Our original fridge install wasn’t as efficient as it could’ve/should’ve been – so after some research we made some changes Some extra fridge insulation, including the compressor compartment, upgrading the fans, and managing airflow (source and exit) has made massive difference in efficiency (both in terms of power usage and…
In our next build, we want to use PVC edging on the lightweight ply to match the Morland / Vohringer ply finishes and get a professional finish. We’ve been experimenting with various techniques and products and have come up with, what we believe, is a brilliant and working solution See…
Build index HERE As we’ve mentioned, we’re planning a bigger campervan build in 2020, and pretty much committed to this, though the details are sketchy as to when and what chassis, we know what we want and a rough design. To be honest, there are lots of bits that fit…
TPMS is Tyre Pressure Management System – and it is a system that monitors your tyres. Last week, the wife was driving the car that is equipped with TPMS, and for the first time ever the alarm went off. She called me (hands free!) and I said it could be…

We’re talking late 2020 early 2021, so just ideas phase for now, but if all goes to plan we’ll have more time and can plan longer trips 🙂 Watch this space. However, we’ve not…
Well, just come back from a few days in Dorset in the van, doing some cycling, and what a lovely time we had! Stayed at Lytchett Manor campsite which is great, and booked a cheap grass pitch but got upgraded to a fully serviced pitch. Pointless lol – the solar…
Okay, it now over, and now time to use the van. We borrowed ideas from many blogs and websites, videos and forum posts, and each helped us design “our” van. So to pay back I’ve made a video of ours with enough detail so that anyone looking can see what…
OK – this is the last job (I think) Storage is at a premium, so we’ve got to be clever. The drawer above the fridge is small, but we need to store a lot. So 2 breakfast bowls, one large salad bowl, 2 big plates, one small plate, 2 glasses, …
