Hi Pudsey, Yes as I originally said that at first glance it does look just like a van with side windows, but what really rankles me is that if you put my Sis in laws van along side an Autosleeper 2022 conversion there is no distinguishable difference other than the V5 of hers now reads van with...

This is a screen shot of my solar inverter details from today and as you can see the grid voltage is 238v which is actually higher than usual. As I said maybe different areas have different voltages when supplied by generators I.e. Hydro as opposed to Nuclear or even fossil fueled stations. Phil.

Very odd Dave, as I mentioned, for a long time I personally have never seen 240v or above it's always shown as between 230 and 237volts maybe in different areas the voltage is slightly different depending on which type of generator is supplying the grid. As for the microwave I'm sure that other...

My Sis in laws V5 has been returned today with "Van with side windows" Oh well. I do have to say that with full blackout side and rear windows it actually describes the van " At first glance" but if studied fully it is unmistakably a Motorhome. What really upsets me is the builders such as...

For many years and even now I refer to 240volts for the mains voltage in the UK, however on the occasions that I've had to test the mains over the last 10 or 15 years I've noticed that the value has been less than 240v and closer to 230v. This I have always assumed was due to mis reading of my...

This ofcourse is why the majority of posters on this tread have complained of lacking information. How you operate the taps is obviously dependent on how you open and close them. To most of us we would not even contemplate that many alternatives mainly because that many alternatives is a little...

Hmmmmm, over the last two years I've battled with spiders, I'm adverse to killing anything so have endured them as they only usually build the odd cobb Web and do catch the odd mosquito and fly, but over the past few months the common garden spider has been swapped out by these ginormous False...

Actually Pudsey I got the board sizes wrong on my previous post it should have read 1200x600x15mm and ofcourse not all of the boards were used the total would have been 112kg but there must have been atleast an 1/8th wastage which brings the total furniture board weight to 98kg, as she travels...

Na think I'll give that a miss!

On my last build I used 7 boards 8x4 or rather 2400x1250mm furniture board from Wicks it cost at least a third less than the so called lightweight furniture board from motorhome suppliers and quite honestly was very little extra weight, it is 15mm thickness so all the usual trims and corner...

Hmmmm, think we may have come to the end of this discussion. Phil 😵‍💫

Tony your plan is definitely workable, I've done many a plumbing job on motorhomes and campervans and looking at your plan it is a workable solution to how you require it to work if that's what you require. The comments I've made were meant to be helpful obviously I mis understand your post. Phil

Hi Tony, I have to agree with Pudsey and say that to me at least you have greatly over thought out your pluming system. I am not aware of the vehicle you are building but calling it a Campervan suggests its similar to a VW T 5/6, if this is the case two 100L Internal tanks would be taking up...

I've fitted a few seats now with no hassle from the authorities. They must be fitted so that they are not liable to go through the floor in the advent of collision. I.e. bolted through the floor with the bolts going through strengthener plates if fitted to just the steel floor on the front legs...

Do you not have the facility of switching the inverter off when using shore power where by you are using solely the hook up power for fridge and hob + charging the battery and reverting to inverter when wild camping. I have to say that some sites only have an 8amp hook up though the standard...

Cor! That's cheap I'll have two of them. 🤣. Phil

Darwinian theory 😁 Ps. There are many more Chinese diesel heaters in use than those of German origin yet you don't hear of the Government banning Chinese heaters because of the danger of monoxide poisoning. No unfortunately it's the installations that are at fault just as with Espacher if they...

This is as I said, the majority of problems come from installation and not the equipment. As for co2, it's always necessary to have a good monoxide alarm installed too, I have two Fire angels Carbon monoxide/ Smoke alarms, one back and one front. I never ever run my Truma 4e when asleep unless...
