Mk1 LWB Ex-Feuerwehr Camper Conversion

[Muttley]

Yes I see its a shame to make possible rust in a rust free van, not so for me though

[Anton2k3]

Looking good there. See what you mean about the toilet. If it were me doing it, I would have some sort of mechanism so the toilet could slide forward enough to empty it, then slide and lock back in to place once the cartridge was back in if you get me?

i like that idea

Cracking job, i do like how this thread is going.... we can almost hear the gears working in your head Luke.. .....

If there is a bit of space left behind the loo, you can always stash the toilet chemicals, loo paper, a loo brush, air freshener and the reading material there.... ....

had a spare hour this morning - got the pedal box mounted in place needed some slight mods (due to this having the early pre70 bulkhead) but fingers crossed it will line up
next job drill the hole for the column X marks the spot

It really must be a joy to work on a mk 1 with no rust!

Yet another great project, keep up the great work can't wait to see this one progress, that van looks mint.

cheers are you bringing your van to Transitmania this one will be there doubt it'll be finished tho

Bit of progress

did i mention i got the ZIG off aln101tf well it arrived - just got to decide where to put it


today i took this LPG twin tanks off a mk6 transit it should fit ok underneith the mk1 it's a bit bigger than i would have liked but it was for nowt all being well i'll be able to use the take off on the top of the tank to run all the gas appliances

[MR BigBeefy LDV Guru]

luke you must let me know how you get on with the gas tank for the cooker etc

but one thing i must say you have to pay road duty on that gas thus the tax man is getting a cut of summat he shouldnt

unless you have another way of filling it using bottles

[Luke]

still works out cheaper with tax than buying bottles link to origanal discussion thread

i'll have a proper look at the cyls today and check that the plug isnt an over pressure valve or something thats needed

[chep]

hows the conversion coming on then luke ? any more progress with it ? more pics please

[Luke]

it's on hold at the moment concentraiting on the cossy van - once i've got that back roadworthy i'll be back on with this

[transitgeoff]

at least your priorities are right

[Luke]

no real progress but i now have a PAS box for this and a mk3 bracket so i'll be getting on with the rhd conversion - nothing to stop me

last week i had a quick look at fitting the LPG tanks and measured up and they will go in ok opposite the fuel tank the bit i wanted to take off as an outlet i now think is an overpressure valve but i had another thought the outlet pipe that takes off from the btm of the tank is threaded hopefully i can undo the fitting and the pipe will come out with it so i can either chop it down or get another fitting to allow me to take off the gas
fingers crossed
