One innovation that I have used now on three vans is Ikia eco blinds with a home made cassette, not only are they cheap to buy but also come in varying colours and sizes. The actual cassette can be a bit tricky and time consuming but I feel that the end result is good not only aesthetically but...

A lot depends on if you get it classed by DVLA as a Motor Caravan, this will then make it somewhat easier to get it insured with an agreed value. However because insurance companies are aware of the DVLA's awkward stance on self builds, many of them will now insure your vehicle at an "Agreed...

Looks great, nice finish 👏. Phil

Hi ya jonnyboy, No actually it took about the same time 6.5 months nearly full time work. To do it properly I have to say it takes time, but of course if you are going to build the same design exactly each time I can see that it could become a lot faster using the same templates etc. As for my...

I used van pimps, they were the cheapest and very fast on delivery. I have not seen anything that would suggest that their windows are substandard, infact they all seemed very good quality. Phil P.s. These are the windows that I fitted to my sis in laws van, as in my posts on building it on...

Yes I see what you mean Kev, I actually did zoom in on it late last night and was going to say this morning that it was a home built, but got busy readying the van for leaving dinner time for Margam Park Rally and forgot about posting. Phil

Must have been a very specific caravan then Kev to have it's wheel base in the exact area that the panel van rear wheel base happened to be in conjunction with the cab area. I still feel that it was a commercially built " Motor caravan" I Still think it's a commercially built vehicle and sold...

Then the position of lamps has been down graded since I was an MoT tester/ Authorised examiner licenced operator. As when I was involved the position lamps had to be within specific limits from the outer edge of the vehicle hence my arguments with pre VOSA, over American imported cars. Maybe it...

It really depends on if the rear light cluster is obscured from directly behind the vehicle, as the mot testers manual ( Some years ago admittedly) states that the sidelight/ brake light and indicators should be visible from the rear of the vehicle. As if you where at 90degs or more from the...

I don't think that van is customised Nabsim, it looks like a commercial coach built to me. Phil

Some over hang on that waggon Kev, 😳. Phil

Decals added today, getting ready for the great DVLA challenge cup 😆Phil.

Hi Rodger, are all the wiring and fuses still in the kit your selling. Phil

Thanks Phil, though I won't deny that I'll be doing a little jig when it is finally finished 😀. Phil

Large light showing at the end of the tunnel 😃. Finished all the cupboards only the letter rack by the front driverseat and the book rack at the rear along the back wall to roof, then the decals for the outside, not looking forward to the decals as it will mean I have to clean the outside 😏...

Well it's been over three weeks almost now and still it's not quite finished. I'm putting up some photos of the Awning fitting, it's a Fiamma 80s and I have to say its a lot smoother in operation than my more expensive Thule awning 😕. I ordered it from Magnums as they were having a Queen10...

Nice to hear from you again Kev, your right I'm doing my sis in laws van as in my posts, but I think it will be my last one as it does take it out of you physically and mentally 🙄. Phil

Great thanks, seems awhile since you've been on here hope all is well, 😁👍

Would be good deal if it went for £45 Pudsey but its on auction and rarely do ebay auctions end in close to starting price, infact in my experience folk tend to have auction madness on ebay and inevitably end up paying as much as new or close to it or in some auctions more than new which beggers...
