cheers guys, much appreciated. I was worried for a second there that i'd have to buy a new starter battery!

sorry to go back on this thread, just ordered an Agm leisure battery.  (this one https://advancedbatterysupplies.co.uk/product/advanced-agm-lp120-leisure-battery/) will that still charge fine using a Durite split charge relay thats in my van? the starter battery is a normal Halfords HCB075 Calcium 1...

Because I am basically lazy I'll buy something like a portable 100W folding mono crystalline panel with integrated charger and clip it onto the battery terminals when parked up, because we won't be going anywhere. do you have any recommendations for a solar panel? ive been looking but there seems t...

mine were quite faded too, i didnt spray them, i used back 2 black interior stuff . they came up a treat and look like new now.
was impressed with the results!

thanks for the very detailed replies guys, much appreciated and definitely given me food for thought now to spend that little bit more !

I'm deciding whether to take the plunge and get a roof fitted to mine, and they seem to be the only company i can find that does their own roofs and has a fitting service. its a lot of...

They look similar (not the same) to what i have on mine (and what Larcs has in that video posted above) which are Alcar 9787 17 inch steels for a mercedes.

ive only had my bed 2 years but so far soo good, the foam seems pretty good!
i got it covered in a leather / pleather type material though so it hopefully lasts longer.#

they may be unique to each conversion, all my knowledge goes up to is either 3/4 or full width bed.
