I have a 1984 T25 model and wondered whether to paint the rims white and just leave the original rusted metal hub caps. Unlikely to be able to find old metal hub caps that are not rusted like mine? Any ideas anyone? I saw new ones for £30 each but they would look odd on my old van I think.  My van i...

 Does anyone have any idea where I could get a set of these? Thanks
 

Thanks Paul - that's helpful. Jeff has restored my van but he's expensive as you say and I was wondering about getting it done cheaper. Saying that, I know a guy who used a cheaper guy for a respray and it all pealed off so I may be best to stick with Jeff. 

Hi guys could anyone give me some advice........I have scraped my lovely Betty down the sliding doors and I need a good body work guy to fix it. Does anyone know of anyone. I do have a restoration guy but he is soooo expensive that I would like to find someone else.

 

Hi I thought I would ad my bit of experience. I too like you were searching for a van for a few years. I kept sending pics to a resto expert of vans around 7-9K and he came back each time and said you are going to spend another 9K on it. Eventually I bought off ebay last year a T25 pop top water coo...

Thanks for this. I think the front can be a roll out? See what you are saying so I hope I can attach it but I was planning to probs pitch it not at the sliding door but a little to one side for extra space - not sure. They are back in  stock - only a few left - so have ordered one!

I think so but sadly out of stock so lots of people probs think it too!!
 

Has anyone got any experience of using a Decathlon lounge extension instead of a drive away awning? Thought it might be easier and cheaper than trying to fix on an awning and drive back and get the van into the correct position as that sounds tricky for me! https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/6-person-cam...

Found on Just Kampers!!!!

Anyone know where I might get curtain rail runners and curtain hooks for my T25 pop up van?

Has anyone any ideas about this Decathlon 'lounge'. I thought I could put it close to the van. It's not a driveaway but I thought a drive away will be hard for me to fit and also it seems quite hard to get into position when you come back having driven away! https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/6-person-ca...

Mick didn't have one but my resto guy has found me one on ebay!! Wanted £150 plus £50 postage but he has kindly said I can have it for £110 and he will deliver to Bristol!!!!

I need a battery that is 170mm or less as that is what my current one is. It is in a hinged lid so any bigger and the lid won't close and then the seat won't pull back into position! A car battery that fits would be fine as it only runs the water pump and internal lights.

thanks so much. I will ring Mick.

Ah thanks. Shame it's gone.
