🤣

Good for me, doesn't matter what the name is really but if it does promote further interest then go for it. Phil 😁

Well done Pudsey 😁👌. Phil

At only 120w Pudsey if it was me I'd just try it out and see how long the battery lasts as 120w would be the max wattage during use on it's highest setting. Certainly in my view a 300watt inverter would be more than sufficient. The best test is to try it suck it and see. Phil.

Morning all, after our trip down to the South of France recently we lost our satellite signal about half way down, not the end of the world but really annoying as we lost not only Sky, freesat but also the radio stations, luckily we had arranged Smarty sims for our phones before we left so could...

Have to admit Squirrell we went the easy way and payed an installer to fit ours 6kw yes it cost us £8.5k but since Feb when they came on line it has more than halved our leccy bill and we've sold enough back to the grid to more than pay the standing charge, our supplier doesn't except monthly...

As some might be aware I'm touring France at the moment actually in South of France now. Although the gas We set off with is still plenty and will probably last us till we get home, started with about 16ltrs and have only used about a quarter of that in two weeks so far, its absolutely...

I always try to log in every so often Dowel, it's good to keep an ear to the ground 😁.Phil

Sorry Dowel Sorry I'm in Biarritz France at the mo and been on the beach enjoying the waves 😁. You can get various sized tiled edging I use an edge that is just greater than the depth of the stretch carpet, I use evostick contact adhesive to glue it to the metalwork of the doors or where ever...

For having a cup of tea or putting my glasses and phone on etc at night and in the morning, I've made these mods for me and the wife when the day beds are made up to double bed we deploy the shelves then during the day when it's seating we put the shelves into the down positions so that the...

Just looking through some of the builds Phil, I still think you've done a cracking job on Millie 👌👍.Phil

I'd have thought any innovations Dave. Phil

Yes a few. These are Sis in laws van blinds. On mine I just did the back two windows but on my sons we did both rears and he got fed up doing them for his side windows and ended up with swinging blinds when motoring 😆. On the Sis in laws I did both rear doors, both rear sides and both fronts...

One innovation that I have used now on three vans is Ikia eco blinds with a home made cassette, not only are they cheap to buy but also come in varying colours and sizes. The actual cassette can be a bit tricky and time consuming but I feel that the end result is good not only aesthetically but...

A lot depends on if you get it classed by DVLA as a Motor Caravan, this will then make it somewhat easier to get it insured with an agreed value. However because insurance companies are aware of the DVLA's awkward stance on self builds, many of them will now insure your vehicle at an "Agreed...

Looks great, nice finish 👏. Phil

Hi ya jonnyboy, No actually it took about the same time 6.5 months nearly full time work. To do it properly I have to say it takes time, but of course if you are going to build the same design exactly each time I can see that it could become a lot faster using the same templates etc. As for my...

I used van pimps, they were the cheapest and very fast on delivery. I have not seen anything that would suggest that their windows are substandard, infact they all seemed very good quality. Phil P.s. These are the windows that I fitted to my sis in laws van, as in my posts on building it on...

Yes I see what you mean Kev, I actually did zoom in on it late last night and was going to say this morning that it was a home built, but got busy readying the van for leaving dinner time for Margam Park Rally and forgot about posting. Phil
