Re: What product to fit sunroof to fibreglass?

WIll try and get some picks up today.

Are they seam-sealers? SO I'm guessing I should use those AFTER I've adhered the sunnie to the van?

Re: 12V Heating? Heaters in general?

Thanks for that - certainly no intention of leaving anything on overnight - just chill in the mornings etc?

12V Heating? Heaters in general?

Hey guys,

What are the popular methods of heating in a van then?! Retaining heat with thermo mats for a start?

I've seen loads of 12V goodies on the bay, but not sure what you guys are using?

'Gen me up right nice!!

Re: Leisure Battery Average Life on a trip?

I have a Devon Conversion.

I just bought it hence the coolbox/fridge! Haven't figured out what's what yet!!! :D

The console on the interior has a switch for the fridge - I'm assuming this switches the fridge on via the 12v [off the alternator?] What's the leisure battery for then?

Stripped out the entire upper sections which were in good order - fair bit more work involved than I thought, but you all know the score - once you've gone past the point of no return . . . . . :D Nice to get a chance to see th...

Re: Not a Noobie anymore! A few questions though.

I had a quick look around the roof area just now and basically it looks like a set of boards attched to the metalwork via screws? Is this about right? Then it's a case of taking them down and stripping off the material and glue and re-fixing?
