Gower was great
Robbie, i did think about chimney flap as i have fitted them on other stoves i built. I was advised against it as it could cause CO build up. I think though as i have a CO alarm i will fit one when i reduce the flue size as i rerally need to keep the fire going over night as its bloody cold when i get up for work atm.

Differnet subject
fuel and power...

20/23 MPG? sound about right?
on Mway i was down to 45mph in places :/ I have been told this is right but surely not ? i would expect a purpose built load lugger to handle a reasonable speed.

cheers in advance

Speed and power is about right for a mk5 luton, my mk3 luton was the same slow slow slow

look at the frontal aspect....like pushing a house LOL..try and cut the front down to an angle, may help!!

...and double check all the bushes, linkages etc as might not just be the drag/wind you felt!!

in need of updates
finally sanded kitchen doors..

The 2 seater sofa was nice for me but we are now a couple and using the van for festivals and weeks away so I decided a U shaped seating area would be more practical,

which meant moving the logburner.

latest little project removing the rollershutter and fitting a solid awning/door


I need to sort out gas struts to hold it up but it works for now

will dig out some more pics later..

those cupboard doors are wicked mate. Bit of varnish perhaps for that warm wood feeling

[robbie.cee]

well done mate!!!

just a thought, but If ypu ran a copper pipe thru burner amd use a Rad and heating pump, co7ld make a back boiler set up so burner also heats rad up via hot pipe amd small pump or any central heating pump

also diff ratio can be changed for better motorway mpg
