    Strangest things you find on't net

    We stayed again at Glencaple last night, had dinner in the hotel, and had a terrible nights sleep as it was blowing a gale and four of the five vans were VW camper, and they all seemed to be trying to out do each other making the most noise with their side doors. Anyway, we've stayed there...

    TV self build

    We watched one of the Millionaire Motorhome programs we recorded a little while ago, this bloke had a "self Build" £12k on the electrics, he had two or three 400ah lithium batteries, 3 x 100w panels and a controller that was pretty rubbish but looked like Vicron, a two burner induction hob and...

    Fuses

    Always confuse me. The ciggy socket I fitted yesterday is needing a fuse I think although the thing I used didn't have on in line as I assume it depended on the vehicle providing the fusing, I just cut the plug off and put ring terminals on, it's only for a USB plug so I assume a 5a fuse will...

    At last

    I just spent a bit of time in the van, I hard wired a 12v socket extension from my side to Lizs side so she can charge her phone/tablet without it being a trip hazard, and I hard wired in the 300 Belkin inverter in the lounge so I can plug in the electric blanket, not done much van playing for...

    Electric blanket when wild camping

    I have nerve damage which makes my left leg feel like ice when it's cold, and due to the current (sorry) energy cost I invested in a electric throw, it arrived yesterday and it seems to work really well I was actually over warm last night in the lounge, I don't need it on the bed as I have a...

    What innovations did you design into your van?

    I'm sure you all had interesting ideas, maybe time to share them, pictures would help.

    I've sold it twice but never shown it on here

    It took me a long time to build it even though I had the time, but I only wanted to do it once. In no particular order :) :) some of these pictures are just after I'd bought it back and it was in a right mess. I've annotated some of them by way of explanation. More tomorrow.

    Inverter help needed

    I have had to buy a mobility scooter for me to use with the van and need to charge it when driving, I have a new 300w pure sine wave inverter that plugs into the dash socket, but I don't think this will do for this charger. So I need to know what would be the quickest way to sort this problem...

    I'm not on here much but I noticed my name wasn't below my posts even though I thought I opted to have it. I did click save, have I not done it right?

    Brand new 2 x 11kg Gasit kit for sale

    The kit is unused, it's a brand new twin11kg setup with all you need to fit a kit except the filling point, I bought it for the Bessacarr but we have decided to sell it and the new van already has refillable, I don't want to take a big hit as it has never been used so plenty of date left on it...

    Bad Obsession

    Bad obsession is a YouTube video of two blokes building a race 4x4 in an original mini body using Toyota parts and well worth a watch if you are into things mechanical, anyhow they have just bought a library bus to provide race transport and have somewhere to stay, if it is anything like as well...

    Old DIY & SBMCC members

    I was just wondering how many of you have made it to this new home? As some of you will know, as does Phil (the boss) that I simultaneously started a new DIY forum to give you guys a home not knowing Phil was doing likewise, Phils is a proper forum of course as he's got the tech and the ability...
