I have got to stop this building bug of mine, it has to stop as my bones simply won't take any more of it. By way of explanation, since moving back from France in 2014 we have moved home 3 times and of this moves we have had to tally rip out and semi rebuild 2 of them, added to which I also...

If you do a lightweight conversion like I did, even when fully loaded for a long touring holiday we can still carry up to 750kgs of wine!!

For us it will be just the 2 of us together sharing our time with our faithful four legged friends including our recently rescued 7 year old Bonnie who, up until 6 months ago had been locked up in a travellers camp as a cruelly abused and maltreated breeding-female dog, she will continue to be...

(Could it be Trev) I remember you well, let's all hope that this place will become an as equally friendly place to be together where we can all share and help. Phil

:);):cool::ROFLMAO: You and me alike when it comes to the dark art!!

I haven't said a long overdue hello to you Ken, one of the old school who has so much to offer by way of knowledge. All the best Phil

Thanks for that Dave. The depth in from my rear doors was dictated by the width of the spare wheel, but if you have an L4 or longer van there is absolutely no reason why you can't shift the whole lot further forward. For instance following my conversion, on one of the facebook self build sites...

Yes Phil, but there is one Phill amongst us who is quite unique as he has an extra L !! Phil;)

Thank you Chris. There was one thing which Phil (Squiffy) and I were trying to introduce on another place, it being a locked and no additional room or facility to comment on area covering IMPORTANT MATTERS. One of the topics, which we did actually achieve in getting put up and locked was the...

Hello Phil, I hope your quiet spell has left you feeling strong and well armed with ever more interesting and cracking comments and advice for all of us self builders out there? Honestly, it is so very good to see you around. Phil (of which there are one hell of a lot of Phil's on here)

I used AF for the first year and after the conversion I went along to Scenic as quite unlike the people I spoke to at AF, these guys actually know what they are talking about and show an interest in what you have done! I have also heard of good comments about motorhome & self build insurance uk...

I certainly agree with your last few words Phil !

At very long last Phil, so good to see you on here, I only joined a few days ago and am already greatly enjoying the experience and am so greatly enjoying seeing so many friends from our former times on both the other former sites. All the very best Phil (ex BB)

An exceptionally old post, but as I am new here I hadn't seen it before. My somewhat battered ex shop fitters 2008 LWB Master only cost me £4k, but I then spent rather more than I had expected to on the conversion ending up with a total cost (inc. initial van purchase) of slightly North of...

Not as far as I am concerned as I own a 2008 Renault Master ! The most difficult thing about building a Master/Movano conversion is the tumble home of the walls, i.e. unlike the Sevel vans that are nigh on square and very wide, the Master/Movano is not only quite significantly narrower but the...

Pudsey, Darcar, Liberty Hall, Fifth Wheel and I have all been in discussions at another place some time ago on this very same subject! My panel is well and truly belt and bracered using stainless steel high tensile nuts and bolts as well as good old Stixall that is specially spaced away from...

I believe the DVLA came up with their requirements following consultation with the NCC (National Caravan Council), which is a body of caravan/motorhome manufacturers, retailers and representatives from the Caravan Club (now Caravan & Motorhome Cub) and the Camping and Caravan Club. As for the...

Hello one and all, I knew so many of you so very well at a former place where I had a different user name. As for the rear washroom John, this is exactly what I built into 'Millie' along with a truly massive shed/garage behind it. The loo/shower fits between the rear wheel arches and the space...
