Hi Peter, not sure if you’ll get this message but here goes. Am I able to fit the battery master between a 110ah lithium leasure battery and a 12 volt starter lead acid battery? 😊
Roof straps look a pain? He struggled with swivel seat more than I would like? But other than that, great How good is the heating in this van? And can you use water, the sink in the winter when it's -4 degrees? I am looking to buy something like this or similar for a cash purchase in next 2 months. This will be to live in when working away on building sites Hope you can help with my comments?
Very informative video, thank you. Did you match your Reimo seat upholstery with your Renault seats at the front? Looks very nice. I'm looking at a Rib bed with the T6.1 bricks fabric. Lovely seat, but I'm so reluctant to change my Renault seats up front to match the Rib. Decisions eh? Thanks again.
You really threw money on that camper £1,000 for a hob, which is a pain waiting 10 minutes to use and is impossible to simmer, that pricey fridge, sliding seat which isn't that comfortable if you need a topper. You ask why people (like me) buy a SWB is that 95% sold are SWB, so a huge price difference secondhand unless you are lucky, but I would have liked one. In my experience the Vauxhall/Opel Vivaro is a much better vehicle than the Trafic and of course the transporter which has many expensive flaws. My daughter had a new g/box in her Trafic, my Vivaro is good. The twin seat is better if you have a dog, it take 30 seconds to swivel. The Vivaro is well finished up front. I bought my 08 Vivaro for £3200 8 years ago and kitting out for £1k including swivel base, so a big difference. In 8 years I new gear select gate £40 , new handbrake cables and 2 brake discs that's it. Vivaro the best van of ALL!!! Great to drive, cheap to run and 40mpg, 300+ nights and 60,000miles on, my only regret, not to find a LWB. Plus the Vivaro is least cool camper, I admit.
I have my solar panel charging both the leisure and vehicle battery, but while the engine is not running. Can I ask is it safe to run the vehicle whist the solar panel... through the solar controller)... is still connected to the vehicle battery? I ask this because will the heavy charge coming from alternator feed back into the solar panel and burn it out as it could do that I suppose. I have an in line fuse from the vehicle battery to the solar panel controller where there are 2 connections for 2 batteries, No1. I have the leisure battery and No2. I have the vehicle battery connected, as I only have one leisure battery I didn't want to waste that No2 battery input at the solar controller panel. Can you advise please?
Short wheel base Volkswagen transport better for parking better down narrow lanes ,and you can use it as a daily drive. That’s why people go for. Short wheelbase. Oh, they older price better do the Volkswagen’
thinking about gettting one of these for my narrowboat , i have a couple of questions you may be able to help me with , can i connect straight to the starter battery & leisure batteries by just connecting lugs that fit battery terminals ? does this unit come with longer wires or would i need to connect more wire myself to fit where i need this to go ? thanks for your help
Great channel Peter, just subbed. I’m looking for a used camper just for myself, I’m 6ft tall…Budget 12k /14k. What would you recommend? I do like the Alpard, seems value for money compared to a VW. Thanks, regards, Rob.
Useful and quality video 👍 With a payload of just over 400kg, transporting 5 passengers means no luggage or water whatsoever. I like these vans but the inability to store a bike or anything else bulky inside the van, overnight, means I went for something bigger
This is very helpful, I’m currently looking at a randger 535, the selling point for me is a bathroom but not many going around. Does the 1.6 pull well in your van?
