Hi, I'm looking at buying a 1990 VW T25 caravelle that has since been converted with a camping interior, it now has a home made full size rock and roll bed and no seatbelts, my question is, if I'm looking to get seatbelts fitted in the back (I have someone who can do this) do I need to be looking sp...

I've got to replace my door seals and rubber foot steps in the cab area, what adhesive should I use? Is there any tricks or should it be easy??? I'm not very good at DIY!
Thanks in advance for any advice

Oh!!! Right ok, but I'm sure then i'd get a really cold face! Is there supposed to be some rubber round the door or something to exclude the draught? Just wondered if that is missing or is it supposed to be like that?

Well we did it, we had one night away last night and I was flipping freezing!! Although I do think that perhaps there is not supposed to be a gap where the sliding door shuts that lets a lot of cold air in and thats where my feet were (with socks on I might add) but freezing, it was still great fun ...

Oh I'm glad to her all these stories of sleeping out, I'm hoping to go away this easter holiday but hubby thinks we will be too cold??! Wimp! My only concern is our middle daughter has a habit of several wee wees in the night and she will be up in the viking roof! Either we put a toilet up there, ve...

Did you get cold??? I'm trying to pursuade hubby to go in this easter holidays somewhere but he thinks its too cold and thinks the kids will freeze, I'm sure wrapped up in duvets at night we will all survive, give us some encouragement! (Although I see you other half had her breakfast in the van, bi...

Well folks the clutch has been done £240 later! and thats feels much better, but the gears are still a problem, and apparently it has now been determined that it has not got a 2.0l gearbox to go with the 2.0l engine so this is causing all sorts of problems, the garage also said that the gearshift ro...

Hi, Anyone had any problems with having a 2.0L engine put into what was an original 1.6L van? This is what has been done to the van I have bought and it appears that the clutch is extremely stiff as a result, I've been told its something to do with the fact tht the originl engine would have had a cl...

Cool! Thanks all, will let you know how it goes

Hello, I need a bit of advice from anyone with a viking roof, you are all going to think I'm mad but I have had the van for a couple of weeks now and have not yet attempted to get the roof up (have been distracted by lots of other problems to sort out with it! :( ) so I now want to have a go at gett...

I have just purchased a secondhand Flavel B700 gas cooker for my van but have no idea what I'm supposed to do next!? I know I need to get an olive clip/connector and a length of hose before I can hook it up to a gas bottle, I wondered if anyone could give me any advice on whether I should be attempt...

I'm fairly new to camping in a campervan having previously preferred wild tent camping. My dream camping trip would probably involve hiking with a rucksack, eating meagre rations and staying in a tiny tent in the woods. I like to think of my Westfalia as an elaborate mobile basecamp from which to e...

Naughty me! Did a little detour on the way to work and had a drive past, I think its cute
I would love to come and show you my van when the darn thing ever gets here! Still no word about what day this week it will be, if this week at all?????!
See you soon, hopefully

Good for you!! I'd still like to see some pics! Or I suppose I could just be nosey when I drive past later to go to work!, bet the neighbours are pleased!! LOL

I don't need a microwave its just the principal of the thing!! He said there would be one in it and now there probably isn't going to be. yes please Kate, I do still want the cooker and oven but won't be able to double check if they will fit as the bugger didn't get it transported down today as prom...
