Van Conversion, then Travels in Foxy the Van.
Join us as we convert our 2017 Renault Master into a Campervan, which we have named Foxy.
Once converted, and even before it's finished, we'll be hitting the road for various trips out for maybe just one night, or even a fortnight.
From when I used to be a Rock Star ;)

Common problem is the bottom uj on the column it will likely return, infact im replacing my trafic uj as its returned so just going to replace as grease in bearings dry out causing your exact problem, but for future reference the big rubber grommet where column goes through the floor should give better access and litterally a 2 second job pull it out and with straw on wd40 nozzle, jobs a good un lol

I’m sure you’ve sorted it by now. But I think I saw somewhere that the 30amp charger is too big for lead acid battery. Maybe that’s why the settings weren’t there in the app. I think an 18amp charger may have been more suitable. I may be wrong.

Hi Ben. I bought this particular model on the advice of the supplier, who knew exactly what system I had in place. He told me exactly what settings to put it on after I contacted him for advice. 10 months on, and it's working a treat. the battery has never failed us, and we have just been away 4 nights, and used it all the time. Fingers crossed it stays this way :) Thanks for watching by the way. Take care.

You can actually buy a centre stand for the tv which attaches where you would screw in a wall mount. Amazon have them. A lot of tv’s have legs akimbo which is no good for a shelf in the caravan. We have just been looking for a larger caravan tv/dvd combi - as you say dvds are useful when away and no signal. Love watching old box sets when away.

We were at Blue Dolphin near Filey at the end of May this year and were there last year as well. Did Monday to Friday and went for the Hideaway option which means you don't get to go in the showbars, swimming pools etc. It's even cheaper and is great for exploring the North Yorkshire coast and having a place to lay your head when you get back at the end of the day. Sadly, this year it rained - a lot - so it wasn't as enjoyable as the year before. The weather makes such a difference. The last time we went to Lakeland was 1997, another trip could be on the cards.

Hi, did you get it sorted ? I am just about to fit it and your video is the only one showing how to fit this particular model. I have made the holes already to cut the roof, but having second thoughts now after reviewing your video. Is this roof vent very bad ? I bought it less then one month. Thanks
@foxystravels
@foxystravels Месяц назад
Hi there, and thanks for watching. It's actually been ok for the last six months or so, and hasn't come open at all, but it did do it for a couple of months or more. Maybe it was all a bit stiff, and it's just worked itself right. Maybe give it a little spray with WD40 and wiggle it about. I wouldn't worry about fitting it, apart from make sure you have got all the filings off the roof properly, cause it has caused tiny little rust marks on mine.
