What a total load of bo**ocks! If a motorhome is properly built, using proper materials throughout the construction then that is not the case. In my van I used closed cell spray foam and special fire retardent upholstery foam and materials. Yes we do have a gas hob installed but I test/check...

OK Phil, having lived there I have jumped through the French registration hoop several times over the years and to be honest it can be a right royal PITA :mad:!!! I attach a link toone of the many ex-pat websites which I always found to be amongst the best...

I had an interesting problem whilst over in Suffolk the other day. We were over there for a few magical days and were on our way to see a friend who lives there but we were somewhat early so I parked up at the side of the road for about an hour, then when I came to restart the engine...

Brilliant Phil, thanks for posting this info. My pump isn't quite as bad as yours was but now I know what to do with the otherwise excellent pump. Phil

If I were you @RAW I would take very close notice of Geoff's advice as he is a glassfibre wizzard, or in other words what he doesn't know about glassfibre generally speaking isn't worth knowing about! Phil

I did very much the same as you did Dave. I had the original base purchase price for what was in fact quite a dinged and dented van, I then added up all of the costs as detailed in the spread sheets and that came to a figure to which I then added a further £2,000 and they were more than happy...

What I did for the agreed valuation was that when I applied to the DVLA for the V5 change I prepared a totally OTT perfect bound brochure showing 14 photographs which covered all aspects of the conversion as well as the finished item and along with this was a double page spread sheet of the...

And here we are bloody well shivvvvvvvering! I have just received an email from one of our friends in Suffolk and their temp. at 09.00 hrs this morning was only 10C and ours here in South Lincs. when I drove down the road to the doctors at 09.20 was only 11.5C. As for the temperatures in...

I didn't read through that ebay advert but can only assume that price was for 2 cylinders, if you hunt around on the net you will find them for far lower prices than that, such as this one...

Robert, this is why I made the modification that I did to my SafeFill installation which now allows me to safely refill wherever I travel. It isabsolutely bonkers that the bod who imports these cylinders into the UK from Norway hasn't asked them to supply his with cylinders with 2 entry points...

This is proving to be a very interesting read for me with some excellent factual comments as well as some pie in the sky ones as well, but hey ho, such is life. As for stand alone refillable gas cylinders @RAW I have one fitted to my van it is a SafeFill lightweight glassfibre tank as shown...

I have absolutely no idea about the water heater, but as a company Propex have to be amongst the best, most cooperative and most customer focused I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. My experience was gained with the Propes 1800 room heater that I bought 2nd hand and although still in the...

When it comes to the insurance of my 'Millie' Ken, I honestly do find the services and attention to detail as given by Scenic (part of the Swinton Group) is second to none! The really nice thing about them in comparison with AF in particular is that the people you speak to at Scenic actually...

I forgot of course Dave that you aren't doing a normal panel van conversion where weight is such an issue! Phil

Nice work, however those units look like they are domestic type MDF units? I only raise this point as I have always been advised by time honoured DIY converters to avoid using domestic quality MDF units like the plague for 2 distinct reasons, they being: - 1. They are as heavy as hell. 2...

Permanent ventilation is vitally important if for no other reason than it stops condensation. My 'Millie' has (cheap) MPK rooflights and they are OKish apart from I can't find any way other than taking them fully apart to clean their insides, but with these fitted, even when they are closed...

This is there website http://wiringplans.drwelectronics.com/index.html , but which of the many shown is the one you have fitted Phil? The one I looked at only had 5 mtrs. supplied with it and as in all honesty as I don't want to fit a reversing camera, my pockets that are already short become...

That would be very useful as I believe a hard wired version is more what I am looking for having read the reviews of so many of the wireless types. My only concern is the length of cable they are supplied with to run from the camera to the control unit as I plan to be running it in armoured...
