WOW - Ends soon if anyone has the time for this one www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114091540350

Sorry - I won the one on EBay so getting that, I think it probably hasn't had much use. If Sale falls through for any reason will get back to you and THANKS

Yes indeed, my solar panel works well but has almost nothing coming in at this time of year. Has a slight southern tilt but more to the East, when I do another Van I will make it so Solar panel can be moved and tilted from the roof. What you are saying about the new set-up sounds interesting...

:( Think he said that the Hill I lived on was steeper, or as steep as his, when he delivered the LEOCH!! (GROAN)(n) On the subject of replacement batteries I have seen this on EBAY which might be a good bet if it remains at under £45...

My set up is fairly simple, there is a Leisure battery (LB) in the back to Solar via Victron MPPT and isolated to Front LB via a simple switch. There is a VSR between the LB at Front and Front Engine Battery, the VSR operates at over 13.8V in both directions so if Solar power is sufficient to...

Sylvia cost me £3500 and I have spent probably IRO of 2500 on various things including Engine Maintenance, Brake Maintenance, New Water Pump, new leads, solar and LPG for fuel and habitation. So hopefully I will get approaching £6K back when I sell her. Issue for me will be time soon and also...

As my good friend Peter (Peter51 on the other sites) said, when he started the whole motor-homing thing, the first Van you get is unlikely to fit your needs if you have never done the camper van thing before. I think this is true and may start a thread on this question in another group. After...

Thanks Phil, spoke to the owner today and he said he used to run the Truck in Europe, 5000 mile trips and got between 22 and 25 MPG - guess with Diesel the price it is then it would make the Vehicle pretty expensive to drive. However, chap who owned it said he had some people coming to View this...

Have done that just now via the messaging system here and do you know anywhere reputable for cheap recon LB please? (Or anyone else) Thanks Robert

Thanks David, shame it is so far away, nevertheless I have emailed him again. I was hoping he could meet me halfway or something but sadly he can no longer drive the Vehicle due to his Class C being removed by DVLA for medical reasons. Will see what happens. On another note I sent you £20 via...

Hiya Phil, Thanks for all the information. What do you think of this one? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorhome-Leyland-daf-1991/352946215281 ?? Robert

Hiya Phil A galvanised body would be great. I am not sure what vehicles have Galvanised bodies though, do you know? I will tell the folk selling that an experienced builder (not to mention your name) has suggested £1500 tops for it. Thanks fo the feedback - I really like this one on EBay but...

My son said the same but I doubt if leaving Victron Units and a good AGM Leisure Battery will improve the sale price by as much as I paid for all the kit, from memory about £400. I want to keep the VIctron Kit and might sell the MPPT controller on EBay I have and then reinvest in a BT enabled...

Sylvia the Talbot will soon be for sale on Various Places - FB Marketplace and potentially EBAY So thought I would chuck something up here first if anyone is interested or knows anyone that might be. Good Points Bad Points Solar Panel 285 W with Additional Leisure battery (2 LB in Total)...

Good luck with the build @linkshouse - Would like to look at building something myself but sadly living in a wet Yorkshire valley with the Van parked on a 30 Degree slope outside the house, sideways slope at that, which makes working on Sylvia hard and would make a build super hard. Need...

So I had a look at the Iveco and seemed solid and engine sounded good but sadly the inside was poorly designed, leisure battery and electrics in a state. So she would make a good base vehicle for someone but would need some modifications, personally I would do a full redesign as not a great...

Thanks for that Phil, will get the hammer out and the Leatherman Plus the work LIght !!

OK seems like that would work - will take it off your hands if you like ?
