I undertook my one and only conversion actually with the mindset that I would convert and old high mileage first then if we liked it, we would sell it and then convert either a new or very nearly new van. But as I have written on here so many times before, 'Millie' ticks every single one of our...

Personally I always take these and similar figures with a pinch of salt! And yet again this a broad brush atention grabbing survey that doesn't compare like with like, by which I mean, surely Parkers could have put up one set of results for large panel vans, one for medium sized panel vans and...

As Dave suggests, length is everything when it comes to making a truly user friendly camper and as some of the fairer sex will also say "never mind the length, let's feel the width"! In this context when it a combination of useable space, then without any shadow of doubt the very best and most...

Sorry not answering your question, but if I were you I would go for the L4 version. Phil

Van Electrics are indeed a black art! I can't offer even an olive twig lat alone branch of knowldege about your problem which is on no doubt a Sevel built van, however I did have a very similar problem on my 08 Renaut Master which I eventually tracked down to an OE but aftremarket fitment of a...

I have been away over in Norfolk/Suffolk for the past couple of weeks and have only just spotted this post of yours Rob and I didn't even see your last post prior to typing this! Having now looked through the past MOT history of this van I wouldn't even give it a second glance, and although it...

I know, I know Geoff, I was bending the rules, but in my application I did send a large number of photographs none of which showed a table in situ, however I did read the requirements of the regulations through and through and came to my decision not to fit one in the habitation area and as I...

My conversion complies with the need for a table as it is attached semi-permanently to a part of my vans conversion, however it is located on a holding bracket on the inside of the n/s back doors in what I term as the shed, oh and by the way we never use the table inside, prefering to have our...

If you are wanting to strip out an old caravan and use it for your build, now is the time of year to grab yourself a bargain!

But great for storage which you can't have too much of IMHO Phil

That is a very good use of space you have achieved there, however I wouldn't fancy the step up from the cab as my knees could very well cry help!! Phil

@Pugwash69 that looks to be a simply stunning conversion on a van that rarely receives such detailed thought and attention...... BRILLIANT Why not put up a load of (normal) images on the site as so many others of us have done? I got slightly spaced out looking at the 2 images you put links to...

When living in France I fitted solar panels (Navitron) to both of my properties as well as the shower blocks on the caravan sites I built, they worked superbly, even in winter! As for having something on the roof of your van @Pugwash69 then I would do as Dave has suggested and only when on...

Quite simply because they give manufacturers the best deals, but in truth it doesn't matter if it is a Fiat, Citroen or Peugeot as they are all the same vans coming down exactly the same production line in Italy, the only difference at times being that Fiat will fit a different engine to the PSA...

Many thanks for the compliment, we are still loving it now getting on for 5 years after finishing the job and despite quite hard use not one single thing has broken or even come loose! The entire build came to approx. £7k and it should have come to a few quid more if I had done the sensible...

Well if you use the Dynax S-50, the tin comes with two different lengths of extension tube and I use the longest one of these as it makes spraying inside the base of the driver/passenger doors so very easy as all you have to do is feed the lance in through the drainage holes along the bottom...

You might know better than I do Trev., but what type of galvanising is applied to the Renault Master and OK I know the make we are discussing here is a Fiat Duck manufactured in Italy, but are they likely to have similar types of galv.? If they are similar, then my 08 Master is still amazingly...

Well @Vanterrier this is something that anyone who knows me on here will never normally hear me saying, but in all honesty you don't need to apply any kind of rust inhibitor to any Sevel built van as from 2007, they have all been fitted with fully galvanised bodies. The Renault built vans which...

I honestly can't reply exactly about spraying the area above the cab in a Sprinter as I have never seen one, but in the H2 version of the Renault Master, the above cab has a load tray for the storage of small items above which is the bare painted metal of the roof. I simply covered over the load...

Bloody hell £1,200, geeeeeeeeeees, if you are talking about MPI there prices have gone up enormously. If you contact Jake Clarkson @ One Insulation https://www.oneinsulation.co.uk/, mention my name Phil McDonald and I hope he will recall giving me a special price of (I hope this senile old...
