Yup sure did.

Ideally an reputable brand would give an idea of decent quality (like with all products) .... in this case, a simple relay that works at least.

Nice to read it's working like a charm for you.

My split relay may have a loose connection somewhere as I am not getting any led ight showing when engine is on or off.

I'll check tomorrow and hopefully get more work down on my conversion.

On a plus note I have managed to source a roll of carpet for free for my van ... can't beat that eh

Luckily I dismantled the plywood prior to going ahead with placing the leisure battery and diesel heater in the middle of the metal bulk head floor-  as the van revealed the secret ledge on the right for the leisure battery and a secrete left hand corner vent for my diesel heater...result!! I think the van designer placed all these things for such things

Shit... that slant may play havoc with sleeping...nothing worse than trying to sleep on a slope!

I am looking forward to next weekend to carry on the conversion. I think I will opt for the T&G cladding for the roof and sides. I'm not yet too sure what to go for for the floor and colour scheme too.

Great fun learning how to install a spilt relay.

We started building the wooden frame for cupboards but the only problem is that its wonky despite being equally measured at both ends...the van floor isn't 100% horizontal. I think I may have to follow the panel walls line. Anyone else noticed this?

Ah so its slippy and possibly scratches easily ? (I intend to use my van for van stuff too). Is it heavy?

At least Altro vinyl is light, durable and non slip.

Cheers bro.

I was toying with the idea of Altro flooring but perhaps laminate would be another alternative.

Never straight forward is it lol. I'm sure I uploaded photos in the past without having to open another account. Not tha keen to have another account to memorise. Thanks for the info though.

Nice pics. Tin Tent big daddy looks mint mate. You still got both vehicles?

Man... I ordered a 5 metre cable thinking that was ample for my Mark1 Dispatch. No way...after looping round the wing, through the bulk head and behind the seats... it didn't even reach beyond the sliding door! I would say run a piece of string prior to purchase on the exact route so that you are not short.

So today, I've just applied the Hammerite Kurust on the rust parts where the water pools on the rear floor from the sliding doors and gave them a coating of the Hammerite white spray - also resealed the existing rubber seals with clear sealant too. Hopefully that should help with preventing water from coming in (or it maybe condensation that is pooling on the slider rollers?).

Ah it was pretty straight forward really. I managed to remove the scuttle drain pipe and feed the cable through the drain pipe hole (enough room for both the cable and scuttle pipe). Then fed it down the inside of the wing and fed it into the passenger grommit. I would uplaod a photo showing this but there is no option to upload a photo!

ok nice one TC.
