This is "Betty" the plaxton Cheetah. The one with bonded windows. This about 8.5 metres long and a bit wider and taller. I don't have any current pictures that show the whole of the outside, the paint work is more subtle now. The one I'd shown earlier has better designed widows. All the hard...

It's hard to explain, but I have very limited options of what I can do with the roof. The rolled edge you see above the windows is part of the roll over structure. Not somewhere to put big holes. When Anita is up to it we'll do a dummy fit of the solar panels and then see what options are...

With what I'm after the extractor fan mount in the roof.

It's 8.1 metres long. 2.2 wide and 3.1 high. The rest I'll edit in later as Anita is having a day off due to having 16 stiches in her leg yesterday.

I was thinking along those Dave. I just unrolled one of the miasol panels and they have over 100mm of unused area on the connection end. So I may be able to vent between them without too much worry of shadows. What I also found in the box was BMV 702 new and boxed. I really should try and...

Bit of an update now that Battery Megastore has had the Varta's for a few days now. Friday they were pronounced OK After some being passed around, it turns ok they only had a start ability test. :( HELP!!!!!!! A capacity test is possibly underway now.

Thanks Dave, but I really want to get the damp air out. I think it was cooking that killed my 608 Merc. It rotted all around the roof just above the guttering. I just had another look at Betty's roof and it might be possible to go between the panels. Or the other idea would be to fabricate a...

This is the one we want to sell, once we have made the new one useable. Also get this one painted.

I'm hoping this will be the answer on the "Betty" build. https://leisurelines.net/dometic-ck400-cooker-hood-5090-p.asp With the solar panels taking up all the free roof space on the sides of the roof, where to put the exhaust.

More windows ;) Sorry two pics due to length.

One thing I have noticed whilst working on "Betty" that has bonded windows, is that the water has nowhere to run too! On the "Murky" that has traditional transport style windows. It was a drainage system built in that collects and channels water outside. Now thinking of a system to prevent...

Funny I was thinking that, I was told that horse urine is one of the best steel removers going. :(

I use Uniroyal traction and steer. They grip well on mud. Takes some shopping to get a good price. I like to get them balanced when fitted too.

Those older Merc engines went better on the old high sulphur diesel, you might find some power loss on veg oil. It was the 15 year old girls with no driving licence often found behind the wheel I was on about, though I've been told they are trying to stop it now. Tyre life is not bad if you buy...

Driven illegally, no money spent on maintenance. ;)

Though I've not seen a uk version they do make a panel van and coach, so there must be engine access alternatives?

From what I remember they were awful on fuel, and unless it's had a coach diff fitted not very quick.

Yes Trevor, the new build spec has changed a bit already. Demolition is greater than construction still. I’m sure there will still be major mistakes/regrets.

The who point was to buy a new one. High spec low price lots of options.

I'm not sure if they are tilt cab or not. The Rosa bus can't be. I guess it depends on how much cab you want to keep. Rubber/fabric bellows are often used for tilt cabs. For fixed cabs that are rubber mounted and then having a body built onto it. I've seen and driven versions with the rear...
