Talking of plugging in and shore power about 5 years ago we went on the Romantic route through Germany then on through Switzerland and France with my brother and his wife and Sister and her husband they had a Hymer each and we went in our Conversion, my sister and her husband were insistent on...

Can't really add to that, it's all been said 👌. Phil

Well well, after reading that I have to change my view of your posts and future posts, it seems to me that you have decided it's your way or no way, hey ho it also would seem that you are using the site for possible commercial gain which is not the primary use or intention of sites such as...

I may have mentioned this before, my insurance is with Saga, Ha ha to those that say Saga is only for old folk. However when I was looking for an insurance company to insure my pride and joy Saga gave me the cheapest quote on a self built van based on £40.000 but insisted on an engineers report...

Quite honestly Squirrel I never sit upright on our couches, we have long day beds on both sides of the rear where we recline rather than sit, I feel that with most conversions there is really not enough width to allow for a sloping rear cushion as the space left behind would be wasted space...

Not negatively at all it's constructive views of other builders, nobody as far as I can see has criticised the actual build quality, infact most have said it was a good job. If you post pictures of your build and say the layout is not for some then you must expect those that agree its not for...

As you say not for everyone, well thought out for bed construction but to my mind it seriously hampers entry and exit unless you use the back doors, which if you are towing or have a tow ball bike rack on the back as we often do would not work. On occasions one of us will still be in bed while...

I believe that Ferry companies do not allow you to carry spare petrol cans and request that gas cylinders are turned off when the vehicle is being transported, this is a condition of them ferrying your vehicle. I have to say that I have always had a spare petrol can for the generator and have...

I believe that the idea of the wheels revolving on the track to be correct, that grease begets dust and grit and that although initially it quietens the action over time it will infact compound problems. Most modern wheels are made of nylon and have either a metal insert that revolves round a...

Wasn't aware we were discussing ten year + cars Trev, but yes anything of an average new purchase price being sold ten years on would be highly unlikely to have a full service history, though they are around. But if your paying a high price for a sort after exclusive vehicle it would be nice to...

I remember years ago one of my customers who had a Jaguar had a misfire intermittently, I traced it down to a spark plug in the 5th cylinder but did not have the correct grade plug so used one very close to the grade but different make to the rest, a couple of months later he came back in with...

Come to that Phil, how could Mercedes prove that all aspects had not been carried out 😄. Anything like that is very subjective.Phil

The whole purpose of any motorhome builders site is to help and assist new builders and indeed experienced builders, if someone asks a question that has been asked many times before a more comprehensive and considered answer usually follows as the amount of people who have taken on that...

In which case Tookey you'll need more than a hand drill, probably at least a 10 ton trolly/bottle jack plus an array of spanners and sockets relevant to your van suspension, to include a versatile and sturdy ball joint splitter along with a Birmingham screw driver ( Big hammer) 😁 Phil.

Bloody hell, what do you guys do when your away, I've been motorhoming for near on 25 years and never had the need for a drill or jigsaw for that matter. I take a screw driver a couple of relevant size spanners and my handyman Swiss army knife, digital meter oh and a small hammer, anything that...

Cobolt in my view are a standard drill bit I have no argument with that but all this double point cutting bits that are almost impossible to reface properly are ali Ridculously priced and do no more than any standard drill does if correctly sharpened. Phil

It must be my age problem 🙄

I've always found that a correctly sharpened hardened steel drill bit did what I required, without paying copious amounts of money for a difficult to sharpened multipoint money pit 😄. Phil

😄😄 my thoughts exactly Phil but I did not want to seem inept 😆. Phil
