My method has been as follows: 1) fit rubber to window 2) insert string into rubber 3) lubricate...

After much headscratching I decided to fit rear 3 point belts in mine. I ordered mounting plates and belts from JK and got the father in law (plumber) to weld them in the correct position.

As far as I know the villa was made just with the standard rock'n'roll bed lay out but the vision was an attempt at an alernative lay out with the kitchen at the back and the front seats folding down into a double bed or 2 singles. Bit of a silly lay out if you ask me. Fortunately calypso campers ma...

Previously owned 2 bays before i saw the light and I currently on my 2nd T25, which in case you hadn't guessed is an 87 holdsworth Vision which I purchased from ebay about 18 months ago....
