Does anybody know if on the left side of the van where the metal proapane door was added, was the power outlet and vents also added? i dont see those on other dormobiles. If not how do the other dormobiles hook up to power?

I also found another porsche phone dial and have mounted it on the front. looks great! pics to come

My van got towed into the shop as of last friday. I should get it back in a few weeks, lowered in the rear, running, stopping.
cant wait!

I went to the shop today to see progress on the van. The rear is lowered 2 splines, and had the spring plates notched. New brake's all around, new shocks, clutch and e-brake cables. New heater boxes etc. It should be ready tomorrow! i will take more pics when i get it home, stay tuned....

what is the offset of that monster teledial on the front. it surely wont go on. it looks like a deep dish et 15 off a one year only rear of a 944. looks the business tho

the front spare wheel and tire combo is not staying, i got it given to me and i am going to keep it on there untill i can find a 7" wide one. The wheel is an 8" rear which i am not running on the bus, but looks better for now than the old rusty steelie

4/6 I think means it sleeps 4 and seats 6 yours is a 4/6 interior.

And that toilet bucket & enclosure is a pretty rare optional extra - a dormoloo, theres another guy on here that has one.

Very cool Dormy! 8)

Awesome Dorma!

Mine has very few optional extras, and not even an icebox anymore. But I have learnt where my table should go - Cheers Loxy!! :wink:
