These are cassettes I've made to house the eco blinds. These take alot of care and time to produce but really worth the effort for a professional appearance to house the blinds and stop them hanging away from the wall plus stops them from flopping about and rattling while travelling the last...

Just rear doors to carpet and then onto eye level lockers. Phil

As an aside to carpeting, that is stretch carpeting, those who have Done this will I'm sure agree that it is not a quick or easy job on a build. In my post you will see where I have carpeted around the o/s opening window down to the long day bed, to do this properly and with a professional...

Few photos of continuation of build, started on the carpeting and upholster has arrived to initial fit seat/bed foam. Sis in law has been using it over the last few weeks on long weekends and I've had a bad cold over the last week so progess is a little slower than I had hoped.

If the boards do not need to be removable then I would as I have always done stuck the ceiling board up with evo stick "Sticks like shit". Believe me once it has gone off you could physically hang your body weight from the ceiling. All that is needed is blocks stuck to the roof or roof...

Well Mark, your correct ofcourse that nagging doubt has been on my mind but I've now had three outings since the problem solved itself,consisting of over 50miles each time and various reverse gear use and it's still working fine. I have no idea why this happened as reverse gear in the box is a...

Yes I did Squirrell, there was little to no debris or filings on the diff sump plug, but I did notice a certain amount of brass colour in the oil but to be honest I'm not sure if that is the type of oil that was put in at the factory in Italy? The synchro on all forward gears is perfect and it...

Guess what, I said to the wife seeing as all the forward gears are perfect we'll go to a rally at Margam Park near Swansea, so phoned the rally officer to say we might need a hand to reverse off our pitch unless he could site us in a drive on drive off pitch. No problem he said and off we went...

Hey ho, Great weekend this weekend at Brecon in Wales lovely sunshine. Reversed off the pitch at home time and drove the fifty odd miles back home went to put it into reverse to park it up on the back drive and it refused to go into reverse. Did a few checks under the bonnet and all was well...

Few more of the Chinese heater installation, for those that are interested. Phil.

Yes Phil, we have discussed this and I have made provision to change the set up to take a Gasit type tank in the future but needs must in a budget that at this point in time it was cheaper to set up initially with a standard calor gas bottle. Phil. P.s. Mind you I remember when we used to go...

The very latest. Almost there with the kitchen, Sis in law delivered the Micro wave and Bluetooth radio today, so much for budget build 😁. Though seriously she wants to travel the continent with it and I think she will. "RESPECT" to her 👏. Phil.

Loved it Phil, she can't wait till the van is finished, 😄 nor can I to be honest.

The continuation of the build. Kitchen cabinets now in place as is the heating and water system, gas cupboard and regulater all connected up and tested, now for the worktop, cooker sink and tap. Beginning to wear me down a bit now, I've been working on it continuously for 2 months now hopefully...

I was lucky it only took six months for my Grandfather license to come through. Bloody DVLA workers all need sacking so they have to go and apply for a real job. As was mentioned in the article, every one else has had to carry on, Amazon is by far a bigger workforce than the DVLA and they have...

Hi, good info but would probably be better posted in the "Resources " section, though posting it here first let's folk know that it exists. 😉 Phil

All day job, carpeting the sliding door which has to be done before the kitchen is fitted or else you have to remove the door to do it. I've used my usual tile edging to hide the carpet edges. You have to use a hot air gun on low to heat it up and mold it round a preshaped piece of ply and on...

Ahh forgot to mention the porta loo Phil. 😄

Sis in law roughing it for a weekend on West Wales Rally. Plugged into shore power, blow heater, camp bed TV working electric kettle and air frier what more would you want 😀. Restart on the build Monday. Phil.

Lino also laid before the furniture started to go in, what a fight with it, nightmare, stiff and unforgiving. Phil
