    Music switch on new Ducato

    Is that an option fit, as haven’t got one on mine. Must admit, often thought it would be useful to have an option to keep the radio/media etc on, after the ignition is turned off.

    Eco Flow Delta 2 Power pack

    So, have just bought a Anker Solix C1000. After initially thinking about an Eco Flow Delta 2, after looking at several reviews and you tube reviews etc, went for the Anker route. with the introductory offer taken into account, paid £749, so quite happy with that. It also has a 5 year guarantee👍

    Eco Flow Delta 2 Power pack

    Anyone have one of these? Been looking at them lately, as we tend to do a fair bit of off-grid camping, and having the facility for a live 240 v socket in the van occasionally is very tempting. With Black Friday comming up fast, there may be a few deals about. Any thoughts/experiences would be...

    Parking in Whitby

    Planning on spending a few days in the Whitby area next week and looking for any suggestions where would be suitable to park a 6.36m CampEvan. Has been a few years since we went to Whitby, and seem to remember that Whitby is not known for its love of Campervans/MH’s. Any pointers much...

    Dip Stick Location

    Picked up my series 8 in Dec 22 and gauge showing 90% full, it then dropped to 60% after approx 400 miles and then went back to showing 90% full after 900 miles, and has stayed on 90% full since, and now on 1500 miles! really don’t like relying on gauges, they are a good back up, that’s all. You...

    Lanoguard

    I think you’ll find it’s good for both, which is what I do.

    Lanoguard

    I have just received my kit, and am planning on doing my Campervan (Ducato) whilst it’s still newish. Have watched a few videos on YouTube, and it dose seem an effective way to help protect the underneath, and looks fairly easy to applym also reasonably priced. if it turns out ok, then am going...

    Using van in freezing Temps

    Tend to keep the heating on low through the night, and with waste pipes also lagged, as you say, should all be good👍 And of course a quick polish of the exhaust whilst scrambling underneath🤣😉😉

    Using van in freezing Temps

    Thanks for all the replies. Its probably me being a bit to cautious, as it’s a new van, and probably worrying too much🙈🤣 We do use our van all year round, but am always a bit nervous when the mercury drops to zero.

    Using van in freezing Temps

    Am thinking of going away for the weekend, and the weather forecast is showing a -1 for Saturday night where we want to go. Have a PVC with underslung water tanks, so not insulatered other than the thickness of the tank wall, although I have insulated the pipes that go from the tank to the...

    Another Tyre Question

    Hi, dropped an email to Continental tech dept, they said that the C was for Commercial tyre. Yes, on a Maxi chassis. But want to change anyway, as are rated as summer tyres, and ideally want something better in the wet/ colder conditions.

    Another Tyre Question

    We are due to pick up our new van on 8th December, and it is shod with Continental 215/75/R16 C tyres. Not the camping tyres (thank goodness) but these are summer tyres. As we plan to use Van all year round, want to get some all season tyres on asap. So, looked at getting the Continental Van...

    Tyres

    I know tyres are a very personal choice, but which 4 season tyres do people recommend?

    Tyres

    Hi all, we are due to collect our new Campervan in a couple of weeks time, and it has Continental tyres fitted 215/75 R16 C. Now, on our previous Camper, we also had continental tyres, but were 225/75 R16 CP. I wasn’t overly impressed with the ride to be honest, as found the Camper tyres a bit...

    Truma Diesel & Electric unit

    This. We have a T6.1 which has a Eberspacher fitted, and we experienced exactly the same problem. Fitted a new leisure battery, and it’s been fine since👍

    Truma Diesel & Electric unit

    The van has an underslung Lpg tank, so that would then be used purely for cooking, so would last longer before having to find a station that has Lpg. Fridge is a compressor one, so no issues there. So, the diesel truma route for the heating and hot water seems to make sense. Am just interested...

    Truma Diesel & Electric unit

    Hi all, our new van has just arrived at the factory, and so will be going into build shortly. When we originally spec’d the Van, we opted for a lpg/electric Truma unit, for the hot water/ heating etc. However, now thinking about changing it to a Diesel/electric Truma instead. A bit more...

    My new Transporter.

    I bought a T6 end of last year, and have been very pleased with it. have also been thinking about getting the Calipers painted/powder coated etc. Not even thinking about getting involved myself with brakes etc, but does anyone know the best way to get them painted. It must be a real pain to mask...
