Just realised it is Halloween. I won’t have to put up with people knocking on my door all night or throwing eggs at my van. I also didn’t need to stock up with sweets which would end up being binned. Another Bonus of being a fulltimer without a house
I have found a decent Macerator at a reasonable price via ebay. Using this in combination with a 3 way valve, 100Liter tank and a long hose means toilet duties will be reduced from every 5 days to once a month and will be a much easier process. I will be purchasing all the tanks [...]
I have been concerned about having to put the grey water tank under the vehicle due to the possibility of it freezing in winter. I have now found a couple of methods that will make this unnecessary.
I have replaced the flyscreens in all the roof vents, I did one and it was a beatiful clean white and made the rest look grubby. It all looks good now. The supplier I mentioned in my last post was excellent and I would recommend them. I installed Windows 7 3 days ago and BOY [...]

The buses I am looking at have 3 windows down the side and one at the rear. These are single glazed windows so the vehicle will be cold in the winter, hot in the summer and condensation is a serious concern. I am looking at removing the rear to windows on both sides and the [...]
Here is a run down of the equipment I will be installing. This just covers the major cost items so far. I have not settled on a final layout for the van yet as I don’t know the full size of the vehicle until it is actually bought. I will be using copious amounts of [...]
I was initially looking for a cheap solution to this but have not been able to find one so have decided to go with these items from Cak Tanks. The decision at the moment is Propex Heatsource 2800 for hot air and the Malaga MkIII GE for the hot water. I was hoping to find [...]
I needed to do a new header for this site as the old one wouldn’t fit into the space. I had only one photo of my van so needed to clean out the background. This tutorial here was excellent and using this and Gimp got the background cleaned out in no time. Very handy tutorial.
