  Anyone know is there some sort of a conversion kit to use on an older t5 (04) so that it might accommodate the newer style of radio fixing as shown in this video? Thanks.

  I just don't understand why everyone uses timber to frame it. I got a different brand and theres no mention of making a frame in the instructions. I'm just afraid to cut my hole out and not know the depth of timber frame to make😂

  Every model is made for a certain roof thickness. E.g. 23-60mm. So you need to make a frame to create that thickness, the rooflight sandwiches the wood together. At least that's how I understand it😅

  I wouldn't worry about security because if someone wants to break in, then they will do. Also, a bonded glass window adds torsional rigidity to the vehicle, as with the front windscreen which adds 34%.

  HI Sam, thx for the video. How are you after that year with the ductape adaption of the roof? Would you stil reccomend this? and why do you write that forced ventilation is just for caravans? were thinking to get one with forced ventialation for our ducato since we bring a lot of humidity inside due to sports and wet dog....

• 
  @sampayne63189 ай бұрын

  Hi. Forced ventilation is not recommended for van conversions as the ventilation holes can whistle as you drive along (not a issue for a caravan as you're not in it when it's moving). Hope this helps. Cheers

  Hi Sam. Did you know about Elddis's idea of Winterising a motorhome. We have a 2019 Elddis 155 Supreme. Last January we headed to Glenmore near Aviemore. We weren't concerned about low temperatures as our van has this winterising pack fitted (see my channel 'Glenmore in Winterwonderland'.) Needless to say everthing that could freeze - did! The most it got down to was minus 4 or 5 degees c which isn't a lot. With what looks like bubble wrap on each tank stuck with duct tape and not one hint of pipe insulation it's no wonder we had trouble. Waste water outlet pipe froze first then the washbasin waste, then the kitchen sink waste and then the cold water from the tank stopped pumping through. We managed with bottled water and a seperate outside waste tank that we poured sink water into. We had to wait for the weather to warm for it all to eventually thaw and start working again. God, when it all thawed out it felt like sheer luxury lol. I'm a retired plumber and used to sorting bursts and insulating pipes so you can imagine how frustrated I was. I felt helpless. Your kitchen sink waste pipe goes down in a big dip. This will be holding water that can freeze. It needs clipping flat to the bottom of your van floor. But you may then find bad smells come wafting from the tank as the dipping pipe is acting like a trap. You can't win unless you pop the plug in the waste in the sink. Ours are the same. On the Elddis production line who ever does the plumbing on these vans must have absolutely no idea at all. The pipes go up and down everywhere. Do this in a house and you'll have problems. Elddis are getting away with murder. There are supposed to be two heaters in the side of the tanks. We had these turned on. I don't think they work. The van is out of warranty which is annoying. We'll probabley be going again next January (gluttons for punishment) Thanks for the video.
