I'm too nervous to mount x2 jerry cans on fibreglass, I've bottle it! So my spare wheel is underslung, I can use that space for the 2 cans but it means mounting the spare on the bull bars. Will look horrible imo but that's where am at. Is it as simple as getting a metal plate welded to the bull...

Hate to be boring but if you can hold off for 12 months I would recommend doing that. Camper self build is so popular I think you will pay premium price on a van base vehicle and all materials required for the build. Less boring option; you've put aside 10k for the conversion so your planning...

I got to ask.......why, there are a few pretty obvious disadvantages to this base vehicle so what is the attraction? 'Just cos I want to' is a perfectly good enough reason, just interested

An example of why simple sites are important, not very user friendly for the OP. I suspect good advice is there but it is hard to decipher https://www.facebook.com/groups/sbcampervans/permalink/2069927369829658/?sfnsn=scwspmo

Absolutely, the self build FB group I visit has 294, 000 members, obviously many are inactive but when you consider that its just one group of many on FB it's an indication of how massively popular self build is presently, any sites that promote safe installs can only be beneficial...

What are your concerns about supplying 'know nothing' clients? Yes, advise pro install but many can't afford it and they will do it themselves wherever they get their advice which could include FB, at least you can be confident your advice is safe. After further consideration maybe consider...

Your last point is unfortunately incorrect. I am on a FB camper builder site and I assure the knowlege/skill level of some builders is worrying. They want the end result and finacially can only afford to do it themselves so yes, people are picking up screwdrivers for first time. Fortunately for...

I like your website but maybe consider a click tab labelled 'understanding the basics'. A diagram showing a very simple set up where you can click on a component and it takes you to a layman's description of what it is/does. I do mean every component as well, even what a fuse is and why it's...

As someone that fits your novice description I would choose option 1. I think being able to supply a kit is a good idea. A basic PV set up is quite simple when brocken down in stages but for some reason the project as a whole is quite intimidating. The internet is bursting at the seams with PV...

Install new shower and walls, PV system, water tank and mounting jerry cans. I'm a fair weather worker and living in the Pennines not much has been done for months!

Just a bit of cheering from the sideline to keep the moral up. Its superb work and very interesting watching it develop

I can't PM you, maybe because you're a free member that option is not available

Street sleeper, Too tired to digest now but thank you very for sharing. It is appreciated Guy

I have roof bars on my moho situated in an ideal part of the roof and their length/spacing would allow for a 180 possible 200W panel, so good start, but surprisingly youtube is lacking on videos of attaching panels to bars, mine are round. Has anyone done this, I'm trying to avoid the extra...

Any concerns with the design?

I wonder if you could set the switch up in such a way that these also secure the van against theft

You could also make the drain pipe look cool using can sleeves...not at that price though but you get the idea. Actually I think modern can sleeves could look visually just as nice. Wet weekend project (y) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Replica-Cans-reproduction-display-vintage/dp/B07YN6496K

You could set it up with no little access doors except at the bottom and then every tinned meal would become a pot luck surprise!!

Please let us know if you end up having to do pasta filled cushions :LOL:

Truthfully I would bite the bullet, food being dotted around your van and in the outside locker is going to get on your nerves. Use the winter to get that tank in the locker as sometimes you wont even have to take it out to fill it which will be nice. You can get a bespoke tank made. If you are...
