Shower under 1 shows part of the ply supporting the tray, one domestic trap and dent puller to get the tray up again. Shower edge ply pic shows the ply strip cut at about 45 degrees top and bottom to hopefully direct water away from the tray/wall join which was siliconed anyway. Separett 5 shows...

Hi I had some plastic tanks made up a while ago, three tanks totalling about 100 US gal. Sized to go though the door :) I asked for some connections to be fitted during construction but that was a mistake, what I imagined was a good idea at the time turned out to not be ideal once other stuff...

Sorry, my brain is confusing two threads :( In my case I do have maybe 9 tons on the front axle, and the yellow bags I pictured are the only things without going new that would lift it with one bag. Yes too big but best second hand option I could find. And at that size I would think I might end...

Thats why I edited it :) I'll have to find the photos I took at various stages of deflation, but I'm sure they ended up longer than 2'! Maybe anyway :)

Previously we had a D5WS 5KW Eber which was quite noisy, it had either half or full power, it decides which to use, and when to shut down, based on the water temperature. It did only have a basic silencer though. Neil suggested during his build to use a bigger heater because, as you can see in...

Yep, but they aren't big enough. You need two maybe for a level lift on the OP projected weight, and then how much safety factor does that come with? Add in a slope, or some wobble during lift to unequally load a pair? Maybe you need three?!? The ones I linked to were/are the only ones I've come...

Thank you both

:cool: I'd always thought/read/assumed that a normal vehicle alternator will only bulk charge so can't get a battery to 100%, and that you'd need a different charging profile to totally fill one up? Which was what partly made solar and/or a shore charger so worth having on a camper, especially...

4) Currently at about 58degrees north in winter solar does not very much other than keep things topped up when the camper is not in use. Around the Med in summer though and even minimal wattage is awesome. Also, charging from "the alternator" can mean from a standard unit that might only ever...

Maybe more relevant stuff here https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/mb-1120-coming-to-america.190398/ So if you isolated the camper and engine coolant circuit with a heat plate exchanger between then the pumps aren't doing much more than they're supposed to, and isolating them for...

Snipped The banana thing I've heard too. Nice shiny ally sand ladders look good, and I do have a pair, but getting them straight enough to remount again might not be possible would be my thinking. And they're always mounted just so on the side of a roof rack or something. The best use I've...

Without trying to be annoying in not answering, what size tyres do you have or could you have? I had a camper on 395 85 R20 XZLs and at about 20psi the footprint was about (edited to say probably a bit less than 4 but more than 3) (from memory but I have some photos somewhere) 4 feet long...

We have two fan matrices, one at each end, but mainly two so that we won't have to run either on high hopefully just from a noise point of view. One will be turned on by the Eberspacher so can be timed, the other will just have a direct power feed so can be on when the Eberspacher is off which...

Using water pipe that will stand the temperature created either by the engine or by a hydronic heater Espar type thing isn't the usual type of food grade water pipe used for tap connections in UK campers at least. More like vehicle engine coolant heater hose. The food grade stuff here may go pop...

I found a place in the UK who sell surplus fire brigade stuff. They had the nice big low pressure air bags I think you are suggesting above, and I had gone there to have a look and probably buy one or two. But, deflated they are huge. From memory about 18"x18"x4' each one plus the hoses and...

Hiya I have a diesel Espar hydronic heater running in part through a Surejust calorifier of 35 litres which is maybe a bit big, build not yet finished though. We wanted a vertical model because thy're supposed to keep heat in for longer, and it takes up less garage floorspace. It also has 1KW of...

Nice build :) I've been putting a hydronic Espar in an external box on our start from an empty box camper and it has still taken a loooong time! Just getting it mounted with air and water in and out, wiring loom, fuel etc etc have taken bits from 19 different suppliers on top of the Espar stuff...

I was wondering if there would actually be room on a Mog behind the engine if it was connected with a tiny driveshaft each side, so four shaft joints to allow for flexing? Have you had a measure up to know if there might be room at least?
