Surprised to see you say pv troublesome ,be interesting to know what problems you have had with them,I survive power wise on mine,although I have found that the only way to keep up with the demand is to have large ie over 100watt size ones,I agree that small panels are not the answer,ok for keeping batts ticking over but no good for keeping a good state of charge when constantly used for our ever demanding electronic gadgets,
Be interesting to see your gas powered generator ,is that a home made conversion or a brought one,  RR

Smashing idea your conversion ,passed it on to my bro who's about to convert his own lwb sprinter,unfortunately mine had a special lock on rear doors and no keys,being an ex 2 cell prison van(sprinter)'so I blanked rear doors off,would def do something like yours if I ever did another convert,I kept both cells but took door off one and made a small galley in it,the other I kept the door on and use it as my toilet and shower room,it tends to give it a tardis type effect ,I shut off half the sliding door and installed a large sink,will post some pics as soon as able,RR

I do tie shoe in the mornings,is that any good,😄

Well neat,best practical solution I think I've seen,I take it the table leg locating sprog removable,RR

Aye Canopus,lived this lifestyle for ever,never grown up,would never live in a brick,many many adventures both here in this country and France n Portugal ,though not been abroad recently.wouldn't have it any other way this life,lots more good times than bad even though the latter does crop up now and again,words from Jesus built my hod rod by Ministry sums it up,Ain't no good being where you are unless you can get away from it,Let's hit the fucking road,ding a ding dang ect,RR

My other half just learned to play the didgeridoo ,well I say just took her a year to get the breathing right,good on her well commited,I play the guitar badly lol so we occasionally get on the local beach lite fire and have a jam,can't beat it,keep music live ohhyesss,

Hi Canopus,just like to say hello as well fromRR,new here myself so looking forward to hearing about your hopefully future adventures,live the dream

Meant to say before that I haven't yet caught anyone on camera for either fly tipping or just generally chucking crap out,it's normally positioned into the trees and quite low,but maybe I could work for the council as a undercover crap chuckerouterer spy heehee,that be ok till they find out the culprits that is,ha,RR

Cool,way to go workin from your van,RR

Unfortunately due to the nature of me work I park as near as poss to save fuel costs so ultimatly find laybyes my only option,yeah I do sometimes do a bit of clearing if the laybye bin has nuff room,it can be interesting sometimes as I put one those camera traps out to see what wildlife turns up overnite,normally the ubiquitous foxes n rats n rabbits,n the odd stoat,

Yeah should be like that here true enough,most laybye ones I come across are full to brim,yeah that's what I normally do get rid of it before it builds up,don't take long for tins to smell,esp in the summer,waters allways at a premium ,and if are washed out don't take long for sink drain to chuck up,esp when driving and the draught blows up the pipe lol,no easy solution I suppose just interesting to see how other van folk get on RR

Must admit I'm a bit lazy when it comes to recycling my rubbish when in van which tends to be more all less all the time as that's where I live lol,I should really get into the habit of washing my tin cans yeah another lazy eating scenario ,just a lot easier when on own and spend a lot time in lay-bys ,bins tend to be the norm,I do try to avoid all the wrappings involved but again not allways easy,how do any of you deal with this prob,the other thing was the amount of rubbish that is actually dumped in and around lay-bys is disgusting,during my river stays we actually started cleaning the banks up more for animal welfare ,feel like should be doing the same on the roadside,but at the end of the day this really the councils prob,there is a keep Britain tidy ( the big clean up website) and they will actually send out heavy duty bin bags , for a communal tidy up telling them what you actually found and naming and shaming the manufactures packaging involved,good idea,anyway at least I do put my crap in bins provided' it just wondered if anyone has ideas on which foods to get that involve less waste,bearing in mind the limited cooking facilities in a small  vantrav.RR

Great idea,must do my profile,just getting hang of this,that and weak phone signal to iPad wifi thingy,I'm in the East Sussex area,have plenty tools ,skills n welding gear,so anyone need a hand ect,ere I am will help any fellow vantravpeeps out RR

Nice,that's what you call a house on wheels,

Sex on the road,very dangerous ,tried it once ,got arrested ,heee,sorry il get ma coat,
Jokes aside,it used be great,guess I'm to old now, :'(good luck to you young uns though
