Is it one of the type that draw combustion air from in the van? Can you change so it opens to outside rather than into the van?

I could do with a whistle on mine :) then again my main water heater is a 2.7 turbo diesel lol

I have tried all sorts so far, I am good with my solar about half the year so long as weather is good, I am also good all year if I keep moving with my B2B. I did end up having to get a generator as well to stay off grid though. I have a stand alone 1kw Hyundai that is fairly quiet and very good...

Yes sorry, I missed the electric bit for the wheelchair, that makes a big difference. Not sure if you have considered how you are going to keep that charged up when off grid but that could be costly. Lots of sun solar works well but that’s viable barely 6 months of the year in UK for moderate...

Can you fit fold up/down single bunk beds to one side? Do you have to have it as a WAV or would one of the seat conversions that ket you enter from a wheelchair do the job? All depends on mobility once inside really but that would allow more options if practical

Been real happy with our Waeco Trev, all through this years hot spell seen lots of posts with problems on 3 ways but only problem we have had is when Caz turns dial up and freezes everything

CVT should be a variant of the Van Doorne box unless Ford stopped it being used (patents?) after acquiring from Volvo so no fluid losses. Same with the myriad of semi autos that use electronic clutch(es) same as a manual and is in fact conventional manual gearbox just no manual clutch. I will...

Theoretically they will use less fuel as they will always be in the correct gear Trev, also less wear and tear on drive train for same reason. I would not attempt to get into that argument on real time events though ha ha. It is the future though, you know the yaks are always right :) Not sure...

As in most things folks tend to post when they have problems so wouldn’t put too much stock in posts. Better asking ambulance drivers and couriers what they are like. I may be jinxing myself now but I have had auto and semi auto gearboxes since 1978 and really can’t understand why anyone would...

Thanks for setting this up so quickly ?

Sorry John I have looked at this a few times now and cannot see how it has been fixed, I can see a piece of alli angle if I look down the side (not easy to spot unless you are looking for it) but I can’t se anything going through the shelf, I removed the cover piece above the fridge so I could...

I haven’t forgotten about this just not figured out how it’s held in yet. I can see what looks like alli Andre at the bottom rear or the microwave but haven’t been able to see what’s been done apart from that. I am asking they have bolted ange to microwave then captive bolts with nuts under the...

We do have one fitted that has only been used twice but I dont know how it is held down, I think it has a plate at the back holding it but not sure. I am not back in the van for a few days but will see if I can find out over the weekend and post again if I can

Think ours was Aldi but price was about the same :)

Caz uses a folding step to get into our bed, takes virtually no space when folded up

Great stuff Dave. My Waeco has been working brilliantly through the hot weather with everything chilled nicely so at the moment I have no need to change. If/when the day comes though I will be looking up your (hopefully old by then) threads and looking at AC fridge :)

No Sue, well yes she did transplant and engine, changed from the petrol pinto engine to a diesel engine but she was saying she wants more power for hills and such. That was the thinking behind re-chassis I think, get a newer (no rust etc) chassis and more powerful engine so they can expect a...

I think what Marie is wanting answers is moving the complete fibreglass (habitation area) on to another chassis cab. The model she has is a complete fibreglass monocoque shell so leaks through the body are not going to happen. 1. If the existing chassis is suspect what options does she have 2...

Check the spec for the controller you already have fitted. One of mine has a dedicated connection for starter battery that sends 1amp all the time solar is working and battery needs it.

You put it in words I couldn’t even think of at the time Dave :) Batteries at different ends of the van doesn’t make it easy to connect together Max ha, ha and as you say it is doing what you want. Things don’t have to be ‘best practice’ to work or even be how you want but if folks point out...
