you've done a really outstanding job there,well done you !

first, yes it's ok to use self tappers in fibreglass, but it's not much of a fix compared to metal secondly,because of the cost of sikaflex, a lot of people are using 'Stixall' from Toolstation for fixing solar panels of course, you have to remember you're sticking to paint, so if that's not in...

and you can go faster !

all good points,and if you're being careful, caravan windows are a lot cheaper

i've got a little Morco floor vented heater installed in a cupboard,i just leave the door open or remove it when it's in use. it warms the van up as quickly as the 3.2kw Webasto i have in another cupboard i might be mental, but i'm warm !

the OP asked for a cheap option which a woodburner isn't . burner-£200-300 2 lengths flue £80 silicone flashing- £40 cowl if you can't make one -£40 metal for cladding £20 inner metal shield £15 labour ,at least £100 making your own is a cheaper option, gas bottle burner, bit of chimney liner...

Origo 5100 Heatpal as i was looking anyway !

this type of heater is great. some vent their exhaust fumes through the floor,others via the roof. they need a fairly big hole in the floor,with no obstructions Carver Caravelle 1800M caravan heater, bench tested and guaranteed (18001506) | eBay this is just an example so you know what to look...

nice neat job mate ! like the loo walls too,what is the covering ? good example for others who may not think they're capable of doing a van pat yourself on the back !

if the doors are hydraulic or electric,what happens if you try to open them with the bolt closed ?

i have one of these fitted to a wall, voltage at a glance 10-16V DC Panel Voltmeter for 12V systems - Volt Meter Analogue Analog NEW | eBay

it´s not even about the heat really,the flue at 1.5-2 metres height isn´t red hot or anywhere near,but there´s a fair bit of movement. before these silicone flashings came along, we used a flashing made from a bit of bigger tube soldered through a square plate, the flue went though this,then a...

again,ideal for the join between flue and stove,and where any components of a cast iron stove are bolted together,but IMO, no use at all for going through the roof and getting a leak proof seal that will stand up to thousands of miles of vibration etc. if only it was that easy

possibly,but these sealants are all expecting stoves and walls and ceilings to keep still,maybe allowing a little for expansion, so all the ones i´ve seen used.(not that i´ve seen them all of course ) tend to break up after a while, this lets rain in -not good. The OP gave me the impression that...

there´s no sealant i know of which will do that job. we use these DEKTITE CORRUGATED flat and pitch roof Flashing for STOVE PIPE FLUES | eBay the hole you cut in the rubber is a tight fit on the flue pipe and keeps the weather out

i rarely use mine, but i always use the wall-mounts. any sudden gust of wind can flip them, and they're a writeoff if the corner joints snap. i'd rather use the wall mounts than stake the legs to the ground

i recently had to break into a locked one on an old caravan. a steel one might have been easier, as the plastic kept bending instead of being forced open . your cassette is pretty safe i reckon !

Touring caravan repairs, servicing, new and used spare parts and breakerage services from Brookside Caravans good find !

i put some on not sure if you saw them before, the Scania is the biggest i've done, apart from a couple of double deckers, which i hated working on

i don't know why ,but i never took any 'before' pics. seemed a bit pointless, just an empty van ,after all! but i must admit,there's a few i did that were already fitted out,but so badly, that i ripped the lot out and started with an empty van anyway. also, i never took many pics ,never thought...
