Have you considered that at some point in it's history some "low life" may have bent the door trying to get in?

Looking a the marks in the paint, I don't think the front door seal is mounted properly. As for the rear doors, I find you can often bend them to fit better.

Murky draws it's air just in front of the drivers pedestal. Inside the original coach intake housing is a dry foam air filter. The heater is mounted in the redundant space by what would have been the driver step. It had air heating before I purchased it, but it had been removed. The air...

Do you have a reason for this?

Time for another update (just) The top section of the bed frame has been made and today we had a trial fitting. There was no personal verbal abuse or cruelty. So I guess that means it went well. ;) And there is enough room to allow fitting of the rest of the frame. Another half days work...

I priced it up a while back. Once you have purchased a decent battery spot welder and the battery management boards it works out around the same price as buying one plus your labour. Half a dozen starts to look good, but then if your selling them you need to offer support. Not looking so good...

Don't forget to book the ambulance!!

Murky is really easy to clean the screen as the bumper has foot holes in it. Betty is going to be another story :( I think I will have to invest in a soft brush with an extending pole. After cleaning Murky's screen some years ago in the Netherlands, a elderly German fellow tried to climb his...

Putting my build to shame, well done.

Wire soup. Anita tells me of for it. ;)

I guess it’s about what you’re prepared to put into it. As bad as it is, it’s not as rotten as busboys. It could have been converted on the cheap and driven to death. I expect I’ll have it for some years. So I’m hoping it won’t want major work later. Murky evolved from a one week conversion...

Another boring post for some, and maybe light at the end of a dark tunnel for others. At the moment this is guesswork by conclusions. In the early days of this conversion I had indicator and wiper problems. The wiper stalk was faulty and some pratt had fitted an old style wiper motor. The...

If it helps, I've been there too :(

I've seen so much that doesn't make sense, other than battery manufactures are liars and cheats. My new 90ah varta's with a low load test look like they are only good for about 20ah. Even the demand on so called leisure batteries has changed with people using big inverters. Maybe a traction...

OK then, you have a battery with fake capacity even if it was excellent. So 70Ah is really 35Ah. You say 12.7 volts is good, but have seen 13.4 volts. So lets give said battery a little chance and call the volts 12.5 So that would give you 347.5 Watts/hours. A 21 watt 12volt bulb draws 1.68...

I expect it has a serial number on it, I wonder if you could find out when it was made? I often wonder about products with expired shelf lives, what does happen too them?

Funny what ideas people have, I'd have thought a motorhome would be a better target for breaking into than a works van. Though if you dig deep enough the dvla does state that a vehicles "body type" has nothing to do with what it's used for.

Just to keep you going, register it as a showman's vehicle? I think you have to do at least 3 shows. I think road tax is the minimum rate, but I don't know how much other stuff you can avoid.

From what I can see of the box construction, it might be tougher to convert than you might expect.

I'm planning on running a MPPT 100/15 for each side on the roof. It will be interesting to see the pair working together.
