    DVSA checks

    I have always been yes sir, no sir when pulled on the bike, paid dividends over the years and has got me off many speeding fines and kept license clean. Got a highest reading of 118, second of 98mph stated as ‘in excess of 70mph’ in one car by being polite and reasonable. Never seen the point of...

    An amazing work top

    I can’t decide between marble or granite lol That does look nice though but I wouldn’t want the weight in a van, would sooner carry extra water and food myself

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    Can you buy a better quality fan, will the Eberspacher ones fit? Is still going to be cheaper swapping fan and glo plug

    Do you carry a scooter or motorbike in your garage?

    I have had 3 mots since buying my van and never once had any info on weight or been advised of any weight issues. Is this data supposed to be shown on anything the owner gets?

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    I ‘think’ that’s a fair bit worse than my DT4 Rae but mine runs off main diesel tank so not as easy for accuracy. I seem to think mine averages around 0.1ltr per hour but would have to search all my posts to see what it did last check. Not got to much use yet but may be able to see soon as back...

    Seating and Sleeping setup (MH2) - complete - Regal Upholstery

    My insurance company asked me how many belted seats, when I said 2 that’s what they covered it as. Suited me at the time as I didn’t want to take anyone else with us lol I can probably get it changed to more with a different insurance company

    Seating and Sleeping setup (MH2) - complete - Regal Upholstery

    I seem to recall the registration year was important for side facing seats, not allowed after a certain dat or not allowed to be used as travel seats after a certain date. If I am remembering right I think it was either 2007 or 2012. That didn’t mean you couldn’t be charged with anything though...

    Internal vs External Storage

    Originally my batteries were located in an outside locker but a previous owner moved them inside under one of the sofas. This suits me even more now I have Lifepo4 as very unlikely to get cold temperature problems. I have lots of outside lockers but that of course means I have to fill them, you...

    Seating and Sleeping setup (MH2) - complete - Regal Upholstery

    Well I don’t think it matters a jot, if someone wants to build their van their way that’s great. Long live different ideas, let’s not jump on someone for doing something different. If it’s an obvious danger being overlooked then yes but otherwise let’s just chose to agree or disagree, don’t...

    Wanted: Internal TV Aerial Mast

    I carried it around for soo long before it went though, as is always the case I suppose. I was thinking folks would want the aerial part more than the pole though :(

    Jerry can holder

    Fibreglass is very strong, it’s not like an Ali shell that will fracture with flex/vibration.

    Water tank, anyone used this company?

    I drink tank water no problem, mainly in hot drinks but I also dilute cordial. My van is in constant use though so water is never really standing. I do drink from 5,tr bottle I refill and 25ltre plastic drums but that’s to extend the time I can go before refilling Do what makes you happy, after...

    Jerry can holder

    Does your van have any low external side lockers? I carry 4 x 5litre plastic cans in mine for petrol or diesel. During the lockdown I used one of my 25litre water drums for diesel, Caz would fill it when she filled the car, kept diesel heater running without moving the van.

    240V vs 12V lighting - Discuss!

    I think that a lot of the 240v kit being fitted was because most buyers only use camp sites/ehu in caravans and motorhomes. Easier (and cheaper I guess) to cross over with parts. Foreign makers probably had a lot more buyers off grid so did more with 12v. This isn’t very scientific though just...
