    Thanks all, I think I'll keep it inside the van for now.

    Gas bottle in engine bay

    Is it a completely mad idea to mount the gas bottle for the propex heater in the left hand cavity of the engine bay? Would save me bags of room under the seat as I've only got 3/4 rock and roll. Worried this might be a fire risk though. Any one do this? Thanks

    Fuse Ratings - 1970 bus

    Thanks. My owners manual dated Jan 1970 downloaded from thesamba.com doesn't have that key underneath it. Does that mean it may all be 8amp? It also doesn't mention 16amp spares. Only 8.. Maybe I've answered my own question?

    Fuse Ratings - 1970 bus

    Hi. My electrics are all screwed up. Does anyone know the correct fuse ratings for each of the circuits on the fuse board? I've got a 1970 bus. Thanks in advance.

    Propex

    I've got a 1970 dormobile which we like to use year round. Last year we used a 2kw fan heater over winter but it bearly scratched the surface - unless you were sat right in front of it. Thinking about installing propex heating - but does it really make that much of a difference? What about if...

    Front hub - 1970 Earlybay

    Hi, I'm planning on doing some work to the brakes at the weekend and need to know whether my front hub uses a two locknut system with a lock tab - or a locknut with an allen screw lock. If two locknut - what size is the nut? And where can I get locking tabs? My van was registered in April 1970...

    Oil Change - type and quantity

    Hi, after always having had the garage do them I've decided to do my first oil change next week - but, what oil do I need and how much do I need to buy? My user manual is suggesting SAE 30 which is apparently now used as lawnmower oil so I'm not sure that's right! I've got a 1970 T2 Bay with...

    Wheel clamps - vehicle security

    Thanks everyone - I'd never heard of the pedal lock so I'll definitely look into that. Are they quick to attach/detach each time?

    Wheel clamps - vehicle security

    I'm looking for a good wheel clamp for our van. We have the dome hub caps and many I've seen don't look like they'd attach well. Which one do you use? I want something to deter the van being towed away by a rogue! Any other vehicle security tips welcome. Thanks in advance

    vango awning

    We've got a Vango Airaway Kela. It's perfect for the two of us and a large dog. It comes with a 2 man bedroom for additional sleeping space if you need that. We never use it though as the van bed is big enough for us so we've removed it and the living space left is fine for a table, chairs and a...
