    Warning

    This kind of thing doesn't surprise me one little bit as those darned Chinkies are not only capable of manufacturing some of the World's best products but also some of the most dangerous that look exactly the same! :mad::mad::mad:

    is VED payable on old ambulances that people convert?

    I was reading this reply by a member with the name of "Thistle" to a topic on the sister site Wild Camping and thought it was so relevant to members of this Group: - ___________________________________________________________________________________________ "Ah well that's a category I know...

    Millage

    Can I presume you mean Mileage? As my dad always used to say when considering buying an old car/van, it all depends on the condition of the general mechanical parts and most importantly of all, the body. The trouble with older Iveco Daily vans is that the bodies can and do rust and rust in a...

    Satellites and the fitting of

    Phil; we used to split our sides when touring through France, stopping on Aires when at approx. 17.30 hrs every single French van there would turn on their TV' s and the dishes (like your new one) went up, with them all swivelling this way and that, just like a set from Strictly Come Dancing!

    Communication failures by the DVLA about what a campervan is leave people confused

    Personally I had no problems at all with the DVLA, but I have followed a great many stories about people who have been experiencing a total brick wall of DVLA ineptitude allied also to an almost blanket zero interest by their staff!! Just like it has happened within the insurance industry where...

    Not a Self-build, but a Tweaker

    A subtle and generally great improvement and well worth the time and effort.

    Luton vs panel van

    A Luton body is far easier to build a conversion in as the sides are very square (upright and straight) and they are generally taller, hence giving more usable internal height. The down sides, as far as I am concerned are (a) they are slightly more wieldy to drive and navigate through narrow...

    I oh so agree with you Trev., for my sins, every single day I share a link to this site on at least 1 FaceBook self building groups and quite often on several as Chris the former member edina knows only too well.

    @ Admin, you might have seen SquirrelCook putting up a comment on his "Violating a Princess" post, where he suggests that his large bus conversion is most definitely a Motorhome and definitely not a van. As this is the case and as there are one hell of a lot of people converting similar types...

    It surely is one of those between a rock and a hard place decisions for you to make Phil. Personally speaking, I don't actually like your proposed new name and by the same token I never really liked Motorhome Builder, but of the two and as this group is known by that name, then in some ways I...

    Shower fan/vent

    This may or may not be of interest to you. I fitted a Propex blown air heating system to my van which has one vent inside the shower/loo cubicle. No-one dislikes the smells associated with these confined spaces as much as I do, we also dislike the dampness of them after having had a shower...

    Comment by 'Millie Master' in media 'RSafeFill.jpg'

    Thank you so much Phil. And this is quite pertinent photograph to highlight, or more importantly the Safefill cupboard or rather the refillable gas cylinder inside it. I wrote to Safefill just the other day to enquire when a check needed to be done on the safety of the cylinder to which I...

    Any faults in Wiring Diagram?

    Oh so very sadly,time and time again and ever again I read various YouTube, supposedly knowledge kings who are quite frankly talking out of their assienders and time and time again I forever keep suggesting that members of some of these highly suspect YouTube groups ought to join a highly...

    Help needed to insure self build

    As Phil says this chore becomes a great deal easier if your van becomes registered with the DVLA and you are able to obtain an agreed valuation. If you haven't done so already, it might be worth your time preparing a detailed list of your expenditure, listing individual items etc. I prepared...

    VW Crafter MWB Build

    I couldn't agree with you more. I built my L3 H2 Master to a lightweight construction method, the result of which is that even when fully loaded, along with the dogs and both my most beloved and myself, we still have an amazing 750kg load margin according to the weighbridge.

    VW Crafter MWB Build

    I only made my suggestion when I read that you had got rid of the overhead storage area in the cab where in my Renault Master (medium roof) I made it into a proper storage lidded area where I can store all our walking coats 6 in total, all the dog coats 4 in total, a king size throw over fleace...
