    Battery only lasts 2 years and a bit?

    You don't say what make of van. My Renault Master 100 dci van was doing exactly the same (although it is a lot older) and I traced it down to 2 things. 1. When you lock it, the vans alarm system is still on and that results in a gradual drain, and this will be the same on all modern vehicles...

    Family of 8. Coach self build advice.

    A family of 8, yeee gods and yes you will need to have a coach. For that little lot you will not only need acres of living day space but also a very considerable amount of water storage, both fresh and grey that would be best accommodated in tanks under floor, for those, arguably the best place...

    A right royal PITA of a job! Can anyone help please?

    I have found that Stixall and other such adhesives do stick like sh*t toboth the tiles and the shower trays, however they aren't mould resistant and of course my most beloved is fastidious about cleanliness doesn't like me using Stixall or similar for this kind of job in the house. However...

    A right royal PITA of a job! Can anyone help please?

    This is a question which has van building and maintenance connections and in my case domestic ones as well. In the shower room of my home, I have a right royal pain in the assiender problem with the shower, or to be more exact the sealing between the tiled walls and the acrylic shower base...

    Just to think I had seen it all !!!

    On one of the FaceBook groups I sometimes look at I saw this (er-hum) amazing roof lining and yes the poster of it was serious about it as he had bought new galvanised sheeting, treated it with acid, then neutralised it before applying 3 coats of satin varnish. And I thought I had seen most...

    Simplest Solution for off-grid (starter) trickle charging

    The risk of any installation such as the one Dave is suggesting is that in a hurry it is oh so easy to forget to do the obvious!

    The Dreaded DVLA

    That is the very best description of the current state of affairs!

    The Dreaded DVLA

    EXACTLY, well said there Phil............. It doesn't bother me either as mine is correctly registered as well. However the DVLA's stance might have been brought on by so much absolute dross being presented to them over the years as well as, no doubt, truly dreadful applications! Phil

    The Dreaded DVLA

    There must surely be a way to end this stupidity? As we both know, our own 1st builds were successfully re-registered as a Motor Caravan, so what has changed? However in current state of political and economic turmoil, it is highly unlikely that any approaches to the elected representatives of...

    Factory Sub flooring

    I will leave others to reply to your question about the flooring, my concern is with regards to your van. The Iveco Daily is a brilliant van with superb, strong mechanicals, however their bodies are more than somewhat prone to the dreaded rust bug and one of the worst (and oft invisible) areas...

    Creepy crawlies

    Phil; I too dislike killing any living creature with the exception of rodents, mosquitos, midges, blue bottles, house flies and crane flies. As for spiders and their webs, if they can resist the suction of my powerful Black & Decker rechargeable portable vacuum, then they can live and even if...

    Furniture board

    My lightweight build has proven to be as good and strong now as when I originally finished it back in 2015, it also cost me next to nothing in real terms to produce and it is as strong as the proverbial Ox! I built a total frame work out of 25 x 50 roofing lats with all the joints being easy to...

    Salt batteries, are tehy now the very best?

    Just like the rapid advancement of Hydrogen as the most sensible form of low cost energy, the World is I am sure going to see some truly eye opening advances in technology over the next few years. Hopefully each new invention won't be blocked, as it has been in former years, by the likes of BP...
