Over my many, many years of chatting to motorhome and campervan owners, almost every one of them clearly said that the major problem they had with their van was the lack of storage space. So the smaller the van then the need for as much storage space as possible will normally become ever more...

So bloody true, but there again that's the mindset of some of these FB people so many of whom have attidues to life and road safety that beggar belief!!

Patently there has to remain some kind of rigorous testing of all vehicles. Having lived over there for 10 years, personally I believe the French Control Technique tests are better as they can only be carried out by certified independant establishments that have absolutely no links/connection to...

All very interesting and valuable responses. Quite amazingly on this FB group the overall feeling is basically what chance is there of getting caught!

On one of the self builld FaceBook groups, someone has just (proudly) posted this photograph of the spare wheel mount on the back door of his Renault Master. Apart from the fact that I don't like to see wheels mounted in the exposed open air without full covers, I am forced to ask does the...

FINGERS CROSSED

Rise Sir Squiffy, you have done a truly amazing and totally loving build, how truly lucky your sister in law is. Many, many thanks Phil, I have enjoyed every single second of your efforts. Phil

Brilliant job Phil, as can only be expected when it comes to your skills. As for Magnums, they are truly amazing, very good/excellent prices, very knowledgeable staff and fantastic delivery times using arguably the best couriers, namely DPD. I have just bought a Propex water heater from them...

And also slightly too large, but thanks for the thought. Phil

As an update and after close inspection, I came to the conclusion that the tank was absolutely buggered, so I have now ordered a 6ltr. Propex 240v tank to replace it with, purchased from Magnums for just £151 along with free delivery. As there is the usual venting hole from the Henry heater and...

You live and learn. (y)

Hi Phil; It is just the same over in France, I am always told off by my most beloved when I term/describe the Dordogne as central France as she always insists it is S/W France which is of course the official description, however I always then show her where it actually is on the map !! But...

Many thanks for your swift reply Phil. We are in South Wales, close to Solva (brilliant farm ice cream),. Although the Water heater is buggered, I am hoping to find somwhere to buy an exact fit replacement from for when I get home next week. But as the Carver or Henry heaters are no longer...

over in Wales and the bloody Henry water heater has stopped working. Now if you didn’t know these are exactly the same as the Carver heaters and as ours is all of 7 years old, I think it possibly needs replacing. Ideally or rather, essentially it needs to be a like for like replacement... Any...

How long now Phil before you are finally finished on this labour of love? Phil

I am fairly certain that you won'tbe able to buy from a retail outlet one of these unique hinges, however I suggest you contact Magnum Motorhomes who employ so many very knowledgeable people that they might be able to help, otherwise I repeat my earlier suggestion and contact some breakers...

It might be best to go to one of the caravan breakers yards of which there are many. Phil

It would help if you could attach a photograph as your description is somewhat confusing, well to me at least.

From knackered 'Flimsie' to FANTASTIC finished job and now you can sit back with a good stiff drink in your hand and think to your proud self "bloody hell, I did all this", it is a truly fantastic feeling, now enjoy ;):ROFLMAO:;)

I am exactly as you are Phil, if someone else can make something then by hook or by crook so can I.................. Brilliant job by the way, your Sister In Law and indeed your most beloved must both be proud of you.
