There does appear to be some progress with new types of batteries, to some extent we’re waiting for technology to catch up, which it will. I did read that a large amount of vehicles don’t actually travel that far, going to work and around town. For these users current (no pun intended) battery...

You’re right, though the next generation of builders might not have the option!

Hi and welcome. Is the van you’re buying a home built or a professionally built? Perhaps put up a photo or two? Basically a cab Star is a small truck with I guess a coach built body. So you’ve got a strong base vehicle. Being 1990 it’s a fairly old vehicle, so take that into account (does it...

Hi and welcome to the forum.

£8952? I can’t count that high....

Nice job, you must be chuffed!

Looks like you’re making good progress, looking good!

To appease myself I’ve made a definitive list of materials and...

A quick update. Due to the continuous liquid sunshine I’ve not got much done. Cooker and gas pipe fitted along with sorting the wiring for the bedroom speakers. Some electrical circuits tested, Battery breather pipes fitted. That’s about the lot. More to follow soon, hopefully!

The load needs to be spread at the mounting points, I would imagine you’d need some large metal of wood plates on the inside of the fibreglass. Reckoning the fuel at roughly 1litre=1kg plus the weight of the can and holder. Then partially full the contents will be mobile and sloshing about...

Buy what you really want. If this year has taught us anything, it is that there’s an added fragility to our existence and it’s no time to sell yourself short or procrastinate. These are brave words from me, never eager to let too much escape my wallet...
