Hello From Adelaide

Postby petehep » Sun Jun 24, 2018 2:51 am

Hi Folks
I'm from Adelaide (originally Glasgow but I moved here 5 years ago), my wife and I bought ourselves a 2011 LWB medium roof minibus at christmas and converted it into a camper. We built a permanent bed into it and put a slide out kitchen under it that slides out the rear. Also fitted 300w solar panels, 260AH batteries, 90 liter water tank, fridge, freezer, TV... etc.
Body of the van is amazing, no rust, but when we went on our very first trip the crank angle sensor went... while that was getting fixed the boys noticed the turbo pipe was split, the cooling fan was the wrong size and was hitting the radiator and whoever had worked on it last had not fitted an engine mount nut/bolt and the engine had jumped off.
got it serviced last week and all brake discs and pads needed done.
This is not a complaint - we love this thing, it drives like a bloody sports car now, goes like the clappers.
I want to join your forum because now i want to make changes to the actual mechanicals but I'm not up to speed on vans, i know my way around cars and bikes, but vans are a bit different to me and you folks are the experts.
I'm an IT manager, but i have no idea how to use forums cause i never have in the past... please keep me right
