Your ins co will decline cover,even the army dont use them in jeeps anymore, and would you risk a flying adult in a crash, at 30mph they weigh the same as a baby elephant,and thats the skinny ones lol.

Euro lotto then, lend us a tenner. ;)

Folk did that here to avoid road tax years back.

Side clearance is important as the back can hit side of van when swinging.

Got mine out of a scrap car at breakers yard, moded then to lock back as well as front, it was either a toyota or a ford wagon type car.

Already sorted, a padlock holds them on.

Cannot find anything thats 230v i require in my van apart from a small 500w electric heater for winter outside my home to which i have one socket to power it beside the mains input to charger.

I have had some of them stick on strips and they failed over a short time,not saying they all do .

Yep mine is all 12v except for the 230v fridge which works of a smart inverter, but then mine is a self build and not a factory job. Any one with a older van should get a smart charger and led light conversion done,things have moved on.

You can buy little lamps for about £2 each in soft or pure white which can be direct mounted or put in a cover as you did.

Surly if on hook up the battery charger will work and feed the hab battery so 12v lights only would save having two sets of lights, seems daft to me. :unsure:

The site is a good source of info for us all, i to was on diy then it closed for a while then back again, sometimes i post there but phil has not let us down here and so this is my main site, wiring dias are good for folk starting of, if anything thats what beats most.

Why are they not 12v,where do you get 240 from. :unsure: Also i took a reading here in house and its 230v, is mainland higher volts.

You said that you could carry 2 others, where there are no rear belted seats facing forward or back from what i see, side belted seats are out and were very dangerous in there day, otherwise your van your choice of layout.

I have fixed beds and just use van seats which turn and are comphy so no 3 p settee required, every one to their own setup. (y)

Its not just c/vans these days, its everything from builders plumbers you name it, always make sure everything is in writing and signed, take pictures or record all on smart ph, legal team Sue Grabit & Run. ;)

Mine is only for cooking so i turn of at tank when driving, on when cooking only.

Thanks phil, motorhome constructor sites better,your shout and thanks for the site. (y)

£15 i used to charge for blasting and finish in 2 pac poly.

Yep my self build is miles ahead of many vans i have looked at costing so much more,mine cost 6 grand all in and 2,400 was for a chap to hand make and install two new iner gards at front.
