    Rear Door

    i see it as a fit yourself job -it's only chopping a hole in your prized posession ! but it's not too difficult really some hatches are designed to pop up a couple of inches only,for light and air. others open fully and can be used for escape. most come in 2 pieces,an inner and an outer that...

    Webasto airtop

    when it was acting up a bit,i fitted a Morco heater ,same as but a lot lower than,a Truma . this also gets the van up to 25 degrees but not quite as quick. if anyone is looking for a cheap and reasonably efficient heating,then a carver ,morco or truma floor vented heater is well worth getting...

    self build pre-build ideas

    any household tap will do the job,there's cheap ones on e bay when you do the sink,if you have the tools,put a rebated hole of the required size in a bit of ply and you can then hammer a depression in the bottom of the bowl so the waste doesn't sit proud. or if you're careful you can bend the...
