I don't know what van you have, but it isn't too late to move your water storage into underslung tanks? I know it is easy to point fingers after the build, but I conducted years of research prior to building my 'Millie'. The number one answer to questions I put to quite literally hundreds of...

OK I know how you like to get on your soap box............. I am almost exactly the same when tyres come into the conversation!!

I honestly am amazed at how Dave spares the time to give his advice to anyone who asks technical electrical questions.... what a star he is for any and all of us on Motorhome Builder, how lucky we all are. Phil

I have now asked around on 3 different Renault Master facebook groups where several have suggested using a Traffic double swivel and have a 30mm fabrication added to it.... this was one comment I received to the question I posted "Buy one for a Traffic use the spacers and bolts from one to you...

I am sorry I can't help you, however I have seen double swivels fitted to these iconic vans but where they came from, heaven knows.......... I will start searching Phil

I couldn't and most certainly wouldn't ever spend that much on batteries, instead we moderate our consumption of electricity when away in 'Millie' in very much the same way as we do at home! When away, yes we have a 12v Waeco fridge which I wish I had never fitted and apart from that we don't...

Neat work

Couldn't you have installed a wet heating system similar to the ones fitted to so many modern day caravans and motorhomes? Phil

I reckon you have been studying the way the Roman's installed their underfloor heating in their forts throughout their occupied world :ROFLMAO: I take my hat off to you, your imagination, skills and perseverance never cease to amaze me you are an exhibition to us all Phil

In another thread that I have read somewhere either on this forum or the sister sites, someone posted about very significant rust, some so bad that the metal was perforated and this was in vans with galvanised bodies which had been professionally converted to buses or similar by the fitting of...

Much to my dismay I fitted a reversing camera to 'Millie' late last year as it was the only way my most beloved would consider driving her. As I had sworn I would never need or use one, now it is quite amazing how often I actually am using it! Mind you my most beloved still hasn't driven...

Grab life by the balls Dave and forget the cost.................. oh and @Tookey I used to do 5 or 6 rounds of golf a week and I did have lots to show for it, the trouble was I didn't like having to polish the silver ware so often, but all the prizes were very nice to have! Phil

A very dear friend of ours has bags fitted to both of his outlets so until this year he had always headed to full service sites where he has been able to change his bags in the privacy of a large shower/loo compartment. Roll on to this year and we persuaded him that as his small Eriba caravan...

Do you actually use the ladder and if so, surely by looking at where it is mounted that is one exceptionally questionable position for a significant load bearing item, as this is the case, would it be possible for you to plate the area or even have the ladder extended so that it can be attached...

I don't know about the company in question. 'Millie' has fresh and waste tanks as supplied cy CAK tanks and CAK is a suitable description of the company when it comes to customer service!! Arguably the most respected supplier and manufacturer of tanks in the self build market it Shaun Barratt...

When using these (excellent) self adhesive LED strips I have found that the adhesive isn't all that long lasting, so what I did was stuck them in place and then I ran a fine bead of white Stixall along both sides and 5 years later they are all stuck firmly in place. PS. I ought my LED strips...

My first caravan had a single 12v light in some gaud awful shade, it also had 4 gas mantles. All my other caravans had a mixture of 240 and 12 volt lighting. My 'Millie' only has 12v LED lighting which when we are on hook up are, in turn, powered by the mains. At home, the down lighting strips I...

Personally I wouldn't go for bonded glass or perspex units, purely because when considering a van conversion, if you will ever be sleeping in it when it is cold, you will need to have insulation. Believe me, it is amazing how many people convert their vans looking for the cool look and...

Dave I was about to type don't forget to fit a low energy LED bulb so as to reduce the heat and there in about the next line you wrote exactly the same thing! That is a brilliant result, but just as a meaningful question, would it be possible to buy some opaque or self coloured perspex to make...

Oh please no not her! :mad:
