Hi All,

This is the second hand camper we just bought and there is the body work to sort out during the winter.

Great vans but petty about the fuel economy.

Big vans all round and will literally last forever if cared for

Shame about the typical cancer tell tail brown marks
Once they start they rust away far too quickly

Nice. The important thing now is to get out and enjoy it! :have fun:

I plan on taking the body work back to bare metal and do the repairs and give the whole van a total respray and it should last another 20 years or so, I am also going to buy a second hand engine and fully strip it down and rebuild it so it will be like new so once it is all done I am sure there will be plenty of trips that we will enjoy many trips to europe

Gas powered water heater

I am slowly going through the bits and pieces to make the camper into a nice reliable holiday vehicle, I have a few things that I am unsure about as I am new to all of this, there are two water tanks one either side with what looks like four water inlets that have the hozelock type connectors but unsure as to what all four are four, if I can get any assistance or advice that would be great, I am also looking for a new gas powered water heater as the one in the camper has a split section on the heat exchanger, If anyone knows of a place that sell them at a reasonable price that would help a great deal, I also have the table missing and the support leg but unsure where to buy an off the shelf one, I am thinking of getting a stainless steel one made and devise a mechanism to have a quick fit and remove of the table when its not in use.

Thanks in advance

Paul
