I have a Vitrofrigo (I think thats how its spelt) 50ltr compressor fridge which has been great, not the cheapest but really quite low consumption.

I do have a lithium battery and 215w solid solar panel though so I guess that helps.

I've got 215/70 ×15" Yokohama Geolandars on Ronal ET 23 on my camper, 2.1 with the Brickwerks lift kit and it pulls nicely enough.

Handy to know, nice one.

Make sure they are 'built' correctly, by that I mean the one side of the inner race has shamfer on it which goes towards the shaft not the wheel/gearbox. Also they need to be 'clocked' spend a little time on Google and look for videos (yes I'm old) on rebuilding and clocking T25 CV joints, apart fro...

Can you lock it from the inside (small lever that moves up and down) if so next check the outer handle to see if the 'locking lug' operates with the key, as stated above the cable/rod is there purely to release the catch at the back of the door.

A lot of top VW mechanics started off just like you 8) As luck would have it I have a 1985 VW T3 high-top camper with a 1.9L DG water-cooled carburetted engine. But I'm not one of the aforementioned top mechanics LOOL and I bought it 4 months ago so I can't answer accurately... but I can help with ...

Faulty 'new' pump? Long shout I know but worth trying another. Don't take this the wrong way but you haven't put the fuel pipes on the the pump the wrong way have you? I've done it in the past and as I run mine on lpg the petrol could be seen 'bubbling ' in the filter. I know you said the fuel lines...

See whats coming out of the panel on a sunny day (difficult this time of year I know) for starters and take it from there.

If you're getting a decent voltage from the panel then maybe the controller is shagged?

I've also been running a 2.1 on a carb and lpg for probably 15yrs without a problem, early van too with early cooling system.

Plumbed the cooler/heater thing in as well, well worth it in my opinion.

Make sure the wheel/tyre combo are of a standard size too, many people put car wheels on with low profile tyres which screws the gearing up.

The JK poptop covers should fit, I have a Westy style poptop roof on my van and the daughter has a solid sided Holdsworth poptop conversion and we both have the covers from JK.

As far as I'm aware these are part of the pipe and not available separately, they stop the pipe from crushing when the clips are tightened so doubt you would get a good seal without them.

The above video explains all, I did mine recently with basic tools.

The most difficult bit was getting the old ones out but I'm sure they all vary.
