I know yeah. I've made a promise now.I remember you telling not to spend much more in the near future the you picked up the roof bars...
Front lights and single passenger seat, then I'm done.
Apart from servicing
I promised myself to buy just the new van in 2024.
6 months later:
Pop top, forty winks, pull out kitchen, new wheels and tyres, captain seats on swivels, bike rack, spoiler, ….
What a money pit..
Just fitted this, arrived from Travellin Lite
The other one i fitted last week wasn't to my liking, so i sold it

I’d buy it off you.
Its only the top cap bud. If you've got an exeude knob then I'll sell you top bit
Bought myself a better bracket, which is actually designed for a transporter. Fitted it, but I'm not keen on the setup as yet. The tv is also now 12v, as I made the loom up using a lead off eBay and a step up transformer from 12 to 19v
I think there are site rules about this sort of lewd request...
Your just jealous that it’s not your purple knob I wantI think there are site rules about this sort of lewd request...
Probably true... it's probably due to my having a terribly tatty and worn gaitor!Your just jealous that it’s not your purple knob I want

As many of you will know, I had my interior retrimmed when I bought my rock n roll bed.
I went from this
To this
We then started using the van, camping in various locations over the U.K.
As time went on, the urge was there to get a single passenger seat, mainly because the bench seat was really uncomfortable on long journeys (common problem with bench seats)
So out it come!
I sold the seat on eBay, then sold the swivel base on here. The search began for a passenger captain seat.
I genuinely never realised how hard it was to find a passenger captain seat, with the base and the black plastics but without the ridiculous price tag. No lie, people were looking for £1,000-1,495 and miles away from me. After 3 weeks searching, this one popped up on fb marketplace, so I snapped it up!
I drove to Derby, grabbed some lunch with the mrs then went to collect it, fitting it on his drive.
I've now booked it in with Streamline Auto Beds to have it trimmed in same fabric as my other interior. In total, this chair with a swivel has cost over £1500
I also got a spare piece of mdf from work and decided to make a shelf inside the kitchen unit for more space, just need to wrap it in matching vinyl (ordered)
I also built two wood panels for behind the seats, but they'll be wrapped in the left over stretch carpet I have which matches the walls in the van.

Had these blanks arrive in the post yesterday to cover the holes left from the bench seat
Fitted them (floor needs a clean)
I then got home from work to a package, a swivel bracket from camperhappy.co.uk.

I recently bought a real carbon bumper trim off @Pedro20001 for my rear bumper.
Weather was great, so I went to fit it.
After removing my old one, I discovered that the previous owner was intact a massive cock womble, gluing it to the bumper with grab adhesive.
I tried everything, but nothing would remove it
So Today, this arrived from veedub transporters
Clamped it down to let the tape adhere to the bumper. Luckily it's an exact match to my old one shape wise. I think i got away lightly!

Excellent job mate, looks great
Keep an eye on that mate. I had the same one previously & now have a small damaged area in the paintwork on the right hand bottom edge of my barn door where it slightly rubbed against the raised bits.
Ah shit, I will do bud. It seems like it clears doors quite well at min
