Re: Autosleeper bed size

Mine has a 1x 4ft and 1x 2ft. The 2ft sits ontop of the 4ft in the middle of the opening when driving. The 4ft is secured by some split dowel either side that locates into the side runner. For the bed the 4ft slides to the back with the 2ft above the sink, then it is easy to push this up ontop when ...

Re: Autosleeper window seals + fibreglass shroud

I've just read that before. I have the original stiff fibreglass shrouds. They were glued in place and the old window seals went over the body work and and shroud edge. When I say "I got some seals from JK but failed to fit them with added shroud thickness." I actually mean someone else di...

Autosleeper window seals + fibreglass shroud

Hi

Any Autosleeper owners replaced their window seals. What did you use to fit the fibreglass shrouds as well?

I got some seals from JK but failed to fit them with added shroud thickness.

Thanks

Re: Alternator Charging worries !

It is easy, very easy, 2 screws and a wiggle and the old one is out, a bit of (careful) jiggling and the new one is in, put back the 2 screws = job done. You do have to remove fan belt and swing alternator to the right though otherwise one of the screws that hold regulator in place is a challenge t...

Voltage, I meant open circuit voltage, across the panel :roll:

I tested for shorts in wiring between panels and controller using continuity.

Re: Buzzer of Doom - Good course of action

Well, just took the van into the garage to check over fuel lines and look at the rust around windscreen :cry: so had a chat about the buzzer. The mechanic said from experience as the buzzer comes on around 2000rpm it suggests the buzzer and wiring is fine & working perfectly, and the pressure IS...

[T]he heavy body of a T25 would need some serious modifications. Who's going to make some carbon fibre body panels then? :lol: I'm thinking long term here as battery technology is developing. Read about an interesting one the other day using carbon cath & anodes with an organic electrolyte, the...

Re: Buzzer of Doom - Good course of action

Hmmm, on going, haven't had the time to do it yet. I'm either working, looking after my boy or away in the van! Hope it is just a faulty pressure switch or wiring. I've noticed I can avoid it by anticipating when it is going to happen and therefore change gear or brake bringing the engine speed down...

Heating and Ventilation Controls

Hi all Got a quick question about heating controls that perhaps someone hear could confirm there is something wrong or whether it is the way they are. It has a 3 lever set up with fan. Getting info from here less 4th lever http://www.autosleeper.vwt25camper.info/July_1985_VW_T25_Instruction_ManualVW...
