Even if their equipment is faulty and showing the wrong figures!

I am on a few facebook groups all connected with converting the dear old Renault Master and one of them has a participant who has just put up these truly amazing images of the worktop that he and his wife have created from scratch............ Personally I think it is a work of art! In answer...

Isn't the cab a sprung unit like so many HGV's are these days and will you be keeping the cab roof sleeping pod? As for the climb through tunnel you are engineering in, because of either chassis flex or if it is a sprung cab, what kind of flexing system will you be building into it? I am...

What a brilliant starting point for your build, what an absolute beast, rather you than me with the running costs! It doesn't matter a damn the size of a truck being converted as almost all the build problems are very similar with one very important difference, it being that you are unlikely to...

Well all I know Trev is that it seems to work.

I believe that the cab unit on Dave's Fiat MoHo will be attached to an ALKO fully galvanised extension chassis, the problem is then with regards to anything that is attached to it and if it is metal then that is very likely to be some kind of low grade mild steel. Oh so sadly it is the very...

Yes Dave, in my site owning past when helping visitors out with mechanical problems I have ventured underneath flexi vans from manufacturers as diverse in sale price as Concorde, Hymer and Swift and despite some of these costing upwards of £400k I am afraid to say that in the vast majority of...

The one major matter of critical safety is the load bearing snap break/strength of any straps that are securing any garage mounted motorbike or scooter in place as well as of course the tie down points that of course MUST be attached to the chassis when talking about coachbuilt motorhomes and...

Dave; might something like this work https://www.morehandles.co.uk/from-the-anvil-small-circular-flush-pull-handle.html or this might be better still https://www.morehandles.co.uk/small-circular-flush-pull-art56.html Phil

That's a work of dedicated art

Your so right Trev, it is oh so very important to have every single item secured when out on the road. As an aside when I was a sprightly and wild 17 year old I was on a camping holiday down in the Sennen with 2 frinds in a mini van. On the way back from our lunch time pub, Steve the driver...

It's a great feeling when you have days like that Phil

No, but this is far more amusing :ROFLMAO:

Having looked at a very large number of 'flimsy' motorhomes over the years, the strength or to be more precise the structural weakness of any and all of the garage walls is something that causes me at least a lot of concern, on safety grounds alone! So if you are storing anything heavy, such as...

Are they Gel or acid?

To this day, some 51 years later, I honestly can't believe my brother married the callous ***** that he did. But being the scheming slightly younger brother who detested the woman (I still do), I planned his stag night and car dressing up over a very long period of time. For his stag night I...

We used to have a regular visitor to one of our sites who travelled in a mega expensive Concorde MAN motorhome. On arrival on their pitch, they would stop the engine and then a few moments later the entire enormous machine would sink slowly to the ground following which there then started some...

I wouldn't have expected anything else from you Dave as you are after all an electrical geek and I say that in the nicest possible way as you design and build for the maximum which is why your knowledge is so valuable on here Phil

I am not familiar with these Dave, although I have seen them and have always thought that they make the mirrors far more visible as well as actually improving the appearance of the van. Are they a clip fit or are they an adhesive bond? I agree with you about warming them up as it will make...

I fell asleep when trying to watch that American dribble............ To be honest I fall asleep when trying to watch so many self interest, self promoting YouTube crap! Just like at home where I use very little electricity, when we are away in 'Millie' we simply don't use much of the stuff, so...
