I am still not clear in my mind as to the exact ruling on side facing seats, as far as I can determine side facing seats without seat belt restraints for travelling are still legal but frowned upon, for all the legal speak and the police plus others would like to cloud the issue by saying it is...

I've self fitted bonded windows on the rear doors of my XLWB 250x now for six years Squirrel and my sons bonded windows on his sliding door, opposite side and both rear doors for 18 months with no problems, as Silver sprinter says if done properly its no different to factory fit bonded windows...

They are the tanks I have, best decision I took on water tanks, saw them first on commercial conversions at shows and got his phone number off a tank at a show. He does do various inlets and outlets according to your needs, but specialising in Sevel vans and I believe Ford transits he delivers...

With respect Phil, the main stress on something like that is downwards not in its like hanging a heavy picture the force is down the wall not outwards or in this case inwards. I suspect that it has been fine for a number of years but the force of reversing into a solid object was too much for...

In 30 years we have never drunk water straight from any motorhome/caravan water storage, we always boil the water first i.e. tea or coffee, on occasions my wife will boil the water then let it go cold for drinking if we run out of water from tap water held in a bottle. I'm sure that if storage...

Was this reversing damage or ladder use? Phil

Talking of plugging in and shore power about 5 years ago we went on the Romantic route through Germany then on through Switzerland and France with my brother and his wife and Sister and her husband they had a Hymer each and we went in our Conversion, my sister and her husband were insistent on...

Can't really add to that, it's all been said 👌. Phil

Well well, after reading that I have to change my view of your posts and future posts, it seems to me that you have decided it's your way or no way, hey ho it also would seem that you are using the site for possible commercial gain which is not the primary use or intention of sites such as...

I may have mentioned this before, my insurance is with Saga, Ha ha to those that say Saga is only for old folk. However when I was looking for an insurance company to insure my pride and joy Saga gave me the cheapest quote on a self built van based on £40.000 but insisted on an engineers report...

Quite honestly Squirrel I never sit upright on our couches, we have long day beds on both sides of the rear where we recline rather than sit, I feel that with most conversions there is really not enough width to allow for a sloping rear cushion as the space left behind would be wasted space...

Not negatively at all it's constructive views of other builders, nobody as far as I can see has criticised the actual build quality, infact most have said it was a good job. If you post pictures of your build and say the layout is not for some then you must expect those that agree its not for...

As you say not for everyone, well thought out for bed construction but to my mind it seriously hampers entry and exit unless you use the back doors, which if you are towing or have a tow ball bike rack on the back as we often do would not work. On occasions one of us will still be in bed while...

I believe that Ferry companies do not allow you to carry spare petrol cans and request that gas cylinders are turned off when the vehicle is being transported, this is a condition of them ferrying your vehicle. I have to say that I have always had a spare petrol can for the generator and have...

I believe that the idea of the wheels revolving on the track to be correct, that grease begets dust and grit and that although initially it quietens the action over time it will infact compound problems. Most modern wheels are made of nylon and have either a metal insert that revolves round a...

Wasn't aware we were discussing ten year + cars Trev, but yes anything of an average new purchase price being sold ten years on would be highly unlikely to have a full service history, though they are around. But if your paying a high price for a sort after exclusive vehicle it would be nice to...

I remember years ago one of my customers who had a Jaguar had a misfire intermittently, I traced it down to a spark plug in the 5th cylinder but did not have the correct grade plug so used one very close to the grade but different make to the rest, a couple of months later he came back in with...

Come to that Phil, how could Mercedes prove that all aspects had not been carried out 😄. Anything like that is very subjective.Phil

The whole purpose of any motorhome builders site is to help and assist new builders and indeed experienced builders, if someone asks a question that has been asked many times before a more comprehensive and considered answer usually follows as the amount of people who have taken on that...
