very nice that honey
i just dont know how the common people manage with just one side door

It saves having to walk around to the other side

[Honey monster]

My brother said the doors will make it easy to get the pallet forks through when lifting her on to the scrap wagon. (He likes vw)
Waiting on some glue and graphite colour carpet now.
And its a bike carrier you pair of cheeky gits.

[Honey monster]

I am going to fit a reversing camera(In case I hit the towel rail ) and like the ones that replace the number plate light, Anyone fitted these as im unsure how to get the cable from the door to the van itself, Any ideas.

cant you run it through the cables that go from the rear door too the pillar the rear light is on

[Honey monster]

Not sure, The plug for the camera is quite large so ill have to order one and try it.
Another question,
Is it possible to turn off the outside low temp warning that comes up on the dash when it gets a bit nippy, I know its cold and dont need some poxy warning light and buzzer to remind me.

[belly]

If you go into settings you can turn the warning chimes off

[Honey monster]

Cheers Belly,Stopped chiming with amber light but still chimes when red i comes on.
Was hoping to get all the floor done today but had a hell of a job to get the old flooring up.

[tonylem]

Had the same problem with the floor. None of the screws would shift, so I just left it down and built over it

[Guts]

Very nice van, I always wondered what mine would look like after a clean and now I know. I’m converting mine to a camper/day van as well but progress is very slow – hopefully get more done when the clocks change and there’s more daylight to play with after work. Twin doors are great but I’ve found it difficult to plan furniture etc. because the doors are massive so anything permanent has to fit neatly in the back section somehow.

you dont have to use them both

[tonylem]

Guts, you could build your kitchen over the sliding door you don't generally use, then use the sliding door for access to the rear of the unit for changing water, gas etc.

[Guts]

Yeah, bigjohnthomas & tonylem you're both very right and that was my original plan but once you've used two, there's no going back!

[bigjohnthomas]

x2 i couldnt manage with just one now it makes it so much better for the tripehounds with all the doors open there's just not enough air with only one miserable door

[turbo-555]

nice van!!

what are you using to insulate?

how thick is it?


I have to do it on mine pretty soon...I just started looking around for options

[Honey monster]

Sill at it, The only good thing is the glue for carpet and insulation makes you very happy.


Waiting in LED lights for the back and rear view camera before I can finish the carpeting.
Turbo-555, The insulation is 6mm thick from campers online.
