Are the Essex Coastal Islands worth Kayaking
Took a train to Walton on the Naze with my shipwreck arrowstream inflatable kayak and camping equipment. Headed up the coast to some wildlife sanctuary islands to spend the night.
Had an issue the next morning getting to the water with low tide as the ground was boggy clay, and was cut off from the sea so had to drag the kayak over sand.

    I have only one but important question. When you report to the DVLA that you converted a VAN to a CAMPER..... they don't have any problems that you converted the roof? Are there any official guidelines on what needs to be done to strengthen the roof on the sides (cut crossbeams)?

    • @georgescott6671
      @georgescott6671 Год назад

      I'm not planning on talking to the dvla, they have a crazy list of requirements and have been known to reject people even if they've done all of them

    • @TheDreamHazard
      @TheDreamHazard Год назад

      pointless trying to register with DVLA - they don't allow pop-top conversion as campers anyway, best you can get is "van with windows" because they don't have a high roof, you need to be able to stand in the van as is. A full fibreglass high-top conversion is the only way to get it on a low roof van. The requirements are ridiculous and they apparently reject most applications. As long as your insurance company knows it's a camper (or build in progress) then you're all good. Just report the mods to the insurance as and when you install them; I'm with One Call and they don't charge for modifications for a build in progress

  • @Edgunsuk
    @Edgunsuk Год назад

    PS you put the edging on without paining // rustproofing the cut edge its going to rust and run all down the back doors of the van. ALSO your supposed to carpet the inside before you put the edging on as you cant really tuck it under the edging once the window is glued in place .

  • @Edgunsuk
    @Edgunsuk Год назад

    cutting out the shapes was tricky because your supposed to use a nibbler , you can get one for £20 , you cut the beam out with the angle grinder then its a straight run all the way round in one go bit messye as you get steel chips everywhere but its the best tool for the job by far , i put an angle grinder through my hand using it the wrong way round like you did first time .
