Yes I intend to bond aluminium panels to the body to replace the windows, the hard bit will be a colour match so they look like windows. I want to try to avoid changing the overall look. Tempting idea to double glass the existing windows, we have vacuum pumps and argon at work so could...

You were as good at making friends as me lol.

I am seriously impressed with the functionality of the multiplus on paper, but it's that eggs thing. At least with stand alone devices you may be able to mix and match in the event of trouble. That said, for those that are unable or willing to fiddle with stuff it might be a better answer to...

Not wanting to be a killjoy, but taking out the TV is something I don't regret. I expect I might feel different if I was away as long as some of you. Mark

Still digging away to expose "Betty's" horrors. We knew Plaxton had cut away Cab structure with no attempt to marry ends or reinforce edges. Washing under the front nearside wheel arch resulted in rivers running across the internal floor, so we knew work had to be done in that area. Finally...

Robert, how much else are you running in Sylvia whilst your batteries are charging? Mark

The down side of all of these products is that it takes a long time to see how well they work. We use a dewatering fluid at work to preserve parts we make. Strangle the part has to be dry for it to work well, it leaves a waxy residue on the part. Even after that they are further protected by...

Steam cleaning a vehicle can be a serious mistake, your better off with a cold wash and using a mild detergent. Maybe Dinitrol products are better, but I tend to stick with what I know. Sometimes it takes a long time to discover the mistakes you've made. Another fear would be how well a...

Going mad with the wax oil would be the first job if I got one.

I just wish the range of newer vans had shorter noses.

I've been a radio ham (GW0MOQ class A)since the early 1990s Hello Nick, I was G1CTR before I was brave enough to go out side ;) Mark

I'm still tickled over many people worrying over section D.5 Body type. It's either a Panel Van or a Coach Built Vehicle regardless of it's use. Personally I don't want a taxation class as any kind of goods vehicle. Namely class N1, N2, or N3 Over 3.5 tonnes the Private Goods Vehicle rules...

I must admit that I've looked briefly at those Venus GX units, but remembering the price forced myself to look away. I do admire your skills with these toys, but the fear of a problem whilst stuck in the wilds keeps me simple. I just rely on the solar to hold everything up even if I've...

Sorry, so used to having BVM712 I forgot it's not part of it. With the BVM state of charge I'm not convinced it's real world numbers, but it give you a feel of what you have. I played for a while "how low can you go" just to see if the claimed capacity was as I'd calculated based on loading...

Hello Robert, I too was confused with the Victron 100/30. I guess with a new toy you can over watch it. I was frustrated by the fact sometimes the absorption time was very short and did not reach 100% before going into float. Due to sub optimum weather conditions and a high battery demand there...

We don't use a fridge with an ice box, for the amount of time we are away from shops the extra space is better for us. Mind you, I do get told of if I've got it too cold and start to freeze things. Since fitting cooling fans in the fridge cooling vent our on times do seem shorter. Mark

Point I was trying to make was the difference in standards. But also it's handy as a guide as to the loading a seat is subjected to if something goes badly wrong.

If you have some time on your hands this might be entertaining. I wonder how many if any commercially built motorhomes comply with this? If https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/210809/changes-to-seatbelt-installations-guide.pdf Mark

Fitted an indicator to our new build "Betty" Slow going undoing the low quality work done by previous mechanics. Hoping to get stuck in to the proper conversion soon. Mark

Just for fun may be? Trying to find DVLA rules has not gone well, though on my search I came across the CPC rules. So if you use your PHGV motorhome to carry goodies to a car boot sale you will need a CPC license as you are transporting goods to be sold. If this is the case your motorhome is now...
