just swapped all my strip lights for a 7 pound reel of leds that can be cut to size, it was cheap, simple and they are self adhesive on the back! the result was fantastic, all old lights on i was pulling over 20 amps from the batt, with all the leds on it was down to 1.4 amps!!!! wow pm me...

sorry forgot to add, must be warm weather, over 5degrees for the expanding foam to cure properly, you can use a blow heater but dont leave it unattended EVER, ive seen too many vans burn due to the pull on these heaters, the plug will melt before the trip switch kicks in! Summer is best...

ok so i have read all the advice and would like to add this, if your van is worth under 3000, then use expanding foam (the window fitting type) i have used both resin and expanding foam in several vans over 10 years and the expanding foam is cheeper and lasts longer! 4 inch gap between holes...

i am towing from south wales to Trowbridge tomorrow morning (sunday) the forcast is giving the wind speed as 16-20 mph winds, i understand that giving me a safe wind speed to tow in is a bit 'how long is a peice of string' but is this a safe wind speed?? i will be crossing the newer severn...

when towing along the van and car are fine but as soon as i stop the damper behind the hich pushes the van away from the car with a loud clunk! any ideas as to what this is?

ok so its broke according to the fitter, but how can i get another one without being charged 185!!!!!

Before i spend over 50 pound on a new one has anyone got a spare, cascade 2 interior gas switch, (the one with 3 lights and 2 rubber push buttons) will be willing to pay for shipping and the cost of the part? well you know what they say.....if you dont ask! bailey champagne 1993

i think its the fact that i carry nearly all the 'heavy' items in the boot of the car, awning, food, drink, clothing, and tv, solar pannels etc, this made for a low rear ride hight and caused the rear of the car to bottom out on bumps and rough road. i think i should perhaps leave the awning and...

i rally most weekends and cant be bothered to put up my standard porch awning, its almost as time consuming as the big awning! so i have been looking for a very small pdq type but even those are fiddely and require lots of pegging. so why cant someone invent a pop out cover over the door with a...
