If in n Ireland near Glengormley i have some caravan windows with the frames, £20 each, other wise seitz windows are the best but expensive I built my own van so know my way round most stuff.

I have all that on a page in my head somewhere. :eek:

2 batteries takes twice as long to charge if using a 10ah charger, same if charging off the alternator, but then again they will almost last twice as long before requiring a boost, as for solar, the rules is 100w panel for 100ah battery minimum, and 3/4 mths of the year they are useless inGB.

Cellulose went out with nelsons eye, use industrial 2 pack poly, the best shine is International, but it is easy to run, I preefair juton or Sigma.

I would have fitted led carbon batts, pos 2 for sure, but remember it takes twice as long to charge them, but the l carbon does not suffer sitting at a lower charge than standard or agm batts, solar is for sure a good upgrade but only good from spring to aut.

Looks a good job to me, keep the pics coming.

Proper etch is 2 pack and almost clear with a slight yellow tinge,top coat should be 2 pack polyurethan, can be rolled or sprayed with a gravity gun, 40psi and about 14 cfm compressor, many folk years back used coach paints, mine could do with a repaint sometime soon.

Mine is on log book motorcaravan.

Stay away from fords, apart from crap mechanics the blighters get nicked 24/7

You will be right cold and condensation with all them single glasse windows, first thing I would have disposed of and sheeted in, does in my eye look like a bus.

Always put a few extra wires in to different places as almost always you will require an add on for something down the line.

Most epoxy resins if it is dont work under 6c, best leave a floor to hotter weather to make sure timber is dry.

How are you going to get from the cab to the living qtrs or viceversa.

Yes street charging can be a bu--er for many, I'm lucky in that respect.

Why dont you fit a built in smart charger with a outside charge plug point.

Waste of time using single pack red oxide, best to clean back to white metal and use a zink rich 2 pack epoxy.

Best plan is to strip all out and start fresh before a rebuild to camper.

Floor ply is best coated in fibre glass both sides and edges, resin board is much better. Do remember to have all wiring runs sorted and in place at the start, think solar is a must.

Chopping wood is the second source of heat. 😂

People been talking about baked beans and my wind problem again. :eek:
