    I had a fleetwood identical to yours and it was riddled with damp coming from the rear of the van through the awning rail. Keep an eye on that. Not sure if it was the light, but it looked like there was some damp on the ceiling above the left bed?

      @@iainbostock-frith4684 I joined the indicator wire near the front before it splits into two so you only use one wire make sure you insulate the wire after I used heat shrink because of the metal base as any exposed wire will short on the metal. To record on to the card is simple it has a micro USB port on it just simply plug it into a pc or laptop it will automatically recognise it and simply transfer the file. I have three sound cards hidden in the chassis. One for the engine, bell and horn

    Both L T AEC / PR Routemaster RM , RML did have dust bin hub caps on the rear wheels from new until 1972 when they removed them as LT felt that they were a hazard to the general public as there had been in accidents in the past of them popping off and cutting people's legs.

    • @bodienutt1
      @bodienutt1 10 месяцев назад

      In the winter the panel will still put some charge in to the battery enough to run the 12v lights, toilet flush, TV etc but you must turn off lights when not in use. But for the fridge and heating you'll have to run it on gas. If we are off grid I refill my gas bottle myself saves me ££ so I don't mind having the heating on

      Thank you. The idea for us was to buy a used van for a couple of years then upgrade but 5 years later we still have it. To be honest we love the van so much we'll keep it for another year or two the we'll proberbly upgrade. I'd recommend buying a used van to see how you get on and then upgrade as you'll probably have a few scrapes here and there. I've gone through 3 jockey wheels lol

  • @englishrose1122
    @englishrose1122 Год назад

    It looks good but I agree on the upholstery needing a change to something more modern. Loads of the older caravans have dated fabrics it seems but £1000 sounds a lot but I suppose if you buy a couple of sofas it would be more, I have just bought two for my sitting room. You did so well to get the caravan at that price, its in very good condition. In my kitchen my husband used a vinyl wrap on the cabinet doors in a slate grey concrete finish, its amazing its the second makeover in last 7 years with this material and it doesn’t show chip or show fingerprints due to the mottled concrete look. Maybe you could have a go in another part of the van.
