    Mel, I’m so glad your trip to my shed in darkest rural Somerset proved so successful, not only a win for your access issue, but a happy and comfortable Becky as well 😊 Love it, and a pleasure to entertain you both here too. I’m under pressure now to relieve myself of the other ‘builders yard’ stuff generated by my hoarding instincts over the years!! Well done engineering it all in😊❤

    Hello you Two - Absolutely love ALL your vids ~ a definite inspiration (speaking as someone who has problems using a hammer...) seriously though, have you made any of your wonderfully informative and abnormally amusing vids related to Becky’s Transit custom build? I would love to see how to install the underslung water tank(s) and electrical system. Any chance? Love you both.. xx

    Grt video Mel, as an avid fan can I ask a daft question...totally unrelated to this video. So I understand the principle of Dc too Dc; but instead linking a van battery upto a lithium battery could I link up too a power pack instead?? This electrics really confusing,just getting to grips with how to link it all up then “poof “😳it’s gone in my brain🤪🤪. 🙏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

      im using 3 of these in my sprinter one for each bluetti B230 Expansion Battery shrsl.com/4mark and one to the AC200Max shrsl.com/4marr
      I have all 3 connected to one VSR that is connected to my engine battery. hope this helps.Hi Jan yes you can use a VSR along with a DO50s DC Charging Enhancer shrsl.com/4mar4

    Hi Mel, just looking at that base lid catch, will it hold the seat/occupant in event of collision with the seat belt attached to it? 🤔 Maybe have to attach belt buckle to the base/floor of van mate👌👍

    Can you do this??? I know you can do this. Your Mel !. But do you need to change any of the vans papers to say that the van is now a single or a 2 seat or from 3 seats in the front to 2 seats in the front etc. (please tell me you know where I'm going with this)?

      @SACREDTRAVELLER 4 месяца назад +1

      When I changed my seat in my last van, you just amend the seat on the V5C and send it off. The dvla send you out a new form that says change of seat from 3 to 2 👍🏻

    Hi Mel.
    I've been following your video's for some time, great stuff. I believe you have changed the taxation class of your sprinter. I'm in the middle of sorting my sprinter out. Question will the DVLA except a C bracket for my auning, I noticed in one of your video's you fitted a C bracket. I have tried contacting them, no joy. The DVLA just state the requirement awning bracket?

  • @petersmith2325
    @petersmith2325 3 месяца назад
