Those LEDs will really add to the ambience in that fine ambulance! (well, someone had to say it!:) ). I wonder if that couple on the telly have any more like-minded friends who also have more money than sense? If so, there's a fortune there waiting for a half-decent van converter!! (And BTW...

Could this mean a promotion for Henry?? Glad that it had a happy ending Kimbo!! (smoke alarms are well worth having, but they're not quite so cuddly!)

I've seen this series a couple of times, and I even have the DVD (it's now available through Amazon ... One Man And His Campervan [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Martin Dorey: Film & TV ). It's interesting and well worth viewing, but I don't know why they put quite so much emphasis on the cookery...

I'd tread very carefully if I were you. Because there are far fewer wildcampers around at this time of year, the infamous mad axe-murderer has given up wasting his diesel in touring the usual POI's and hot-spots, looking for victims. Instead, he parks up in a residential area and waits for the...

I know that the OP was well-meaning, but I agree with Robmac about buying these keys directly from the Canals & Rivers Trust. Even if we don't use these "pirated" keys ourselves, by advertising or encouraging their use we might not be giving others a very favourable impression of ourselves as...

Next time I'm there, I'll pitch a tent alongside my van for my German Shepherd to sleep in. He'd love to be woken up by a Ranger!! :):scared::)

When I was a kid, we used to call it a "screw-hammer". I've never heard it called that by anyone else, so I assumed that my dad had made the name up, and to be honest, we used it as a hammer as much as an adjustable spanner! On seeing this thread, the name came back to me, and I did a quick...

A few of those anti-static strips are still marketed as "anti car-sickness" devices. One of the customer reviews of this brand says that it seems to have worked for her dog (or maybe the dog has just got accustomed to travelling in the car?)...

Sorry to hear that you had so much hassle for what is, hopefully, a simple fix. I've never tried that K-Seal myself, but I've heard good things about it on here. I always carry one or two of these "Bar's Seal" tubes of leak sealant with me. It's the best sealant that I've ever used, usually...

Congratulations Hippy, it looks like a good van, and in good nick too!! Hope you have many happy miles in it, and get yourself to a few of the upcoming meets. You'd probably be made welcome at the Girlies meet next week now, just so they could all have a good nosey around it. (you know what...

I'm also a non-believer in "gassing", but I'd like to offer my sympathy to the OP for his ordeal, and my thanks for the reminder and warning about getting too complacent with security issues. Please check the facts before making any wild accusations about me. In any case, I have reliable...

Just for you WVW, it means "Some people do not understand my humour!". (BTW, not a bad attempt by you though!) :):)

That comment that you made on the previous (now closed) thread was definitely NOT anti-gay, and it didn't come across like that. Most adults of any orientation would take it as a harmless joke and (even) find it funny! :) It's an unfortunate fact that almost ANY humour carries the risk of being...

If it is the Seven Heads shop, then instead of avoiding his shop, any passing wildcampers should call in and remind him that the "Well of the Seven Heads" monument, opposite, could very easily be transformed to the "Well of the EIGHT Heads" if he continues to block our access to the spot...

LOL Sorry Winty, but I'm afraid you'll have to play your little game with someone else now!! :):):)

According to the reports from companies who have implemented the reverse-only parking policy, the employees actually get to work EARLIER than usual, to allow more time for the poorer drivers to park correctly. They also report that after the first few weeks, the use of the car parks become much...

The trouble with acetylene cylinders is that, unlike LPG cyls, they can continue to self-heat (building up internal pressure) long after you have removed them from a fire or heat source. In the old days, they would be submersed in a make-shift dam of water for 24 hours, then checked at...

As you probably know Maingate, this will most likely be due to the "flammable range" of petrol vapour (in this case), which is very roughly between about 1% and 8% mix with air, if I remember correctly. If the concentration of petrol vapour to air is lower than 1%, or is greater than 8% (as it...

Sorry, but the flame from a pilot light will cause an ignition/explosion just as readily as a spark. True, they do have pressure-relief devices fitted that are quite reliable, but it isn't unknown for one to be faulty. Also, if the cylinder is being pressurised ( by external heat ) faster than...
