Lots of people had those new JK tunnel awnings at Big bang last weekend.
Looks very good,lots of space.
Jk had problems with their old tunnel awnings and withdrew them from sale.
The new ones a far better and stronger,we have the frame jk awning and we are very happy with it, no problems at all.

If i was totally honest i would have to say i,m not a big fan of winter camping. I prefer to go camping when the weather is nice,the T4 is all set up for winter with propex double isulating, hot water heater etc but i still prefer to do other things in winter and start camping again when the spring ...

Thats ok then i thought that it had left a big puddle or something :o Just marking its spot mate :D its an air cooled thing :lol: Yeah was sad to see her go its been a great camper for us,but at the same time glad its gone to someone who loves these vans. Air cooled wont be as fast as water cooled b...

I just got one, this weekend and I'm not sure if I've got the idea right... It'll maintain 40mph or so up a steep incline in 4th, and it'll rev its bits off on the same hill at about the same speed in 3rd... So 3rd... is the way to go? Rev the thing? Also, do they all leak oil? Stopped off at my mu...

you could push the baot out abit and do as i have and fit a 5 way relay the way i have mine wired up is so when the ignition is on the stereo runs off the vehicle battery then when you switch off the ignition it switches over to run from the lesuire battery, that way when your driving the lesuire b...

I only had my van resprayed a year and a half ago and already a couple of seems are starting to show a bit of rust,its always a problem we are going to have with T25,s with all the panel joins that they have.
Taking mine back to the spray shop to get the rust removed and sprayed over soon.

for a replacement, you are looking at the thick end of £400, as for a recomended replacement model, you will be kinda limited to whatever size gap you have for a the fridge! Don,t i just know it :( I had to replace mine with a new one in the summer. One word of advice pleased get the fridge checked...

A decent electric heater draws about 1500 watts... That's 128 amps at 12 volt! You can't carry enough battery to run it and your alternator is rated at about 1/2 that with engine running. :twisted: Get the picture? :lol: Electric heat is worthless unless you have a mains hookup. IMHO, get a Propex ...

My problem is sorted.
It was the new cd player/radio that was draining the battery.
I have had a switch put in that kills all power to the cd player when the van is not in use.

2 small extingushers one in the back and one in the front,plus a fire blanket near the cooker.
You never think that you will use them but i did in July!
Always check them and make sure they are in full working order luckily mine was!.

Got the van booked in on Friday morning to get it so i can switch the power from the radio off completely,and also have a switch put in so i can run it off both batterys.
Will then see if it still goes flat at cromer,so i may need a jump start off someone if that dont work!

Mine had lots of bubbles and rust on it when i got it. Had it all done and sprayed for less than a grand, its not a show van by any means,but thats all good as i wanted something to go camping in and not worry about footballs been kicked against it etc. They are old vans so most of them will have su...
