Jx tinware

[what2do]

Just seen a gorgeous caravelle cl in Salisbury, whilst looking around it I noticed that instead of having several separate pieces of tinware it just had the one which resembled a belly tank. It was a single pressed steel piece of metal and tidied things up a lot. Not seen one like this before, in the flesh, eBay, on here, etc and was wondering if it was anything special or not. Many thanks, Mitch.

Sounds like a standard nappy to me.

Yep, that's the one. Clearly I need to get one as my 2nd van doesn't have one. NEVER seen one fir sale though.

Mines in the barn, you can have it if you want it - it's a bit of a drive though.

Right O. It appears that I needn't bother then. The van I saw was a beauty, all genuine with a bit of patina driven by a super friendly chap whom gave me 20 minutes of his time in the car park despite him running late.

If you have a diesel engined van they keep the external noise down.

WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY??? It would take more than a bit of insulated tin to mKe my diesel quiet! Despite it being lined and carpeted it rattles like a bad thing. It doesn't help that there's daylight coming in by the sliding door. My first van has a full bulkhead and when I got the diesel which is without any bulk head, I couldn't believe the difference in sound. The full bulk head goes a long way to killing any rattles from the back, especially as it's bare panels - probably would be deafening if it was removed.
