I oh so agree with you Trev., for my sins, every single day I share a link to this site on at least 1 FaceBook self building groups and quite often on several as Chris the former member edina knows only too well.

@ Admin, you might have seen SquirrelCook putting up a comment on his "Violating a Princess" post, where he suggests that his large bus conversion is most definitely a Motorhome and definitely not a van. As this is the case and as there are one hell of a lot of people converting similar types...

It surely is one of those between a rock and a hard place decisions for you to make Phil. Personally speaking, I don't actually like your proposed new name and by the same token I never really liked Motorhome Builder, but of the two and as this group is known by that name, then in some ways I...

This may or may not be of interest to you. I fitted a Propex blown air heating system to my van which has one vent inside the shower/loo cubicle. No-one dislikes the smells associated with these confined spaces as much as I do, we also dislike the dampness of them after having had a shower...

Thank you so much Phil. And this is quite pertinent photograph to highlight, or more importantly the Safefill cupboard or rather the refillable gas cylinder inside it. I wrote to Safefill just the other day to enquire when a check needed to be done on the safety of the cylinder to which I...

Oh so very sadly,time and time again and ever again I read various YouTube, supposedly knowledge kings who are quite frankly talking out of their assienders and time and time again I forever keep suggesting that members of some of these highly suspect YouTube groups ought to join a highly...

As Phil says this chore becomes a great deal easier if your van becomes registered with the DVLA and you are able to obtain an agreed valuation. If you haven't done so already, it might be worth your time preparing a detailed list of your expenditure, listing individual items etc. I prepared...

I couldn't agree with you more. I built my L3 H2 Master to a lightweight construction method, the result of which is that even when fully loaded, along with the dogs and both my most beloved and myself, we still have an amazing 750kg load margin according to the weighbridge.

I only made my suggestion when I read that you had got rid of the overhead storage area in the cab where in my Renault Master (medium roof) I made it into a proper storage lidded area where I can store all our walking coats 6 in total, all the dog coats 4 in total, a king size throw over fleace...

Over my many, many years of chatting to motorhome and campervan owners, almost every one of them clearly said that the major problem they had with their van was the lack of storage space. So the smaller the van then the need for as much storage space as possible will normally become ever more...

So bloody true, but there again that's the mindset of some of these FB people so many of whom have attidues to life and road safety that beggar belief!!

Patently there has to remain some kind of rigorous testing of all vehicles. Having lived over there for 10 years, personally I believe the French Control Technique tests are better as they can only be carried out by certified independant establishments that have absolutely no links/connection to...

All very interesting and valuable responses. Quite amazingly on this FB group the overall feeling is basically what chance is there of getting caught!

On one of the self builld FaceBook groups, someone has just (proudly) posted this photograph of the spare wheel mount on the back door of his Renault Master. Apart from the fact that I don't like to see wheels mounted in the exposed open air without full covers, I am forced to ask does the...

FINGERS CROSSED

Rise Sir Squiffy, you have done a truly amazing and totally loving build, how truly lucky your sister in law is. Many, many thanks Phil, I have enjoyed every single second of your efforts. Phil

Brilliant job Phil, as can only be expected when it comes to your skills. As for Magnums, they are truly amazing, very good/excellent prices, very knowledgeable staff and fantastic delivery times using arguably the best couriers, namely DPD. I have just bought a Propex water heater from them...

And also slightly too large, but thanks for the thought. Phil

As an update and after close inspection, I came to the conclusion that the tank was absolutely buggered, so I have now ordered a 6ltr. Propex 240v tank to replace it with, purchased from Magnums for just £151 along with free delivery. As there is the usual venting hole from the Henry heater and...
