Will you be at Bus stopover?
 
We've got one little'un with another on the way. This is something that I'll have to sort out sooner rather than later otherwise we can't use it when the next one tips up in August!
 
Just wondered if you were there could I have a look at your van and get some pic's of my own so I know what to start fabricating etc. We'll be taking ours this weekend as well.
 
Cheers

Thanks for that, not desperate at the moment.
 
First problem for today is tracing a gas leak, checking cooker, understanding why the fridge wont work, blah blah blah
 
Wonder if we will actually have it working in time for the off tomorrow! Confused

Just in case, if you plan on LPG'ing it my uncle is an approved fitter in Sheffield.
 
Mainly does them on P38 Range Rovers and big Audi's.
 
all the modern stuff is all sequential injectors and if I remember rightly he can map them more accurately than the factory ECU for petrol.

depends what you mean by update, karmann pretty much got it spot on with the interior, I personally don't like the colour of the gipsy interior but thats just me which is why I got a cheetah
 
 
I replaced this bathroom
 
 
with this
 
 
 
and replaced the rear skylight with a big heki one

ah I see, yep can be done, I know of one with retro vinyl with piping on the rear seating area
 
the interior can all be stripped out to leave an empty box but note that most of the gas, water and electrics run in the cavity between the vw van floor and the interior floor which makes it harder to relocate appliances about should you wish to
 
you have pm Wink

Lov'in that revamped bathroom.
 
Where did you get the units from and are they a straight swop?
 
Mines still got the original sink but all the other stuff (toilet, vanity unit, cover under sink) is all missing. Just got a great big mirror where the vanity unit should be and it looks a bit of a dog's dinner, especially in a morning when I see my reflection LOL.
 
Main reason for getting a gipsy was to have a bathroom for sorting out children, rather than trying to hover them around in portaloo's.
 
Could you let me know, cheers

all caravan based stuff, there are some tricky bits like moving the corner, moving the heating and the passenger side fixings of the sink and vanity unit being outside the wardrobe
