We are gradually changing what was a panel van, we have r&r bed & got foam, which we have throws over for now while trying to decide how to get it covered, hubby likes vinyl & i like the striped deck chair material. Hubby reckons compromise might be striped vinyl but i havn't drank enoug...

dont seem to matter which way they go and rarely meetin the middle.

That's being a curtain twitcher that causes that
Hope you had a good day out today.

We've got a load of small round magnets that keep the bottom of the curtains in against the metal on the van, it's become a bedtime game to see who can nab the most magnets to go their side of the van.
As for the curtains, i like the large colourful spots on them so passers by get the lining.

Thanks, placed wanted & now have one on way

Does anyone know the best place to get one of these, had a look on the brickwerks site but couldn't find one, tried a couple of other sites but they vary in price so much & not sure there is much difference in quality.
thanks Lana

We've fitted a 3/4 bluebird bed in our panel van, the instructions were difficult to follow & we asked for help on here & someone kindly sent us photos of how theirs fitted which really helped. Making up the box section in the back was not too bad (& hubbys not into carpentry) & ther...

Hi, We have a tin top, it was a panel van but the people who had it before us had windows put in. We took out the bulkhead so we could get from front to back without having to go out in the rain, best thing we did. We have a 3/4 bed & sleep fine in it, although it's best if you're the first in a...

We've done up a panel van & took ages making up our minds,
but got a 3/4 one in the end & last night was first time away in it.
Plenty of room for us & inside the double sleeping bag toasty
Only probs we had was actually getting into the bed, you have to be quite agile....

Thanks ever so much, hubby has spent all afternoon trying to work out how it goes & i've spent hours on net with no luck,
so that will be really great, thanks again.

Hi, Please could anyone let me know if there is a link on here to a photo of how the bluebird rock & roll bed is fitted to a t25 panel van. We know we have to build a wooden base in the back but were hoping to do this after the bed was fitted (is this possible?) we can't get the bed to fit on th...

Thanks again for all the advice, he had it all on okay & then turned the key & just the clicking noise, not good. He did wonder if it was a dud starting motor he'd got & started cursing. Then he double checked as he was sure he had 3 things to reconnect & yep he'd not done 1 of them ...

thanks for this, have had look at wiki & made notes, now doing the run down to the garage to let hubby know.
thanks again, Lana

Hi all, can anyone help please, my husband is fitting a new starting motor & a bush came with it, which said to replace with the old one. He has taken the old starting motor off but can't see the old one to replace. he has read from a orange label on solinoid (not sure how that is spelt) he need...

Hi All, Thanks for all the tips, today van has been fine, hubby is now taking more care he's not known for his finesse :rofl We are wondering if when he first drove it he was going more steady because he was getting use to driving a new type of vehicle & now he's more use to it, is driving like ...

Thanks, i think hubby (paul) was a bit worried when we got van as he is using it as his main car for work. Like i said it was fine for first couple of weeks after we got it & my brother (who has van) said they don't always like the cold, but his is a bit newer (& tidier) than ours, been a lo...
