Thank you all for your advice, I shall order some 185/14c tyres. Any recommendations on which brand to use?

Yeah I didn’t really get your logic there static? Every resto I have done always starts with making the bodywork/chassis solid before even considering any of the mechanical stuff. No point putting a shiny engine into a rotten body/chassis.

Hi, how does this work? It doesn’t seem to have the fold up cushion piece so how do you climb in when the bed is down?

I’ve just measured mine and it is 32.5 inches wide so should fit your space no problem 👍

Living in Devon and regularly travelling to the North Devon and North Cornwall coast, we see a lot of VW buses. Loads of Bays, T25’s and occasionally splitties. We always wave to anything aircooled and maybe the odd T4 if they wave first.

They also make the same unit with the fridge on the L/H side which would work for RHD vans. If you do go for this, just check how far out your rock and roll bed comes. Mine is the standard Westy bed but I had to take about 10mm off the seat cushion to get it to fit without touching the unit when...

Mine was from Camit designs: https://camitdesign.com/campervan-fridge-pod-023-right-hand/. Really good value. They come in pre cut kit form so you assemble it and paint it yourself. I bought the plywood one, varnished the top and painted it with cuprinol. The 023 unit fits a bay perfectly:

I’m going to North Cornwall, Padstow area this Saturday for a week in our early bay. We regularly visit this area of Cornwall as we live just up the road in Devon. Where abouts are you staying?

Hi everyone, I have just purchased a caymen air drive away awning for my early bay. What do I need to buy to connect it to my gutter rail? Thank you Andy

Just read the whole article. Some really good info there. Thank you for sharing it.

Definitely sounds more like brakes binding to me

What colour is your bay? Mine looks a very similar colour and I’m trying to work out the colour code.

I’ve been with just campers for 4 years now. Never paid more than £90 a year for my insurance. The 10% discount on anything from just kampers that you get with the insurance policy is great to have.

You said you have broken down the carb and all good. Did you change the gasket on top of the carb? Is it a Solex carb? It could be the float height needs setting correctly.
