I didn't know that rear tinted windows were unacceptable! I thought they were only interested in the side windows and how many side windows? Phil

I agree, in the past Millie Master and I have had words through emails with the head of DVLA when the rules were announced but not as yet put into practice, it seems as though it was left up to people who had no interest in camper vans or motorhomes to decide if it was going to be reclassified...

Hi Trucking, Yes it has now become very difficult to get it registered as a "Motor caravan". Your other half is correct that the passenger window does not count in the amount of windows required per side, it is two windows on one side and at least one window on the opposite side. Preferably...

Beyond me Trev, haven't sprayed professionally for 25years 😜 but when I do I seem to get a great finish with my trusty old devilbiss. Phil

That was 1978 Trev, that was a top of the range Devilbiss at the time much later I bought top of the range devilbiss gravity fed which I still own and use on occasions 😁. Phil

Just realised, check out the shirt and the collar, just proves its a seventies photo 😂. Phil

Trust me my wife decided to have a clear out today and guess what I came across, this is totally coincidence, this is a picture of me heating up some cellulose paint prior to spraying something or other. So much for health and safety in those days 🤣, however here I am safe and sound at 70 😊...

Thanks, interesting. Yes about 30 years ago I had a drip fed old cast iron waste oil heater that I used in the garage and I remember now it was a sod to light as in the winter the oil was so thick it would not drip fast enough to keep the burn pan alight, so I'd have to light old rags soaked in...

Would be interested in a link to that. Phil

90 days before my license was due to expire at 70years I sent off my D2 and D4 (This was to keep my grandfather rights) on Sept 11 it arrived at DVLA Swansea by Royal mail special delivery signed for. I then sat back and waited the ten weeks that they were claiming it would take due to the...

I've got an xlwb Ducato 130 that I've had from new 2014, when I first bought it and test drove, as you noticed it sounded very road noisy but drove just like a car. However once built with all the internals and externals complete it then became very quiet and at 3325kg bridge weight ready to...

I've been running a Honda 10i for 17 years Changed the oil once in those years and not touched it other than put petrol in, its economic, virtually silent compared to any other generator I've come across on the many sites I've been on. OK it doesn't run my microwave, but it runs everything else...

We're at Dare Valley Country Park for the long weekend 😁.Phil

What's happening lads seems that this forum change has silenced everyone?? Phil.

Further to previous, I asked my sister in law what she had put on her joining application for C&MC she said "I just put down Camper van " no make or model just Camper van. Phil

The main reason we joined is for cheaper ferry crossing which is considerably cheaper and the use of their CL network and as mentioned the local rallies though you can join a rally at the other end of the country if you wish to, the rally fees are cheap much cheaper than camp sites and can be...

Belay the last post my wife has just reminded me that her sister has just in the last 8 weeks joined the Caravan and motorhome club with her Mercedes Vito self build camper van and no such question was apparently asked !! I've just checked the New members site and it's down for maintenance so...

I suppose because we've been members for 35 years it's possible that the question was never asked I don't know, our membership just continues 🤔. Phil

Things have changed dramatically over the last year or so with the Caravan and motorhome club, as you say they used to be very choosy as to who could join but younger folk are now getting control of the club. We have been members of the club for 35 years and I have to say that we initially used...

Do you mean they will not insure you as motor caravan Dave, or are you saying they will not allow you to join the Caravan and motorhome club, if that's what your suggesting this would be incorrect they are even now accepting tents even. There is no designated criteria for what is classed as a...
