I assume that the material above the trusses, is the aluminium skin of the roof. Do you mean that without the support poles that the beams visibly sag? I would imagine you have copied the beam spacing and sizes as per the original, if so then the possibility is that you have used soft wood as...

Thanks Phil, but she doesn't see the mistakes I make because I'm very good at making them look like planned ideas 😆. Phil

Ceiling up and all light wires ready to receive the LED bulb holders, fridge snugged in and ready for service cables and gas pipe and all wiring looms made up and ready to be plugged in once the connections have been made to various electrical items. The ceiling joins are going to have thin...

If you have two windows on each side of the Habitation then you have obviously exceeded the window criteria, if you have the decals and the usual protuberances on the outside such as vents, waste tap etc and you have an awning or atleast an awning rail then I would go for an independent...

Hi Mark, only last week Rip Of Britain had a piece on a guy who had been failed by the DVLA, his van was without doubt a motorhome but they refused twice until he wrote to Rip Off Britain and after they got involved it was suddenly "We are very sorry, there must have been a mistake made, and...

Doesn't seem a lot has been done but building the fridge box is quite exacting and it has taken time to make sure everything is a tight fit but enough room to slide the fridge in. You will see in the photo I have made an opening in the top to allow for easy gas pipe connection and leak testing...

How many windows are there Alec on both sides not including the passenger and driver windows, size although not mentioned in their reasons to pass I'm certain that in this case size matters. Phil

No probs Harry, I know how you feel and what it takes to get through a build. 🙂.Phil

In my experience the best solution for battery longevity of charge is without doubt solar panels, if you drive for 2-3 hrs per day when touring then improving your mechanical charging is good but as soon as you stay for 2-3 days in one place there is nothing to beat solar panel(s) with a good...

Today's offering, I have now almost finished the wiring using a second hand Sargents EC155 and making up my own wiring loom. I've used various wire mainly thin wall auto cable and double insulated aeronautical grade stuff I got from my son who works in the aeronautics trade. I used 11 amp for...

I have been in consultation with the DVLA for the past 6 months, in September last year I sent in my D2 & D4 forms all duly filled in present and correct, sent them off luckily recorded post ( They specifically say it's not needed) after 12 weeks went by the saga started I eventually got...

I feel I should apologise Dave, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable and I have unintentionally interfered in your thread, I admit that some of the things I said specifically about selling on this site was uncalled for and I withdraw that comment unreservedly, your threads are of...

Oh Dave! we aren't returning to the scenario of you flogging equipment on here again are we, that this is all really a disguised sales pitch, I rather hope not, as your experiments are as I said interesting in the main. It also seems that I'm not the only one on here that it has never...

The point I was making Dave is all though there are contributors saying that 12+ is destroying Led lights etc they in the main are quoting third party instances and not instances that have happened to them, they seem to have jumped on the band wagon and are distributing mis information. Which...

With the greatest respect Dave, as it is obvious your knowledge on electrical matters is good, but for the life of me I can't see the point of all this other than interest and experimentation. As I have been Caravanning and Motorhoming for many years and other than the hab batteries going west...

Seems to be what you require, but looking at the advert it looks like they are giving a misleading photo of the sizes available or they are using the same size containers but only partially filling them 🤔.Phil

Exactly what we noticed most, 😁.Phil

One point I think I should mention is that folks will notice the ply boards are set back from the A&B pillars, although this makes it more difficult to construct rather than straight boards from ceiling to floor which avoids the necessary detailed cutting and fitting, the extra 150mm at the top...

Thank you for your compliment Phil. Firstly many years ago before I met my wife Eileen who was struggling to bring up 4 children on her own ( Long story) My now Sister in Law paid to have a boiler fitted to Eileen's house at the time, at great cost, and I've never forgotten her kindnesses and...
