For the last 10 days it has been hard to get a decent nights sleep due to the window literally kicking the van about. I braved the driving rain and wind just now and jumped into the bus and sat down with my back against the side wall. I am happy to report that it [...]
It appears that the 12mm pipework and fittings is actually 1/2″ and is more expensive than the 15mm parts. I will be using John Guest (JG) speedfit parts only from now on. I am not far from Magnum Motorhomes so will take a trip up there as soon as funds allow. The other reason I [...]

Removed some of the existing furniture so I could get to the windows and started spraying them. I just got a bog standard tin of Gloss Black car touch up paint, cleaned the windows then gave a very thin coat. Once this had dried (about 15 minutes) I put a thicker coat on and from [...]
