    Underslung gas-it tank

    The majority of tanks if not all of them are produced in Poland, I very much doubt that you can get spare parts such as you require in the UK, but I would hazard a guess that if you contact the producers in Poland they would be more than happy to accommodate you. The main problem I feel is...

    Bravo for him Dave, as I said if its necessary then it's not a gimmick, for 99% of us on here it's a gimmick 🥱. Phil

    AC Fridge In Campervan -.Power Consumption Test

    Yes it's the same for Ali Express, I was considering buying a Double din Radio/Nav from Ali for a Ducato for £297 but when I added import duty and Vat it made the risk of buying direct from China not worth it. Phil

    AC Fridge In Campervan -.Power Consumption Test

    If you demand more from an alternator than it is designed to make, one of two things will happen 1) The battery will get more and more discharged to the point that 2) The alternator will burn out attempting to supply the necessary ampage to keep the battery at nominal charge and at the same time...

    Bike ride

    It's not the speed that counts Nabsim, it's the feel of the thumping long stroke 4stroke be it single or twin that was the master of the early British bikes. 😜. Phil P.s. And the constant drop of oil from various areas on the engines, it was all part of the knowledge

    Bike ride

    Lovely originals, bikes of my youth, solid thumpers, you knew you were riding a British motorcycle in those days not like the mobile sewing machines of today, 40 year olds think that Honda and the likes of Yamaha's are classic bikes but have never in the main ridden a real oiler like a true...

    GDPR laws with regards to the purchase of vehicles?

    Just spoken to my wife who deals with this every day in her job ( Property management and commercial/ private lettings) and she says that the previous owner would have to sign a letter to say that they agree for the service invoices to be passed on to who ever bought the vehicle, if they do not...

    GDPR laws with regards to the purchase of vehicles?

    I agree with Dave on this Phil, as with the service invoice comes customer address and usually telephone number too, so would I presume come under Privacy laws. But then so does the handbook and service book so are they not now allowed to be passed on with a 1-10 year old car either. It's a...

    Your right I remember when if the car engine broke down you got out a role of tools from the boot and 90% of the time you were on your way within half an hour, not any more even the AA or RAC can't help 90% of the modern computer brained vehicles now, yes I do yearn for the old days in some...

    New Victron Feature

    For what reason would you spend ,£287 just so that you could change a parameter on your van when for 30years if I needed to change anything I'd wait till either I got home or I walked out to the van and changed it manually for nothing. Yes if you already own the equipment and have paid £200+...

    New Victron Feature

    Game changer it maybe Dave but at that price I think I'll stay with changing it in blue tooth range, I really can not imagine when I'm desperately going to want to change any settings while I'm away from the van, innovative but a costly gimmick. 😆Phil

    Not a Conversion....a Cosmetic Makeover

    We've booked into a campsite In Cornwall on 9 Aug, as we live in Wales we wondered what will happen if we get stopped coming back into Wales after two weeks on the Darkside if our First minister is still procrastinating over whether we can move further than 5 miles from home, let alone having...

    Bike ride

    Wife said she had to deliver some paperwork this morning so I suggested I took her on the Bonneville, was only 10 miles there, so off we went and ended up doing 55 miles round the country roads in the Vale of Glamorgan, beautiful, warm sun, quiet roads had a great ride out for the first time in...

    Not a Conversion....a Cosmetic Makeover

    Its unnerving how many folk are not aware of axle wieght limits, most people see 3.5tons and assume that if weighed on a weigh bridge or VOSA hidden road weighing bridge that so long as they are within the max weight limit all is fine, it is not actually fine, if you exceed axle weight limits...

    When it comes to van you converted, what was your worst decision?

    Sorry Phil ( Millie master,) I've sort of hijacked your thread,🙃.Phil

    When it comes to van you converted, what was your worst decision?

    Not to worry G as I say I had the Sundance for ten years and loved it, did 48 thousand miles in it mostly on the continent but nearly every weekend in the UK and never had a scrape, we motorhomers tend to drive more slowly than the average driver, still not progressed to a trilby yet though 😁...

    When it comes to van you converted, what was your worst decision?

    I have to say I saw a program once on the survivability of someone travelling in the back of a coach built motorhome a few years ago, they did a crash dummy test with a well known make I can't remember which but the end result was horrific, at the time I had recently bought new a Swift...

    When it comes to van you converted, what was your worst decision?

    Yes Euro, Sorry I forgot yours was not a conversion done privately, but of course it does relate to those of us who bought a van and converted it. Phil
