As a final postscript - 'Home Bargains Stores' have the 'Wham Bam' underbe...

Re: Storage boxes

I desperately searched for a close Irish connection but it seems that my great Gran was the last to leave Ireland for Scotland and so I could not claim dual nationality. Retirement in Ireland was very appealing!

Re: Safe heating for a Bongo when wild camping Is it Possible?

Eberspacher or Webasto diesel heater every time for me . They are a proven heater and are fitted to HGV's and at one time, even GPO vans! Make sure that you get a remote temp sensor ( placed in the middle of the van ) along with the timer controller (eg - set to come on 20 mins before you arrive bac...

Storage boxes

Best tip of the year from 'vanvliet ' - trust me. Forget all of the flimsy or ridiculously expensive storage boxes you have previously come across and instead buy these fantastic indestructible boxes made by a British company called 'Wham Bam'. You can stand on these blighters and they will not brea...

Re: Leisure Battery - unconverted Bongo

I have one installed in my cable as in my opinion its the most likely part to be damaged and its my property and hence I am responsible, and I can't vouch for the one installed in the EHU post. I also selected an RCD with a more sensitive trip current the the standard is 30mA the one I have is 10mA...

However it does also mean opening up the block and running an earth wire back out, keep the length of earth wire as short as possible and make...

Re: Leisure Battery - unconverted Bongo

Just bear in mind that they aren't designed for fitting in vehicles, they are meant for use in tents. The reason that this raises problems is that if a fault does develop it will be to the chassis of the vehicle, which is raised up and insulated from earth by 4 rubber wheels. In a tent any fault wi...

Re: Rear vs side conversion -storage space?

Waeco used to have an optional 'slide out' base system for their fridges which was used on the rear of Landrovers.
