The whole point of the shovel is to dig a hole and bury it. Usually in woods. Not to pick it up!!! Biodegradable, no chemicals. Makes me wonder if anyone here has ever actually done any proper wild camping! I posted the pics for a bit of fun. Regimented parking on a campsite with your hook up and sa...

Don't do campsites. Wild camping. No idiots around trying to be smart.

A quick pic of my camping toilet, takes up very little room in the van

I agree with comments on heating. I drove a CU engined panel van for 6 years all year round daily without heating, no fun in winter. Ice on inside of windscreen etc. I find the standard silencer a bit restrictive though. Personal taste I guess.

Hi, I have an Empi single quiet pack manifold for a 2.0 CU motor on my 1984 1.9 DG (early motor). Same manifold flanges.

Traced it to a poor connection in multi plug that goes into distributor from ignition amplifier. Pulled the plug out and one wire had snapped inside the plug itself.It w...

Just a thought. Common fault on AAZ motor is the water pump impeller is plastic and likes to stop spinning. Pump will spin nice and quiet but impeller isnt circulating coolant. Easy fix though. You will find similar pumps on 1.4 Polo and Golf petrol engines of same vintage.

As above, exactly what i have on my bus. Recommended.

1984 Caravelle 1.9 DG

I dont have one as i use a portable cooker so i can set up kitchen in my awning when required. Just renewed...
