The trick is to fart at the same time you open the slide, this equels the pressure and no blow back will happen. If after decending one must hold onto the dangly bits or you will be in trouble.:eek:😂

WEll known that any alteration from production line, ie big engines or 5 speed g boxes will not be allowed, things like s belts retro fitt will be ok.

Why not do away with the door and install bottle from inside as i did, still you may find one somewhere.

Loosing so much power converting from 12v to 230v, 12v lights and usb 5v charge points are the way to go, gas to cook etc. I do have a 230v fridge on a 600w smart inverter running 200ah batts and 200w solar.

Ebay and f book are full of campervan half finished dreams, many are a lashup and some beyond fixable at silly high prices, my van was bought like that and required a full strip & rebuild, lucky i bought it for buttons with 50th on the clock and a new recon engine fitted.

Mine keep the electric 230v fridge running through a 600w smart inverter, so if stopped the fridge is drawing but panels keep the batts up to dark, the batts will last well into next day so it works for me, mine are behind a high roof nose so little or no drag.

Mine are bolted through, i used fence brakets bent to 90deg, cheap as chips and galved, stainless bolts to, then under the panels i used a boat deck gland to bring the cables in, 10 years now with no probs.

My van was set with thin ply over insulation and riveted to the steel box frame which the outside alloy panels are fixed to, i used wide head rivets then covered the panels with trim cloth.

Sine of getting old when you cannot find your multitool, or remember how to use it and what for.;)

But if a painted roof then alls holding it is a thin layer of paint which may let go, it has happened.

Do you have an mppt control unit rather than the old PWM type.

Remember to isolate the solar panel first or you will distroy the mppt regulator.

Wildbus is your man, first the charger must be able to charge those batteries and id think they will be expensive, not sure about the current input sorry.

No so with many, my van can touch 30mpg, my newish car is ment to do 60 mpg on petrol, nop more like 40 ish, mmy old skoda pushrod did 48/52 on long steady runs, its engine was from the 1950 ish old school.

I have one of then carvers in mine but never wired it up or connected to gas, did not see the point as a big kettle on the hob does the same thing warming water, my loo room has a 12v hand wash unit which holds 8 ltrs of water which is able to give a all over wash at xmas time LOL.

Mint was good and is still the no one, but lite is like old win xp, things have moved on over the last few years, i had a look at ten and found it a revamp of a older sys, then the win curnal is 30/40 years old with bits just tacked on, linux builds new ones as they go, pick up a old duo 64 bit...

No south african bush tea was given to my wife to try by a lady where she worked, thing tesco ar asda sell it here, yes see what you meen about the name LOL.

Pushrod engines were miles better, no requirement for over head cams and belts unless you plan to race, and that includes front wheel drive cr-p, inline engine is best.

Yes you had the tools, I did the same, but many folk forget about all the tools and how to use them, so most give up and sell, thats how i got my van after the tosepot gave up and fooked just about everything he could, had to strip all out to the bare chassis and start all over again, some...

Yes tried it, very nice, have you tried bush tea.
