There being no C263 might come as a shock to anyone who has just sat down on one for a thoughtful moment.

is there a C263? cant see one on this list

 

[MichaelT]

Yes, untill I sort out the wiring.

So did you just use the original wiring or put in heavier duty?

Don't be silly they uses 6mm² cable direct to the CBE unit with no fuses.

I used 25mm² cable wired back to the starter battery and fused correctly.

Yep mine is a 263S, the 260 one fits.

Finally got around to wiring the Victron B2B and disconnected the Schaudt one, hopefully will re-purpose it just to run the fridge if I can ever get my head around manic Carthago wiring.

Lenny
Where abouts did you purchase the aluminium tracking, eye bolts and carpet? All the tracking I’m looking at is notched, not the smooth type like yours, did you go for the heavier duty carpet?

TIA

How do you fellas cope with being weightless and the G forces upon re-entry?

Is that the Sport model?

Very neat wiring. You should put a glass floor above it and lights so visitors can admire it.

Do we know whose van is next on Lenny’s list? He has some free time on his hands now

 

[1967bowesj]

And now we have porcelain poo's

Standard on my Pilote!!

 

[pelican]

Is that the Sport model?

Has the added advantage of dealing with BS

 

[Lenny HB]

Can we add Compactline Mods and Upgrade requests ?

If so I'd like a full tutorial on headlight upgrades please ...

Used the lights for the first time on Wednesday they were great for aircraft spotting, wondered why everyone was flashing me.
Much more adjustment on the newer Fiat's managed to get them so they light up the tree tops on dip.

They look a lot better than the ones in the Hymer but I'll still fit LED bulbs.

I've not been out in the dark yet. I did save my H7 LED from last van so may fit them at some point if they're the same.

The bars are Fiamma bought them from an eBay supplied £115 for two, persuaded my mate he needed one, the eye hooks they come with are very good.

The carpet is Gel backed from Online Carpets the cheapest type I've used is in a lot of vans very good.

 

[Hettie's Crew]

Had 3 new Hymers not had them in any of them.

Our Hymer had them (smoke+co2) fitted from new back 2014.

It's a ceramic liner a poor man's porcerlin loo. Easier to clean and doesn't go yellow like the plastic ones.

Didn't know they go yellow.

Our loo is 12 years old and still as white as it started. We use Tesco cheap bio powder (2 coffee scoops) and rinse it round the bowl with a bit of water to dilute it and clean the bowl with a washing up brush we keep in the cassette cupboard after each empty. We then use a spray bottle with a cap full of Lidl bio washing liquid and topped up with water. No need for ceramics that could get awful underneath.

Never had a yellow one in all the years we've been MHing.
