For build index, see HERE In our NV200 we fitted an electric dump valve so that we can empty the grey waste from inside the van – no more getting wet when its raining or having to bend down to turn the tap on or off. Simply flick a switch…
Well, as people still go on at us thinking we’re never going away (!) – we never normally mention mini UK trips which the NV200 is perfect for. To quieten the naysayers – here is a “typical” mini trip for us! The NV, as ever, was perfect. Small enough; big…

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…
Self build index here In our current van, we used lightweight ply and the “standard” campervan method of edging which is using a slot router to cut a groove, and then hammer in t-edge edging. This can work quite well and works for cupboard doors and table edges, But, in…
