      You’ve done some great upgrades. They will enhance the motor home no end and get it up to the standard you want. I’m looking forward to following you on your next trip.

      Stu That tyre pressure monitor you have on the van if its the one that locks on to the tyre valve stem be careful as the little locking nut welds itself to the tyre valve and you can't get it off as a result you are unable to put pressure into the tyres as the locking nut is in the way. Put some grease on it to prevent it seizing. It happened to us had to take the wheels off and take them to a tyre place to get the valves replaced. 😪

      Without any real justification I have always felt the "coachbuilt" style of RV would be less rigid and therefore more rattly over bumps etc and I wondered if converting a Luton-style box van could provide maximum internal space and roof area for solar though requiring a self-build approach. Just thought to ask what aspect of your Crafter did you find smaller than the current RV – sleeping space or daytime room ? thnx

      How much extra weight have you added to the van? We are looking at purchasing same van and doing the same upgrade of air con and solar panels. Just worried about the added weight.

      Really interesting guys. Could you tell us more about the Kenwood unit please, like how much it was to have fitted or do you think is could be DIY? I’ve read that Apple Maps won’t work if you add the vehicle dimensions. Looking forward to more vlogs from you both. Every time we like something since watching your channel we go “I’m ‘appy with that”!

      I’ve always used some fine grit sandpaper on the bottom of the panel brackets. Removes any coating from the plastic. Far better key for the adhesive.👌🏽👍🏼

      Great vlog guys. Love the air con and what a great price! I was expecting it to be £3k+ . Might consider getting it fitted to our van now. Have a great time in Greece 🙂 x
