It's 1090 (43) but my wheelchair trough kinda dictated that. I'm putting a unit on the passenger side. I think it'll be enough - seems quite common - even in bigger vans. There is a bit of space either end of the van central strut - no platform, but space for limbs
#52 Re: Camper Conversions » Peugeot Expert WAV Conversion » 2016-04-04 20:03:40
There will be a little more strutting on the base part, but it feels pretty good as it is. Like I say a few tweets req'd...

Still havn't taken it off yet, Could I have this off you if it turns out I need it? how much would you want?
#54 Re: Camper Conversions » Peugeot Expert WAV Conversion » 2016-04-03 09:11:21
Nearly anyway - need a few tweaks etc..

Built my seat/bed!

the stove isnt going to be bolted in, so that we can bring it out to cook outside when we want - but it is going to have a shelf to live on for inside cooking.
I do have an msr thing, but just want something a little more substantial!
Also - If we use this van then I too will upgrade to somthing bigger so would like stuff that we can swap over..

OK, back to campingaz it is -
just in case anyone finds this useful:
Options:
-Campingaz
-Refilling cylinder - I'm just not confident filling something up myself!
-The GASLOW system seems to be an LPG station refillable option (has 80% full auto-cut off) but too expensive and big for me, interesting option for the right person though.
- buying new attachment/regulator + paying for new cylinder - expensive - inefficient use of space!
- Take enough gas for the trip - no Idea
Thanks for all the advice,

Thought i would put my two pennys worth in
I have had a few vans , if just using in summer butane is good as it has a higher calorific output than propane, not that you would notice in a van, I go with propane as the bottles are shorter and can use all year round, at currant refill prices i cant see a great deal of benefit of filling up at the pump after you have forked out on adapters,bottles that have been refilled have had the seals/valve checked
Driven through france spain and back and still had plenty of gas in the bottle(two of us)just a thought , filling a low pressure bottle with a high pressure pump that is designed to fill high pressure vehicle tanks!!
Cheers - I have never been away in a van before, would you say I could get a propane cylinder that would carry enough to see us through 5 weeks avarage use?
#59 Re: General Discussion » butane or propane?? » 2016-03-31 10:46:15
More reading - lots of people saying its not advisable - if there's any safety issues I personally wouldn't be happy...

It feels like most of these posts should be moved to the "rear door lock" post in the maintenance section
But thankyou for the useful info - I'll get the whole thing off this weekend and have a poke!
I needed the barrels anyway as theyre starting to go and want everything ship-shape before we go! also when I get the lock working I will have a matching barrel...
#61 Re: Spare Parts » Wanted: Rear door lock mechanism (would consider full set) » 2016-03-31 08:46:55
the key turns stiffly but only 30 Degs each way, it makes a noise like the motor is being forced.
neither way engages the lock..
does this sound like a cylinder problem?
#62 Re: Spare Parts » Wanted: Rear door lock mechanism (would consider full set) » 2016-03-31 06:24:07
Cheers Vaz2121 - ordered!
Casper - Gonna change the barrel first, it isn't spinning but not locking.
if barrel doesn't change it I may be in touch!
cheers
#63 Re: General Discussion » butane or propane?? » 2016-03-31 05:53:17
or this...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autogas-LPG-F … 1922533160
But then I'm spending £50 before I've even bought the gas!
#64 Re: General Discussion » butane or propane?? » 2016-03-31 05:50:25
Maybe Ive changed my mind again, the cost for campingaz is stupid!
this site has good info and a price table:
http://www.getoutwiththekids.co.uk/camp … -cylinder/
So we're going to mostly Germany, Italy, France & possibly Spain, (Most of the time Italy)
We'll be away for 5 weeks - lots of eating out I expect, maybe just the odd meal in the van. Will I even need a refill?
The LPG filler thing looks good, I reckon I am right in thinking I will also need one of these?:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LPG-GPL-GAS-a … XQatBSb9Kp
I have no experience of filling up at an LPG station so none of this particularly makes sense!
#65 Re: General Discussion » butane or propane?? » 2016-03-30 21:15:39
Ok, having read up on it it seems camping gas is a mix of the 2 and also - importantly - is exchangable in Europe. As we are going there for our first big trip in summer I think I'll go down this route. It isn't too much to aquire a different regulator if necessary...
Cheers for replies
#66 Re: Maintenance » rear door lock » 2016-03-30 20:54:21
Ordered, cheers! Let me know if you find any tricks....
#67 Re: Maintenance » rear door lock » 2016-03-30 15:45:58
What do I need to buy from ebay/spares place?
Just a barrel? or the whole mechanism?

I'm about to order a stove and am thinking of getting the campinggaz regulator (butane)
Just thought id check in and see if Propane is a better choice?
apologies for all the questions of late, just having a bit of a push to get the van something like for 4 weeks time!
#70 Re: Camper Conversions » Peugeot Expert WAV Conversion » 2016-03-29 17:42:53
I think I do need to remove the spacers - is this advisable you reckon?
#71 Re: Maintenance » rear door lock » 2016-03-29 17:03:30
and when you change the barral do you need to use a different key?

my rear lock doesn't work at all.
Almost all of my others are spinning but working. Makes me think I should just do them all before our trip in July..
is this easier than I imagine to just change the lot?
anyone any experience/spares?
I mainly don't understand If I can still use one key for everything if I change it all?
#73 Re: Camper Conversions » Peugeot Expert WAV Conversion » 2016-03-29 11:52:26
hi, yes it is a constables one! the wood is ok but the metal is starting to rust, pretty messy job imo.
I have considered pulling it all up but I'm not that bothered at the moment - I can always go back and sort it if I decide its worth it.
I'm leaving the floor as is to give a bit of extra height and storage under the bed. it will also act as a runner to help the pull out mechanism
