No advice on who to see around London, but I think that gear thing can be quite common in these old vans, I can't get ours into reverse at all, which is a bit of a problem for me, but my partner can. Ebay can be double edged sword with vehicles as we bought Dora a couple of years ago from there and ...

[quote="beccalou72] Nice colour, did you paint the whole thing, if so how much paint did you need? Thanks To be honest I can't recall the total amount. A 2.5 litre tin certainly did most of it but I do recall buying an extra litre at some point. We did it more or less a panel at a time, with s...

My van started life in slate blue but was converted as a new van to a mini-bus by Devon, who painted it a dark maroon. I bought it about 8 years ago and converted it to a basic camper but wasn’t sure what to do about the bodywork. Then I discovered this thread and set about replacing various bits o...

Interested in this too as we're having problems with our slider.

Has anyone any recommendation for a paintshop/bodywork shop in Norfolk.

Hi,

Please could anyone tell me where we could get the seal for the slider hinge (the bit that goes into the door as opposed to the actual sliding part).

TIA.

Ok thanks you all.

We have an early poptop Kamper and they are above the slider and over the units. There are 4 this size and 2 a bit smaller.

Does anyone know if I can get any.

Thanks in advance.

Wow

Looks lovely

Where did you end up getting your decals from?
