Personally would prefer a fixed bed as I loathe making beds every day if on the move. Looks good though, hope the build goes well and sorry to hear about the problems you have been facing @activecampers

I personally think some of the folk on here could do a better and more interesting timelapse video than this so called professional one: What do you think ?

THANKS FOR ALL THIS - Very helpful for new Merc

Your Vehicle :) (y)

Do you have an pictures anywhere so I can have a gander on this wet day, stuck in at Silly Billy's Toy Shop doing some social media nonsense, some EBAY Listings and creating a blog post about the weather !!

There is Gas yes, small bottle, Carver Water Heater (need to work it out), Decent cooker and Oven plus a Diesel Space Heater, cheap one, works OK but at the moment has separate diesel tank and wondering if it might be better using diesel direct from main tank. THEN AGAIN, having a separate tank...

You adventurous soul you !! I reckon the New Merc will have better Wildcamping abilities than Sylvia the Talisman

Ah well, the new Merc has only 270 AH of battery 3 x Bosch 90AH - Not the best set-up so will play with that for a while as it is better than what was in Sylvia as that was around 180 AH

Spot on, I agree with that statement. I guess though with the Calorifier idea it would be quite a big draw on any batteries and only really useful when getting the hot water via the engine coolant warmth heating the hot water and then it would stay hot for 24 hrs or so at a guess, then after...

Old fashioned windy handle job on mine

All very interesting @wildebus and @Nabsim THANKS I am toying with ideas at present as Van is still in it's infancy and some issues to tackle first anyway, not in any order: Slide Door not opening from inside, just found out this AM STILL smells of Dog Pre-heat light stays on whilst driving on dash

Hey, that's very kind. Thanks. Yes maybe that would be doable in a few weeks, currently wacking neutradol carpet cleaner (like shake n vac) on the carpets and trying to reduce the smell of dog(s). Have washed internal once and driving to missus later today for Valentine's day and to park Van...

I want to avoid having to drill holes in the roof and there are no roof bars. So for off-grid I think the best approach would be, as you say above, maybe get someone to weld a simple rack onto the Van, create a double array of glass panels, maybe 2 x 310W which are on a piece of angle and can be...

Thanks, I just got this one as no Tool Station close by.... Reviews seem OK When I use it do I have to change the coolant fluid afterwards ? So if I drive about in the Van for a week and then the Flush has done it's job is it then best to flush the coolant and re-fill ? (Not a motor mechanic BTW)

I have a couple of Solar panel questions @wildebus and others ? New van has a small Solar panel on her and a rather rubbish looking charge controller, with a Lamp plugged into the Streetlight port and for what purpose I have no idea. Pictures to follow. with little knowledge of the Solar Panel...

Oh right, sounds like a good idea, do you have any recommendations in Radiator Cleaner @SquirrellCook as never used it ?

Thanks @Edina - Good idea :)

Possibly the Window might have been slightly open !! RE. Door, when I was on motorway drive back I was honked by another Sprinter Driver (THANKS) overtaking me because the driver door was not closed properly, I knew that anyway due to excessive wind noise but couldn't open it on busy motorway...
