    Tools borrow or buy

    I have some overpriced RS crimps that work bought me years ago, they have removable jaws/die, never thought about it before. If I ever get stuff out of storage I will have to investigate. Have a few tools for computer/network cables that I may be able to repurpose 👍

    Callipers - Cheap or Not ?

    I have had my vernier callipers years and aren’t digital. Not sure if you could buy digital ones when I got them. I started with verniers and micrometers back in 1968 though lol

    It sounds like this is a full member but because they have used a different name it hasn’t picked it up. @Sprinter 1 cup if you see Chris’s post earlier you need to change username to be same as other forums and he can sort 👍

    Open plan shower

    Have a look at Adria Twin vans, they extend into the walkway through when using the shower so similar idea. Also, see if you can find any pics of a CPT Sea or Sea cpt maybe. They were a purpose built motorhome for disabled and have a wet room extending from passenger side across 3/4 of the...

    Chinese android sat/Nav radios for Fiat/Renault and Peugeot vans

    A tip I remember from many years ago when I used to mod cars was always ha g on to old credit/debit/store/club type cards. They are ideal to use for removing bits of dash, fairly flexible but strong. I recently used them when removing dash switches 👍

    Pre-built units

    Cheers Nigel, I thought it looked okay but nice to know you do as well👍 Shane probably could make it okay but time, family and health means he probably wouldn’t anytime soon 👍

    Pre-built units

    It’s for the family car Nigel, Shane would put them in when he wants a break then take them out when he needs the seats back in. I thought the price looked good considering some stuff I have seen l

    Chinese android sat/Nav radios for Fiat/Renault and Peugeot vans

    Maybe a good job I didn’t get the one I was looking at as it was under £50, I knew it would be a gamble but was cheap enough to give it a try. I think it was delivery time that sealed it fate as I knew I would be moving around so needed it in under a week. If I hadn’t already got the dedicated...

    Low melt solder waterproof butt joint connector

    Think I have used at least half a dozen now Phil and all the ones inside worked well but they were easy access. The issues were when I added a pair of marker lights towards the back and tapped into the rear light wiring. It was early February and windy and cold. I think it was just my little...

    Low melt solder waterproof butt joint connector

    Not sure on exact brand but I have used them and think they are great. Solder bit in centreandadhesive on either end so it glues the cable plastic as well as soldering the wires. I have used a small gas soldering iron and it can be a bit awkward getting temperature in the cold/wind/rain with...

    Chinese android sat/Nav radios for Fiat/Renault and Peugeot vans

    Yeah that’s definitely not right. Odd times I have had to pay a bit extra to Customs before they would release but even that is rare.

    AC Fridge In Campervan -.Power Consumption Test

    Buying 230v fridge is definitely cheaper but you need power system to cope and inverter. If you already have suitable power source then yes it’s cheap option.
