Thanks John, I think it’s important to pass on knowledge and skills, I learnt a lot from my dad growing up and so did Emma! They are good skill sets to have later in life!

Nice touch looks good and can't belive how much you have done so quickly can't wait to see them cabinets I spied haha.

looks good.audio off a bit there at the end lol been through that myself before. also, I think I would have taken it to a welder before I attached it and had them weld the bolts to the holder from the back then painted it. now you will ahve to carry something to keep the back of the bolt from spinning when you trying to take it off. plus try not to lose them when changing a tire.

Hiya mate. Great video, like your vids, I am only up the road near Wigan.. I have a sprinter low roof, part converted as I am a plasterer so still need tools in the side door…. gonna out one of these on the back door , looked at the website this morning, they look ace. 👍 gaz.

We didn’t do a video on our gas install as we used a company in Liverpool who are now actually retired, but it’s a 55 litre under slung donut tank which fits where the spark wheel would go.
