If its leaking at the joint between the roof and the roof light then a bead of adhesive sealant around the join will stop the leak it really doesn't matter what it looks like as it can't be seen from the ground and only affects one's pride but stops the leak. I did this when our maxi heki...

All the paperwork arrived from SV Tech on Wednesday and I have now sent of the V5C and the SV Tech documents to DVLA for it to be changed on its plate weight to 3900kg, so I hope that the 2-4 week return suggested by DVLA website turns into 2 week. The plate supplied by SV was an official...

I am not conversant with the rules Mark I just had the details from my son but I believe when he said commercial builders, it means the likes of Bursner Swift, Autotrail etc etc, unfortunately there are always those that build and sell for a profit and unless are a registered company it's very...

My Son has just sold the van we built about 4 years ago. Due to the fact that he and his wife have just recently had another daughter plus they have just exchanged on another house so finance and leisure time is tight. We did a fairly good build which cost him circa £22000. He advertised it on...

By the by most 3 way fridges will take atleast 3 or 4 hours to start to lower the inside tempeture to the standard 5degs, when using gas or 230volts, the 12volt situation is really to keep the fridge at a low tempreture when travelling and is not really meant to be used to cool the fridge down...

Evening Rhys, A three way fridge works on Gas, 12volts (when engine is running only), and mains 230volts. When working on gas the flame heats the refrigerant which then circulates around the vanes/pipework at the rear of the fridge and causes the icing up of the fridge plate inside which then...

To be honest Mark I've built 3 campervans since I did mine and got it registered as "Motorcaravan " all three are not registered as "motorcaravans" but all have insurance to their current value without a problem. 10 years ago it was a different story there were very few insurance companies that...

Port in a storm is always welcome Mark, It's good to have anything that might work to hand. Phil

I've since found out that if your van is not registered as a "motor caravan" I.e. its still registered as a panel van. You can go straight to Dvsa and fill in form VTG10. Send £25 and they will produce a weight plate for you do all the paperwork and up plate your particular van to its original...

Oh man of little faith, believe in God my friend and you shall be redeemed. NOT. 😆.Phil

We're actually in Barry kev, not far from Barry Island 😁. Phil

Yesterday I took my van to the public weighbridge in Cardiff as I'm due to go down to Pompeii on Sept 1st, so as I've added stuff to it over the years and I'll be towing my Bonniville too I thought I'd check the vehicle weight and train weight. I've always been close to max so it was beginning...

Funny I've just had the same email addressed to my Gmail address and calling me Johnno?? As you Kev I had to smile and had no intention of re joining. Phil Talk of the devil I've now just had one to my hotmail addressed to Squiffy.

Just put several dots and dabs of sealant adhesive on the board and push it up against the panel. The board is so light weight that it holds easily in place. I've used Kingspan in all four of my builds and wouldn't contemplate using spray foam and all the hidden problems it causes I.e. Time...

Old fashioned Kev, Reading I find is more invigorating than watching 😁.Phil.

Well, Good game, good game. The first thing I would say is that if you are fairly DIY efficient then changing the cambelt on an Ducato 2.3 is easily done. With a few provisos, one being fit the other having a good selection of tools I.e. 1/4 and 3/8 drive ratchets and sockets, you will also need...

I've got this advertised in various places and suddenly thought it might be of interest to someone on here. It's a Camos self seeking satellite dome with the satellite search box module, I removed it off my van when I fitted the 85cm dish. The dome picks up Freesat and sky about half way across...
