Van Conversion / Where to get Electrics sorted?
March 19, 2015, 09:05:38 AM
As you may know, I have recently bought an LDV Convoy. However, I have no idea about electrics at all. Does anyone know anywhere decently priced that would fit a similar system to Mikes in the UK?

Leisure Battery, 12v Fuse Box, Lights, Inverter etc

Cheers!

Van Conversion / Legalities: Gas Hob
March 13, 2015, 08:49:34 AM
Hey Guys,

I have just read this:

(3) No person shall use, or cause or permit to be used, in or on a
vehicle on a road any gas-fired appliance unless the vehicle is so
ventilated that-
(a) an ample supply of air is available for the operation of the
appliance; (b) the use of the appliance does not adversely affect the health
or comfort of any person using the vehicle; and
(c) any unburnt gas is safely disposed of to the outside of the
vehicle.

Which makes me ask the question, when installing a gas hob and LPG bottle, do you have to install an extractor fan or is the gas hob being near a door enough? Have any of you had to install extractor fans? I dont particularly want to but I don't know what I can get away with as i see that Mike installed one.

Cheers

Van Conversion / £2k to spend. Which van to buy?
March 10, 2015, 10:35:08 AM
Hey all,

I'm looking to buy a big LWB High top Panel van and convert it myself. I think my best choice would be a 05 plate LDV Maxus with roughly 100k on the clock. I think with a bit of time I could find one for this price.

But my question is what do you think is my best choice? and how many miles is too many miles on a van?

Any ideas welcome! I'm desperate to get started.
