    Camping heat, gas or diesel????

    Camping heat, gas or diesel????

    I used to have a Propex under the Westy bed in the old bus, gas connection to the cooker unit behind the driver's seat. It was nice and warm, but very noisy. As I've made the decision not to have gas in the deluxe, I've now gone to a Chinese 2kW diesel heater under the cab seat, which is...

    Don't forget I've got a non-stock shift rod and an engine/gearbox raise.

    1967 Neptune Blue Deluxe

    1967 Neptune Blue Deluxe

    I think I've finally sorted the gearshift issues, hopefully. Drilled another dimple in the rear shift rod about 5mm towards the gearbox, so effectively shortening the shift rod. Goes into all gears, most especially reverse which was the issue. While the front was up in the air, yet again, I...

    How far do your cab doors open?

    Tachometer

    Seat repair

    I think you may struggle to get the horizontal seamed covers like you've got, but TMI do good quality seat covers.
