THIS week I bought

Treated myself to some new tyres of the All Terrain variety as I’m sick of the terrible form ride of the Continental VancoCampers. Even the 2 mile journey home was a noticeable difference!
225 75 16??

How do you find them noise wise?

Cheers James
 
I will let you know once I’ve put a few 100 miles on them.

Ive had General Grabbers on my previous van (VWT5) and the mpg dropped slightly (1/2mpg) so nothing to worry about. Comfort is the main advantage and the need to not worry too much about the pothole ridden roads in case one jumps out on you!
They look great - also interested to hear what difference that make - would you be ok to say how much they cost? Cheers

Everything needed to professionally spray furniture. My god, extraction is pricey :oops:

And also this week, thanks to Wombles the Ingenio set.

PS - Claira was so happy when these turned up and thanks you. Although 2 minutes later she walked back into the workshop and said "that's not my Christmas present, is it?" :LOL:

After Just smiffy excellent purchase yesterday, I followed suit (Guinness)

And a little fire pit/BBQ that I'm far more excited about arriving than I should be :giggle:

Stainless and folding - should be ideal for over the winter whilst being outside. And cheap (y)

We have quite a few wood off-cuts from van builds and wood isn't supposed to go in our bin. So I've been storing them in garden sacks ready to get something like this.

I have one of those, had it about 4yrs and use it all the time when camping, I also have lots of off cuts To take with us..

They can take a right hiding believe me, had ours overloaded and burning all night long.
For longer fires I take the little ash catcher out and stand the whole fire pit on an old metal tray.
 
More heat for the new house.

Oh. And it twists around to chuck heat in all directions.

I fitted an engine undertray/splash guard yesterday. Put the van up on levelling ramps and crawled around underneath for a couple of hours in the freezing cold, trying to work out how to attach it. Hardest bit was fitting M10 rivnuts without a rivnut gun. Not got any pictures, because sheets of moulded black plastic aren't interesting.

Hopefully the engine bay will get a bit less salt and crud in it over its lifetime. It might also mildly reduce engine and road noise and provide a small mpg increase.
 
We've been on a bit of a spending spree recently...scary but enjoyable!!
Our list of purchases include a MacBook Air and Macbbok Pro (both used for work - finally decided to try moving to the Apple ecosystem and rather impressed so far!).
200Ah Lithium battery, Victron smart-shunt, grey tank heating pads and insulation along with the install of them all.
Wallets taken a beating but we are very happy with all our purchases!
