My Iveco has gone to Rust in Peace, the dreaded tin worm strikes again, and apparently, rust is the Achilles heel of this otherwise fine vehicle. So after looking around I put a deposit on a Fiat Ducato, but on its way back from MOT, a quarry wagon dumped a load of rubble on it, and eventually...

Any one planning for a Christmas getaway, assuming my van gets through it's MOT in December, was thinking of going up to that free campsite up on the north west of Scotland, if the memory cells burst into action and I can remember where it is. Help anyone?

100 watt solar panel for sale with mppt controller. £100. Own delivery to be arranged.

So I was with friends at the weekend at, West Midlands Show-ground (Shrewsbury) and I spotted this rather nice Showmans living van, sadly the owner didn't show while i was there, so was unable to get a look inside.

Since the Lanark meet I have been overhauling and updating my electrical system. At the meet, Phil(Admin) had found a fault I had not noticed, just a loose connection, but in a low voltage situation, that is a No-No. I have made some new connectors out of 8mm copper pipe, taken out the consumer...

I have been helping a friend to remodel her camper, and I was going to install the electrics for her, but she has gone against my advice and bought metal box's intended for dry wall mounting, she has brushed metal sockets and she wants everything flush mounted. My fear is that the temperature...

When I built my previous van, I opted for C-Tek batt to batt charging as it also has an mppt solar controller built in, I also had 2 cheap leisure batts to get by with. Then I started converting my next van, stripping the previous coach built of parts (sold that chassis) For this van I added a...

Now I don't mind the snow, after all it is winter, and I seem to remember as a brat, that the winters were even harder then. But what I can't get used to, is all these eejits, who year on year, take their vehicles out covered in snow. The only clear bits are made by the wipers, and a small hole...

Yes it's Thursday, and now I'm going to load up the van, and have a few days out at last, :lol-049::lol-049::lol-049: before the men in the white coats get here:ninja:

Take a couple of redundant candle holders, some timber, paint, screws, glue, and LED's, sprinkle with fairy dust...........

Remember this, well I've just been out for a 6 day jaunt, and my new composting toilet has exceeded all my expectations. The worst smell coming off it was the smell of fresh varnish, and the only time there was an unpleasant smell was at the time of "producing" I did occasionally get a whiff of...

It's something we all have to deal with, whether you have a built in or stand alone toilet, and as I said recently Pee + Poo + chemicals = black sewage. After much reading up on the subject, I decided to construct a Composting Toilet, I want to be a bit more "eco" with my waste, and I don't want...

Well this morning, I popped into my local Tesco for a loaf. Pulled into the car park and parked for an easy get out, and was one space away from a nice looking coach built. Got out and gave the dog instructions not to leave any evidence if he ate a burglar, locked the van, then turned round to...

I have just returned from a weekend rally, and very pleasant it was too. Good company, nice country location, good weather, and my new travelling companion!:dance:

No, not those kind, the ones that tell us what speed we are doing. Now mine like most is a little on the fast side, so when it says I am doing forty, I'm doing about 37ish, so the thing I can't get my head round, is, how does this affect the recorded mileage as shown on the speedo. Is there too...

I've been researching dash cams on't Tinterweb, have looked at loads, and read so many reviews, that my head is full of pain:pc: Any one got any good recommends of any dash cams, without breaking the bank and doesn’t have reliability issues. :bow:

Just had a weekend out, and slept Thursday night in shadow of Ribblehead Viaduct, then onto C&cc meet at Skipton. It was a bit cold and wet, but wrapped up and went for walk along the Leeds/Liverpool canal. Sunday night in a favourite lay-bye on A6, then home to plan the next run...

So, Sat and Sun read a lot of posts about batteries, made decision on batts to get. Monday ordered new batts from Alpha Batteries, and did some preparatory work on batt box. Batts arrived Tuesday and fitted them. Nice bit of discount for being a member of our forum, job done...

Just had a five night break out in the van. A wet and windy night, you know where. Then onto C&cc meet at Skipton was overwhelming here, too many caravans on a motorhome meet! Then onto a friends park-home and she did a stir-fry for us, yep, just the two of us It was good to get out...

Does any body know the finished thickness of 300gsm glas-fibre cloth?:help:
