Sitting on Brittany Ferries waiting to depart St Malo, thought I’d say how accommodating they are with our lowered van. We always ask the loading marshalls if we can go on the main deck to avoid steep ramps to upper car decks and usually there’s room to squeeze us in. However on way out, ship...

drove up from Île de Ré yday, rained most of way and evening, great little site, Camping de Bilouris, right by the water. The Golfe is tidal but sheltered as it’s almost surrounded by land. And if you’re into kayaking as I am there’s Kerners Kayak base next door

here for a week, been to Île d’Oleron a couple of times, so thought we’d try the upmarket one, 16 euros just to get on the island. Dedicated cycle routes everywhere and cars give way at cycle crossings…….mostly Easy to see why Parisians have holiday homes here but it takes serious money to own...

is anybody going to Womad at end of this month and have a live in vehicle ticket in either the red or yellow field? I have a red field ticket, my daughter has a yellow field ticket, but we’d like to park up together I’m hoping to find someone who is willing to swap either a red for yellow or...

Today i did a few chores in the van, all fine, except the key now won't go into the ignition barrel I parked it on a slight slope and toed the front wheels into the kerb, took the key out, am pretty sure the steering lock locked Came back about an hour later and the key goes in a bit but nowhere...

Having fitted a new interior to my van last year, the original interior is now surplus to requirements I know some advice is to keep it, just in case we get nostalgic, but i can't see this happening and it's just cluttering up the garage It would be a shame to scrap it as it is in reasonable...

recently acquired and installed one of these in place of a 'porta potti' seat for better use of space Daz used the vinyl from old seat and so matches R&R bed attached with 3 x 6mm bolts thro' bulkhead really pleased with it

I am installing a PMS3 power control unit in my van together with new interior, Smev sink/hob, LED lights, compressor fridge etc The unit should be switched off when driving but there is a supply to the fridge, should you need it, via a standard 4 pin relay from the starter battery My question...

a set of 5 BRM wheels, 5x112, and good tyres for sale - now SOLD 4 of the BRMs came with the van when i bought it 9 years ago, switched to steels about 4 years ago; the wheels are a bit pitted but will likely polish up ok; they've been stored in a dry garage since the 'spare' BRM is new and...

thought i'd lost this but rediscovered it when I cleaned up the garage last weekend it came with the van when I bought it 9 years ago from the 2nd owner along with a whole pile of service receipts a great piece of the van's history/provenance and coincidentally it's the sierra yellow van 2nd...

we've got the original danbury setup using the seat cushions over the seats with the tabletop and other bits making up the bedbase ok for a night or two but too hard and prone to 'gapping', so I found an alternative, the lofasofa from the futon co which is a perfect fit and it folds up for...

I've put 2 speakers in mine to supplement the ones in the doors running off the original blaukpunkt radio converted by tadpole radio to 4x50w great sounds now and can still use the coffee/beer holders!

mild panic this morning had a nightsafe text and email from skytag, 'vehicle has moved from home zone...........call if you are not with the vehicle' as I was in the land of nod at 3 am when the message was sent, I rushed round the corner to the garage..............and everything was normal...
