Do you find the size limits the amount of Aires that you can park up In? Or do you tend to wild camp while on the continent. Phil

You would have to have Bezos money to afford one Trev 😄

A couple of weeks ago I foolishly said I'd fit one of these chinese diesel heaters into my sister in laws new to her Vito van, I looked on ebay and found a complete kit for the Princely sum of £79 having never fitted one or seen one come to that I had some trepidation in ordering it. It arrived...

As I said I will be the first to congratulate you Dave and say I knew of that bloke. BUT if it's broke why have I not suffered over the last 30years of all these woes that you say are happening plus the fact that we in normal times travel the continent from France through to Greece and all...

I'm a great believer in innovation Dave, I love new ways to do things that improve one's life. But and there is always a but, I am also a believer in "If its not broke, don't try and fix it". I can see that if you want to self build the latest all electrically run top of the range...

I went back and re read your original post Dave don't think I mis understood what you were asking. But I think I understand this correctly 👌 "But am I just convincing myself of this? thoughts please?"

I can't help but feel Dave that you asked for market research into an idea you have in your mind, you have asked a dedicated lot of self builders and answers that you have had do not seem to fit with your vision, or that we don't understand what your attempting. The trouble is that unless you...

(If they can't work that out, they shouldn't be converting a van.) Precisely Dave, they will still sit and scratch their heads and come onto sites like this and ask questions, not a bad thing to do if you have no idea. As for the radio colour coding for fitted radios, vehicle manufacturers...

True, but radios have been standardised for inclusion in many makes of vehicle and so vehicle manufacturers over the last ten years or so have had to change their looms to suit but as for the rest of the loom they have gone as they please. As Squirrell has mentioned the only way really is to...

Agreed Dave, but trouble is that the wiring colours of various appliances vary considerably I.e. Pos could be Red, Red+Black, Brown,Grey,Grey+white or any other combination of colour depending on who produced it. Then you have the neg colours not to mention signal colours of electronic items...

The Sargents modular consumer units are as about plug and play as you can get I feel. The problem is that what ever you have or do you will require at least a modicum of electrical skill coloured wire and specific plug and socket shapes would go along way but you will still have the connecting...

We are at present at the Malvern Weston three counties caravan and motorhome show and as Phil has said the price of secondhand motorhomes is scandalous, my sister in law wants to trade up from her Mercedes Vito but the prices are eye watering for what you get, in theory my van with all the...

There is always a way Sprinter, nothing in a conversion in my opinion is crash proof in any case, only variations of, if you have a sudden stop at anything over 25 miles an hour very little is going to stop movement of heavy items. I would say that it might be possible to fit heavy duty L...

Thanks Dave very informative 👍

As a matter of interest Dave as my sister in law has bought a Mercedes Vito, that has a Domestic fridge fitted run off an inverter that simply kills the liesure battery in hours even when the fridge is set at lowest temperature and has a very efficient 100watt solar panel. What domestic fridge...

Sorry mate, just that sprinter was asking how to fit (his) fridge and it was obvious to those that know that there are blanking plugs over screw holes. But yes others might indeed be fitting domestic fridges. Phil 🙃 P.s. The way you have fitted your domestic fridge of course could be used to...

True Dave but in his photos it clearly shows the blanking caps over the fitting holes. Phil

Usually the fridge would sit in between two cupboards or at least between two upright dividers, then screwed through the two plastic bungs (Once removed) on each side of the fridge, you can see these bungs when the door is fully open on each side top and bottom. Phil This is my set up you can...

Never say that In front of a Welsh man 😁

Just out of interest I googled the average price for auto lpg per ltr. https://motorway.co.uk/sell-my-car/guides/lpg-cars https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/United-Kingdom/lpg_prices/
