I might be shot down in flames for writing the following, but just as long as another site isn't generally slagged off or overtly promoted, I don't believe the powers that 'B' would take adversely to such a matter. However I believe I know that all of us on here who were once over there feel...

You and me alike Phil. Just like I did with the other place, I am at it every single day spreading the word of this well managed place. When we catch a business who might be interested in giving a discount to our membership is it Chris or the great one himself that we pass the information to...

Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!

I totally agree with you Phil. I don't know what it is or how it all came about but when you and I were kids, we used to run around quite often covered in dirt playing all day long with not a care in the World and hardly anyone knew what an allergic reaction was for the simple reason that so...

Because I am not into techi stuff, when doing the wiring in 'Millie', apart from the thick cables I used for the fridge, solar panel and LB's, almost all the rest of the cables are done with 2.5mm EHU cable the reason being that I had a load of it lying about in my old cables boxes. But never...

Me to, the whole basis of this site is so very much more secure and generally professional.

As you live in North Shropshire and of course if you haven't already done so. When I was living in the wilds just outside Kerry, I opened a cash only account with Boys & Boden where first of all I had cleared with them that I was about to start a major building project and gave them a full list...

That is keen working outside in conditions like there are at the moment! Are you simply running cable in or are you planning to run them in trunking? For all the main front to back cables in my build I ran them through some 40mm drain pipe along with some additional pull through leads should I...

OK folks lets not dwell on this subject, I wish them well but I am very firmly with Phil @Squiffy. May I suggest that if you do have any thoughts and comments about this growing place that you don't air them on-line but send them to Phil at @Admin or @Edina, both of whom are working their butts...

It would appear it is up again with a new format.

Thanks for sharing Phil, it was worth a punt...

Why? France has superb rural roads that are mainly in excellent condition and with exceptionally low levels of traffic. Whenever I am over there I normally will avoid toll roads and yet our average speeds are exceptionally good simply because next to nothing ever holds you up which has another...

As an ex site owner in France, personally I hated them as I was lucky enough to be able to keep my site full without giving any discounts! OK if you like going to sites, but personally speaking these days I/we have become so accustomed to going to Aires throughout France which are either free...

As a passionate dog owner and having built my entire van around the needs of our 3 x spaniels, aren't you going somewhat OTT @Duckato ? OK I designed and built into my van an entire rear garage/storage area with absolutely loads of storage room for items such as full poop bags, but surely if...

This is an amazingly informative read Dave, you are to be complemented on your amazingly detailed and easy to follow drawings as well as your reasoning for and behind everything you are doing on the electrical side....... brilliant! Hopefully admin or @Edina will agree and somehow make certain...

If I can understand what you are saying, your van used to have side windows and they have been replaced with some kind of metal sheet which has been pop riveted into place and you don't like the look of the finished job?? If that is the case, then why not buy yourself a large tub of filler, fill...

Very thorough and detailed installation Dave, most especially the way you have attached the solar panels................... One word of caution though, the image of the underside of your van, can I spot some of the tell tale stains of the dreaded tin munching monster? Phil

Never seen them before silly arse that I am, but I don't have them on my pipes and in my installation at least, so far, I don't have any leaks..... If you want to use them Vic then do so, but as Phil (Squiffy) says, they would be an absolute pain to try to ever remove. Phil

I wish I could help Gary, but unfortunately Morlands play their cards exceptionally close to their chest!

I agree with you Phil about inserts not being used in caravans etc., but I have found that every single one of the very many caravans I have serviced over the years that so many of them had leaks at taps, showers or other such joints. Possibly if the manufacturers of these mega expensive...
