Re: Drive away awning

I’ve just got a new tent so my khyam motorhome sleeper is going spare. It’s quite old, 10 years maybe. But I’d be happy to sell it, pm me if you’re interested. 
With regard to the arb, I have a cassette awning and attach the khyam to that with a figure 8 and kador strip.

If I was a certain type of person I’d look at my local tip for one. Or better still a green halon extinguisher.

Re: Will these merc wheels fit?

checked earlier, I had it back to front ish. the ones I have fitted are 7x15 et37 with 10mm spacers.   then I got hold of a set of the 6.5x15's (all Mercedes rims) on one of my other t3's I have 7x15 Merc rims that are et25 from older SL Mercs. bolt on no problem.  but they are not as easy to find....

Re: Really daft question

Imagine you plug in to the mains before you put the cable into your van, - live metal sticking out. Change it before the accident happens.

Re: New engine - recommendations

Many will say vege engines are bad, P.O. put mine in, it’s done about 30k mls and been great, there was some green silicone around the fuel pump and that leaked oil for a while.
No problems to report.

Re: Noisy heater fan, squirt of oil?

There is a temporary fix on the samba. It might buy some time, sooner or later it will give up and then it’s dash out time.

Re: Roofrack

It is strong, I’ve sat on a board up there. I’m 80kg.
Getting 25 kg up might be awkward though, my awning goes on the floor as a footrest. Khyam motordome sleeperis heavy.
