Re: Children’s cab cot bed?
We got one of these for our daughter, who's slept in it from 3 months (in a pop up cot tied to it) until she was 6. Looks like they're still in business... http://vw-beds.com/products/cab_bunk.html No fitting, just sits on the front doors. Bit fiddly to get in place (there's a knack to holding it in...

Re: Body Shops South West.
I use CoastVW when I need work doing on the van and they've always done a good job.
I've also had Wedgies Workshop near Newton Abbott recommended to me in the past as well https://www.facebook.com/WedgiesWorkshop/ (Though it was a while ago, not sure if they're still around.)

Re: Leisure battery drain ?
you need to wire your tracker so the isolator switch does not cut power to it , or it will be useless should you need it when the switches are off !! May be worth checking the power drain of any tracker too - The TK103 family that are popular on eBay draw about 0.07A, which is just under 2AH a day,...

Heater doesn't go fully cold after Subaru transplant
I've noticed since swapping the WBX for Subaru, once the engine's up to temp that the cab heater never goes fully cold, even with the lever fully left - it always is blowing slightly warm. Not too bad at the moment, but when summer finally roles round, probably not going to be the best! Have swapped...

Re: Camper Jam Syncro rides for charity 6-7 July
PM'd you Si as I can't commit this year yet, but can safely say that it was very good fun in 2017, even though I think my van was the lowest and did the most sliding on it's belly... If anyone's thinking about it, yes there are some bouncy bits and a tight corner or two, but I just took my time and ...

Re: Tow bar bike rack dilema
I'm guessing your ladder is mounted left or right? In which case, it'll just be a case that the first bike has to go on with the handlebars on the other side, and you'll probably be fine with most towball mounted racks I'd have thought. I've got a 4-bike Buzzrack from https://www.roofbox.co.uk/ and ...

Re: New radio recommendations
I'd also recommend the Pioneer mechless units, fitted one (nice and easily) in my van a few years back and it's been faultless.

Re: Engine cover insulation
Looks in the same nick as mine I cut up a couple of metal coathangers to add more support where the insulation was starting to sag and it's been ok so far - will replace with some proper insulation when I get round to it... http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=142356

Re: RM122 - 3 ways fridge woes
Is your van perfectly level when you've been testing the gas? From my experience, running on gas is far more picky about the fridge being level than it is on either of the electric modes... could be as simple as that

Re: 3 way or Compressor
I've got a 3-way in my current van, and had a compressor in my old van. Here's some observations if it helps: Quietest: 3-way - silent in operation (both on gas & electric). Compressor hummed like a standard kitchen fridge. Not so good if your head's next to it as it switches off and on through ...

Re: Waste water
We've got a folding bucket for the waste water, folds down to next-to-nothing when not in use. Also have the folding washing up bowl & colander, anything to save a bit of precious space :) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Washing-Up-Cleaning-Bowl-Collapsible-Bucket-Dish-Foldable-Folding-Water-Sink/361...
