Thanks Jon. Was I right in thinking that you did have a debate about scrapping it prior to deciding to get the Mig out and work a bit of magic?

Bought it from Jon and didn't think CJ had anything to do with Syncrospares now? Also post has Syncrospares signature. Tell us Jon or CJ!

Thanks very much - and to CJ for the info. Good of CJ to carry on having a link to his old business - although from what I've heard of him he's that type of man.

Was it previously LPG'd? There is a blanked off hole under the rock and roll bed near where the Westy 240v charger would have sat.

Could have been from an old rear heater matrix.

Ahh - yes. Especially if it was previously a Caravelle?

There you go. You could look and see if the water pipes have been tapped into underneath in the past and that would tell you for sure :wink:
