I experienced exactly the same problem, but then I popped into my local Plumb Centre (now known as Wolseley) and told them about my problems...... I also took in the various items that I was fitting into the system........... and between the 3 blokes behind the counter and about a dozen...

I bought a few items from Jackson Leisure and found them to be quite helpful and they are agents for Thetford https://www.thetfordfridges.co.uk/index.htm Also Magnum Motorhomes sell them as well and their sales staff always seem to know what they are talking about...

I went for 10mm Speedfit plumbing throughout, my reason being that, most especially in the hot pipe run there is far less wasted water when waiting for the hot water to arrive at the tap, it also resulted in me being able to conceal them far more easily. When fitting the pipe the No.1 thing to...

If a motorhome with even quite a large garage was carrying a scrambles bike (for instance), but if the majority of the van was made over to living space and even if you were on the way to a scrambling event............... Surely if you are a private person and not receiving any kind of financial...

I have just seen this new thread over on the sister site Motorhomer posted by someone called @Activecamper. I believe quite a few of us on here carry either a motorbike or motor-scooter in a garage at the back of your van, if you do and if this can be believed, this could well affect you: -...

An ever growing band of us are here to exchange views and advice so it is good to see someone as experienced as you coming along for the ride.

Yes we have a shower and just like @Squiffy, we have travelled extensively in Europe (mainly France) for 5 or 6 weeks each year and normally don't have any difficulty in finding water, but it does naff me off on some of the Aires when the water is metered or time limited and the machine needs a...

Nope................. a LWB, I couldn't fit 3 Spaniels and us 2 in anything shorter! Phil

I have just seen this thread. I am the same as Trev in as much 'Millie' has an underslung 100ltr. tank and we use this water for washing, cooking and for the dogs to drink. For our own drinking needs, I have 2 x 10ltr. plastic water bottles that I bought several years ago and constantly keep...

Something like an air leak into a fuel line won't normally result in a fault code, the problem is that if you aren't able to trace the problem it is likely to get worse with time. Phil

I'm itching to get my teeth into another project Phil, but my most beloved keeps suggesting we ought to move house again!!

Gaud, that took me one heck of a long time to go through all of your images Phil, I started last night and finished them off this morning. Boooootiful job, when are you starting your next project, or is that the one you are helping your son to build? Phil

A long overdue hello from me as well Chris, it is honestly so very good to see you swelling the ever growing numbers of knowledgeable members. I don't know if you are, but so far I can't recall many IVECO Daily convertees and I know you have been to hell and back undertaking your build. All...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm that's a hard one Ken. Sorry to question what Phil suggests, but I doubt if it is anything to do with an auto enrichment as your engine is a diesel and as far as I know your engine won't have one. Is the exhaust chucking out any white smoke until it is fully warmed up? Have you...

In the first instance Trev you buy a van that doesn't rust, or if you do own a van that is known to rust then you thoroughly treat and coat all of the dreaded stuff prior to applying the spray foam.

Most especially the roof and that was hell to do!!

Can you put up the eBay link for others to see please David?

Almost without question, the best kind of insulation to be installed into any panel van or even lorry conversion is closed cell spray foam. You can by DIY kits that several people I know of have used including @Kermavio who lives over in France, however these kits are expensive and the onus for...

Vermin is always of concern to me as well Darren as I have seen what they can do to a wiring loom. I haven't fitted one anywhere close to 'Millie' but in the garage I have an electronic force field device turned on, which I must say, proves to be very effective at keeping them at bay. I make...

And an exceptionally Happy New Year to you tooooooo Edina, don't you ever sleep? Let us all hope 2019 will see Motorhome Builder grow into becoming the "to go to" friendly forum. I for one will be dropping the name out whenever the opportunity is given to me to spread the good word. Phil
