    Charging system for a minimal camper?

    I would have fitted led carbon batts, pos 2 for sure, but remember it takes twice as long to charge them, but the l carbon does not suffer sitting at a lower charge than standard or agm batts, solar is for sure a good upgrade but only good from spring to aut.

    Proper etch is 2 pack and almost clear with a slight yellow tinge,top coat should be 2 pack polyurethan, can be rolled or sprayed with a gravity gun, 40psi and about 14 cfm compressor, many folk years back used coach paints, mine could do with a repaint sometime soon.

    Always put a few extra wires in to different places as almost always you will require an add on for something down the line.

    Most epoxy resins if it is dont work under 6c, best leave a floor to hotter weather to make sure timber is dry.

    Waste of time using single pack red oxide, best to clean back to white metal and use a zink rich 2 pack epoxy.

    Serco Prison Van - any other owners on here?

    Best plan is to strip all out and start fresh before a rebuild to camper.

    Starting a new build- Need insulation, for noise and heat.

    Floor ply is best coated in fibre glass both sides and edges, resin board is much better. Do remember to have all wiring runs sorted and in place at the start, think solar is a must.

    Few pics of my Iveco bus

    Yes for biz, but they are now clamping down on homes here and there, once one or two get caught burning non defra approved wood the word will get out and frighten others, yet my builders merchant still sell bags of cutting but under the counter if you get my drift. ;)

    old engine oil

    Take it you use 2 packs, i do remember the old days of cellulose in the car trade, all my work was industrial but we did do m cycle frames and fireplaces, 10 thu with one wet coat, did you ever use an airless with 3000psi at the tip, very dangerous in the wrong hands.
