I suppose at some point in the past Brit Stops was rather unique in that it provided information before the more wide spread use of the internet. Now I am not sure why you would want to subscribe as the information is out there for free. I get the bit about liking the idea of a book, I am the same, but its a bit old fashioned now. I suppose in the social media age Brit Stops could only survive if they had exclusive rights to the stopping places? I imagine you are in a minority of people who don't want access to the internet when you are away? The world changes, far too fast for some of us! Hopefully you can still find places you like to stop at and enjoy.

There are several apps offering the same thing now, and most of the locations aren’t specific to Britstops, so why pay is my point. I just liked the book, as did many others. But the world changes:)

Can i ask where you got the flares from? Im 6'4 and struggling to sort a van design thst fits. 👍
@TheadventuresofFatboy 2 ай бұрын
Hi, I got my flares from a guy in Leeds. Sorry I can't remember his name. You want to go large with these. Mine give 6'6 down to 6'3 with some dodo insulation and carpeting. But at 6'2 it works great for me. You just need to have the bed high enough. I used the scorva beams from Ikea and riveted them to the van. If its just you you can sleep diagonally easily. With company you will need the bigger flares:)

Great job explaining all the details of using this product. The van does look great and I'm sure you are proud of the look. Yes, it could use another coat of the green but it might have been fine if you had put a cheap primer down first to have a uniformly colored base to cover. I am about to paint a teardrop style camper I built from scratch. This is my first time attempting a vehicle paint job and I have decided to roll it on also while painting inside my air conditioned garage as it is 90-100 degrees farenheit outside here in Texas this time of year. Wish me luck!

@@TheadventuresofFatboy It turned out really nice. I bought a kit of 6 liters that included a green tint to be mixed in. After applying that I decided it was too dark and so I found a custom auto paint supplier who mixed a custom color for me. I used the textured roller for the first (dark) coat so I decided to use a smooth roller for the lighter coats and that worked great.

We added two rape alarms. One works on the awning zipper pull it up out goes pin IF you are a deep sleeper the SECOND one is on the interior of the van door. If forced open it pulls pin so then you have two going off. Trust me I'm partially deaf in both ears and even I get woken up as we did a practise run one night whilst on a fishing trip. I went back to the van got changed climbed into our bed fell asleep to be woken by Mr looney tunes attempting to gain entry. Weapons in the van nah just me with my hand with some skin on it and oh yeah a plastic floppy spatula. Yep I have used a preemptive strike as I was in fear for my safety. You forgot that we'll known evil and dastardly hairdressers comb yes one of my course trainers got a pile of items out for us to pick out a weapon. Lol I was sat on the desk smirking he looked at me scowling and said OK clever clogs you pick one. I replied all of them and I got a ribbing but I was right no-one else had thought about the comb. Plastic head with teeth but long metal handle.

The only way to sort those lower body panel seam joints is to pull the sealant out, then you can properly get into it. Whatever you have to do to get it all clean then work from there. Those lower panels can move against each other a tiny bit, they’re not very well supported. If you can be bothered it’s a good move to spray the reverse side of them inside the sill cavities with a decent creeping wax like Dinitrol ML. Your technique is what made it a turn out good job
