    Well I’ve gone & bought our next van.. although it’s not a van yet!

    Stainless corrodes steel! Placing a layer of duct tape in the interface will help. Also using pu mastic in the joint will help.

    Well I’ve gone & bought our next van.. although it’s not a van yet!

    What ever you do I think you will end up with it being PHGV. As it was originally type approved that way. With my coaches I've never bothered. The LHE Merc is sold now, but I still have the Cheetah under conversion. It's insured as a Motorhome even now, but not allowed on the road until it is...

    The damnable DVLA are at it again!!

    In the hands of the DVLA, lets hope I get my age related plate. Engine not run or even the lights checked! All that effort for no reason, I could have done it at my leisure. Wouldn't take it on the road until it's finished and then the first trip would be to MOT it. Yes I know, but that's the...

    The damnable DVLA are at it again!!

    I'm having a 1943 BSA M20 inspected next week and they insist that it must be running. Many classic bikes have no internals as they will never be ridden again just in case they go bang! Mark

    Sticky solar panel

    I just replaced some flexible panels held on by double sided butyl tape. To say it was hell to remove them would be an understatement. Less tape used for the replacements. Mark

    Calor gas insanity

    When your doing a liquid exchange it's not easily possible to overfill. Pumping the liquid in is another story. Never empty the cylinder of all gas, or you might introduce air into the cylinder. The existing gas in the cylinder will act as a buffer to stop over filling. Remember to purge the...

    280ah lithium battery only showing 273.4ah?

    BMS's take guess, it's not like someone physically counts the coulombs. Sometimes people expect too much. Mark

    I’ve sold our VARIO …… & now looking for another vehicle.

    I looked at the Fuso Rosa (small coach) and in Japan they are were really cheap for a couple of years old. Sadly not imported into the uk. If I had the pennies I'd just buy a new chassis cab. A hybrid from the Netherlands where the spec. would be better for European driving. Mark

    New battery tech?

    Sounds good, but it's not new technology. Just higher density of energy. The good thing is it might reduce the price of current lithium designs. Mark

    I’ve sold our VARIO …… & now looking for another vehicle.

    Thanks Darren, I need to get rid of Murky. We are running out of space so it has to go, but where to advertise it?
