The front one is being replaced with a maxxair fan vent ...not decided on the rear one yet
Good but won't give you much light.
This is the only criticism I could make of this whole fantastic job he's doing, couldn't see right from the beginning , why buy a bus and close up all the windows, a van would have been far cheaper and there would already be no windows.
No but the other one will
Go for the big Heki. They're decent quality, have a simple lift mechanism, and best of all, are clamp fitting - no screws into roof.
I bought a bus because a vario panel van with just as much rust would have cost me twice as much and i couldnt get one without rear doors or a large sliding door on the side....the bus is also longer than the panel van. Single glazed windows are a greenhouse In summer and a condensation magnet in winter. They also take up valuable wall space unless you cover them over which then can cause problems if they leak undetected or get broken and require inside access ( like these ones do ) to remove and refit. This is going to be my fulltime home in all weathers. Therfore i want it as warm as possible. It will have 2 windows where the rear seating area is and one on the side door ...that will be enough. When its nice weather im usually outside anyway ...and i will have a 4.5 metre roofdeck to be lounging on
Its a possibility
Yes i considered 2 maxxair fans but id only do that if i was to fit a 3rd skylight in between ...problem is it would then be parallel to my stove chimney.2 max air fans would be perfect one push and the other pull. Are you finishing the welding on the windows then cutting any windows back into the build. Looking great so far mate.
Ah but that has it's own balcony!
Yours will be the best sorted vario in the country, can you educate us on the various vario types? 614, 18 814 16 and so on?
Basically the first letter depicts the weight , and the last 2 the bhp ( rounded up )
Well it might not be the best as i have some stiff competition. But if it turns out like the vision i have in my head it will certainly be a nice van .
Yes that tail lift would be handy ...but its also very heavyAh but that has it's own balcony!
Thanks, funny those figures for BHP are so close together, yip adblue is recipe for trouble , lots of electronics to go wrong , and they do in Hgv ‘s , had various daf and Volvo adblue issues, costs thousands to repair…..
Which vario threads are worth following on you tube?
Sometimes i wander
Thanks, I will have a look at those, love seeing people giving those things a seventh live lol, I would need one completely restored just with an empty shell, love building interiors more then anything, street artist can be awesome, the annual graffiti festival here in Cheltenham produces the most fantastic artwork, but so much for a stealth presence eh?Sometimes i wander

Instagram is good for them though
Isambard ( john and kerry ) is quite a special build and started off in a worse state than mine ....and a very talented couple

Yeah theres a good few of them there ...id hoped to go myself but im vanless
the inside is really nice go see him im sure he'd love to show it off
The plses are that it has plenty on it that you could sell on. The minuses & what would rule it out for me is no mot & sold as spares or repair. At that price ??
not only that but it hasn't been taxed since december 2017 & isn't on sorn either?
Yes i think it will too
As we were saying a few weeks back the vans usually make 2.5-3 times what the buses make.
Yeah they are much harder to come by
