I have just spotted the following post put up by @rugbyken on the sister site Motorhomer and I thought this French supplier might be of use to some of you:- Rugbykens post: "I had such a job sourcing a large box for my motorhome when I saw a german van come in to this aire with a big box I...

Chris; for cutting the floor sheets (where I used 12mm marine plywood) I used a hand held circular saw along with a clamped on guide. I know some people swear blind that a plunge saw is best, but this method worked just as well for me as it always has and without the expense of buying yet...

Off to the Weatherspoons pub in Melton Mowbray for a lunch time meet up with some of the family today......... Brilliant value for a large and excellent plate of high quality fish and chips which includes a pint of an excellent draft beer and all for just £7.20. At these prices and at the...

Hello AlanD and welcome. When you say you are making two length wise beds, are you intending to keep them as 2 separate beds or are you wanting to make them up into one large double bed? If you are intending to have 2 lengthwise seats that double up as single beds then it isn't very likely...

Now hang on Trev, I know and no doubt you know countless dozens of the fairer sex who wouldn't be capable of changing a wheel at the side of the road so do you think they should all hand in their licences?

Geoff, did you do the rear door conversion yourself, that is a brilliant way to make the van look even better and more unique. Phil

Make certain that you get the V5 sorted before you try to sell it along with, if you can, an agreed valuation both of which will make it far easier to sell. Phil

Gary; when you described your Blue van in your first post, I was expecting to see an absolute dog, but my gaud it's polished up well, it looks like a stonking good buy to me. Phil

I have never seen a plastic moulding to fit around the wheelbox before, where did you get it from? Your rate of build is exceptionally fast considering the apparent quality of your workmanship, truly well done. Phil

Brilliant, so good to see almost the start of a new van conversion on here, keep the images flowing. Phil

The very same with a Renault Master, mind you I have never had to top up between my annual (on the drive) services. :) Phil

Gary, how about starting up a new thread where you could cover the design of your van, there are lots of us on here who would love to give you a helping hand. Phil

My 2008 Renault Master also has a lengthy and strangely shaped funnel supplied as part of its kit, it is essential to use it when filling or topping up with oil as the filling point is almost impossible to get to! Phil

You said you were being kept busy Geoff when we spoke on the phone and now I can see why............. Could you possibly put up a 3/4 front view of your Maxus as I am sure there are quite a few of us on here don't know what one looks like? Phil ps. Glad to see your workmanship is well up to...

Looking at the photographs of your engine compartment (nice and clean I must say), the graphic symbols on both of the filling points is certainly the design used on engine oil filing points. Very obviously the one that is set into the metal cam/cover is exceptionally difficult to get a large oil...

Personally speaking I don't like being too cramped when out and about, most especially when on one of our longer 5+ week tours, as such and as there are the two of us plus three Spaniels, I went for a LWB, in my case a Renault Master which I must point out aren't anywhere near as easy to convert...

Are the two filler caps exactly the same and as such interchangeable? If they are then I believe Darrens reply might be correct, however in all my very many years of mucking around with motors, I have never ever seen any engine installation with two engine oil filling points. Possibly if...

Hello Alan and a warm welcome to this knowledge base of a friendly forum. I believe most of us on here are quite literally itching to get their teeth into a new members project, as such, ask away, no matter how stupid you think your question might be, believe me it isn't, as at some time, all...

Love them or hate them Darren, a Landie, most especially a Series has/had a character all of their own and mind you "Blue Louis" my 300TDi Defender 90 also had character by the absolute bucket. Every single journey I ever drove in either of mine always resulted in an inner smile of deep seated...

Ah but Darren, there is excusable rust and then there is the kind of rust you find in a van!!
