    Monty the Red Campervan

    A quick update to this thread. We’ve decided to sell our campervan Monty. Of course it’s always a bit difficult to make this decision after nearly 14 years of ownership and constant improvement and maintenance.

    Vent speakers?

    I don’t often have rear seat passengers anymore. The speaker set up isn’t really loud enough for them though, but it’s fine for the front seat passengers. I imagine those with younger kids sitting in the back would have their own ICE with headphones perhaps listening to their own music.

    Vent speakers?

    https://www.classiccarstereo.co.uk/shop/classic-car-speakers/autosound-classic-car-stereo-speakers/7-x-5-dual-voice-coil-loudspeaker/ I fitted this dual voice speaker under the dash. It replaced the old factory speaker. This adds to the door speakers which weren’t enough on their own.

    Those hand waves.

    I saw one or two bays on my recent trip to Loch Laggan in Scotland and about half a dozen T25s all gave me a wave. I usually wave back but if I’m hanging onto the steering wheel with both hands it difficult 😅😂

    Rear opening windows

    When the weather's really hot we use these fans on the dash top. I have a 12 volt socket in the dash which powers them. As long as the engine's running the battery is OK. They are powerful and not noisy. I have some of that dash rubber matting underneath the fan just to stop any vibration noise.
