Hi all. I was running really well for a while. But in the way home the other day as soon as we left camp site It was really sluggish. Top speed was about 50mph. Just had no go at all. When I got about 5 mins from home it started stalling when the engine speed dropped. We had to rush out to a party t...

Just remembered I hadn't put photos on yet. This is the only one I have on my phone at moment.

I have a hot water system but it's a solar powered immersion heater, not gas or liquid fueled. Although you can get mini water heaters (webasto, carva, truma etc) that will fit in our campers. As for the Ebber I would be thinking of replacing I with a more modern heater, oldiebut goodie on here sup...

Anyone fitted any sort of hot water system that runs off the LPG tank at all. I was thinking of taking out the inbuilt water tank and fit a water Heater in there and get a easy roll water tank to sit outside that could feed into this and the kitchen sink. Also out ebespacher has never worked. I star...

I will get some photos up. Went to the Dorset steam fair and used it and can't believe how much warmer it is. We are well chuffed.

Thanks everyone. All complete now. It took longer to get old one completely removed and all staples removed than it did to fit new one. My dad helped me and we got it fixed into place Monday night and he kindly finished it off for me tonight while I was working. Was a bit fiddly with the roof on doi...

Sorry to jump in but what does the glass fuse do. Mine is blown and blows as soon as I put new one in.

Ok. Brilliant. I didn't even consider roof needed to come off so thanks for your input.

Yea mines a 79 so is stapled to some batten. I am presuming Cvc video will be of a later one as they don't sell a canvas for the early ones. But might be worth a watch still later.

Brilliant. Not what I wanted to hear but I was sort of expecting someone to say that. Should you start with the top or bottom. I was thinking fix all the way round the bottom and then pull up to the corners and temp fix them pulling tight and then fix all the way round. Do u think I need an extra pa...

Going to try and fit a new pop top canvas for my westfalia. Any tips before I start. Is it reasonably easy or a absolute mare.

Or this one from gsf? I think I need to take mine off to compare. When you screw it back in should I wrap ptfe around it or anything?

Is this the idle solenoid valve?

Ok so I'm running again. And in the process I have now found that the idle solenoid wire has failed on the connector and I can't seem to get a spade connector to push on anything on the inside. It's like the male connection inside the unit has fell off or burnt off. I can't feel anything inside it a...

Hello again. I have used the van a few times now and since plugging up my massively obvious vacum leak it's not overheating and running a lot better. But on my last journey It was running rubbish from word go and once upto temp it refused to run on idle. I was going on holiday that evening so haven'...
