Cool-can the fridge still be re-wired to work off our wiring as is an american import (does this mean it would be an american appliance? Surely it must be possible to run an american import on a uk campsite other wise what happens with all the americans who bring their new rvs over to tour england?

Hi, I know that the american imports run at 110 volts, and out camp sites are at 240 v. is it as easy as buying an adapter to go on the lead from the camp site hook up to the van pin or is it a case of the van needing to be re-wired to uk spec? And if it is re-wired to uk spec would an...

Hello, Does anyone have, or know where i can find a picture, or sketch of a camper engine with each piece clearly labeled (like a 'ladybird' book of the engine!) Just something that shows things like 'flywheel', 'fanbelt' 'bottom pulley' but in the context of the engine and its location in the...

Yep you guessed it - the one on monday hasnt got them! Didnt notice til i compared with an another import, same year, same colour but with the indicators and when i started looking came accross some more without. like you say, the majority imports had them so wondered if it was something...

Just out of interest/curiosity Why do some campers, early all the way through to end of production have the indicators on the side of the doors and rear corners and some dont? I originally thought that it was only USA imports on earleis due to no rear indicators, but some lates have them, and...

Cheers for the offer - unfortunately its about 3 hours journey away. Its one of the reasons i wanted photos of the underneath as a form of initial 'screening' before going to view! Again thanks for the offer though - never seems to be any that come up nearby - in fact the only one we have...

Just seen another 78, same model as well and its in a colour called dakota beige. Pretty much looks the same as ivory and the van we are going to look at to me - does anyone know if this is this just another name for the same paint/colour?

good one. looks like its ivory to me - its not even close to anything else! hopin to get more pics of the important bits tom.

Sorry - the 2l engine has defo been replaced with a 1600 and is also unleaded! Thats a top link - i wish i had access to the docs before we went to see it. (Seller moving away is the reason for vehicle being sold so all docs with the car!)-however the site is now one of my 'Favourites'. At...

Ok, so lets also assume i have a look in there and it appears the paint job is the same accross the van, inside and out - for example it was done when the 2l engine was changed for the 1600 one. :? Based on the fact that its been used for a couple of years MINIMUM since any potential spray...

Hi, Sorry if in wrong section - but to me re-spraying well is pretty technical. Im going to look at a LHD van at the weekend. Was imported from texas about 4 years back, current owner has had for 2 years.3 owers in total The current owner has said that they THINK its had a respray at some...

Hi, Cheers - however my budget really is stretched at £6500 for a tin top, and thats for a very tidy outside with some camping interior, as we would need to use the rest of our budget on drive away awning etc to be able to use for camping. We can only stretch a little higher if its a very well...

Hi all, A few of you have given some good advice about looking for a camper, but alas due to one reason or another im still without one. Therefore, would be obliged (possibly with the rest of the country) if people could keep us in mind if anything comes up. We are after something with a very...

Nice! Must feel good to see all that work in the context of the van as a whole! Looking forward to more pics

I have emailed you as at work at the mo and having difficulties with the pics (keep getting thrown off site) many thanks!

Dont get too excited - we arent that big outside the localish areas. im the bass player in kilto take (shameless plug :oops: ) signed to Medical Records end of last year - they have just put a double A side single out....weve donated all the money from it to kidney research. Up til now all...

Hi, Thats not a bad idea and something i hadnt really considered before (ive been trying to stay away from rolling 'resto' plans.) I went and had a look on their sight and i think that as this one needs a new gear box as currently poping out, does need quite a bit of cosmetic work outside (i...

Cheers Araon. Ill definately be going to Santa pod - prob on the sunday. ref what i want: As ive said before what im after isnt that specific van wise - other than a being bay! Any year, doesnt have to be early, crossover ad late are also fine. Needs to have a pop top-but again style of roof...

Is £6.5k to £7k an unrealistic amount for what i want then? :cry:

'why fill in the vents, leave the pressing in? Why fill over a gap? Why not fit the slider cover for photo's?' i think these are probably the questions im badly asking!!?? :oops: why bother doing that when its so obviously the first thing most people with even limited knowledge (ie me!) will...
