I read something like that also but my last post from .gov was made In 2010 and mentions nothing about the 2007 edit, so who do you believe in this instance, it's all a bit murky and pretend illegal as I have never yet come across any direct information saying it is defo illegal, it all seems to...

Just come across this, "Converting a van to carry passengers in the rear" .gov This is an extract. Side-facing seatbelts Our advice is that passengers are safest in a forward or rearward facing seat equipped with a lap belt or, preferably, a three-point belt. Although side facing seats, with...

Hi Eurobiker, yes if you look at construction and use regs the side facing seat laws on seat belts is nebulous in the extreme, it is almost as though they are trying to make it look as though its illegal but realise that there is infact a loophole that has not been addressed and are just hoping...

I find that a lot of the better brands have a screw on cap for after use, however once opened regardless of manufacturer or product there is then an accelerated shelf life, which even when well sealed at the nozzle can be short in so much as a week or three let alone months. Phil

I think the only thing I would change is provision for a third travelling seat. It hasn't really bothered us but there have been occasions when we would like to have taken a grandchild with us. We have travelled with an adult on the back bench seat as it seems to me to be legal over the age of...

I think you'll find pneumatics would not have the same support qualities as air is compressable and oil is not so you would be walking on air as they say. Phil

Joke lads,Phil

Couple of bottle Jack's bolted upside down on the floor 🤔🤗.Phil

Doesn't sound that way from this angle. Anyway those that do go off grid like me for weeks at a time the current situation with electric appliances just would not stand up, plus my wife just loves to use the oven for baking and roast dinners maybe others dont have such luxury when away like...

Obviously your view is not held by the majority of commercial builders🤔 ahhh maybe they are just using up old stock, that's probably it, NOT. Get real and follow the experts in this subject and understand when that technology is completely viable the industry will kick into gear and use it...

It's because the electric way is way too costly in weight as well as cash for a standard 3.5ton motorhome and the majority are now concentrating on that weight as grandfather 7.5ton is dying out with the likes of my generation. If it was a better idea believe me the business people in this trade...

Ok Dave, I can see that the blinkers are on. Horses for courses, but the electrical race is far from won, 😄. Phil P.s. You do a lot of heat shrinking in your van, interesting.

Dave I know you are a electric nutter but you know exactly what I mean and that I was using a metaphor in explaining weight, what ever you try to say about electrical power the equivalent power to weight ratio of gas to electric power is undeniable. As for using power tools, unless your...

Dave you forget the present weight penalties of Using electric, to have the same untethered means to power a fridge and cooker the amount of battery power for the equivalent time with gas is greatly out weighed by the weight of equivalent stored battery power, yes it's a good idea and I'm sure...

If it was my choice I would go for it, but as previously mentioned do not use them in moderate or high winds🙃. Phil

The one in the old van was a Dometic and also in the new van, the venting for Electrolux and Thetford is garbage and in my view also dangerous in the view of carbon monoxide poisoning as they vent into the fridge cavity space and rely totally on movement of warm air rising to vent gases out...

I can only report what is my personal finding of twice being in 40+, and my wife could still enjoy her Magnum ice creams or what ever the Italian supermarket equivalents are 😁 not that they stayed long in the freezer compartment 🤪. Of course if your talking 50/50 fridge freezers then yes you...

This is where I have fitted mine on a Ducato, I've seen commercial companies fit them this hieght as well. I think I could quite safely get away fitting them about six inches higher, dont forget the legs are adjustable so one side could be appreciably higher than the other they dont have to...

For full extension and partial extension to a point yes, best way is to get someone to hold the opposite leg from the gas inlet with awning fully extended then wind the canopy in decreasing the gas inlet leg in lenght holding it up to the side of the van till the angle gets to difficult for the...

Not suggesting it doesn't have some affect, but does it have a major contributory factor, I personally doubt it, as to longevity of the fridge my previous van I had for ten years which I bought new in 2005 ( The one that I was in Venice in) and sold in 2015 the fridge was still working as it...
