What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[n10n]

Out of interest, why don't you want stop/start?

I live in rural area with pretty much zero stop/start in daily use. So… in about 2 years I’ve had the van I’ve not really got used to it. In the rare event there’s an occasion for stop/start it always manages to suprise me and turn engine off just when I’m about to go.

I find it’s good and ok for city driving and rush but since these are an exception for me I rather turn it on when it seems fit.

how did you do that? Looks great!

I've done a little DIY in the interior section I'll do a more in depth for the next one

I picked mine up from the shop,
Give them a call ,might post you one out, you get the right size hole cutter included,
Couldn’t quite see the bumper , I placed a bucket about a foot away and could see it fine, I’m sure the sensors will be screaming by then any way, looking forward to the 8020, any problem with reflection, is the screen vivid

honestly, if I was to do it again, id get the tablet style head unit (can't remember the model number). but it is OK for clarity, but you will defiantly need a screen protector to stop the finger prints. Search my posts, I posted a link for really good screen protectors.

I find it a real PITA, plus I think it puts unnecessary extra strain on the battery and starter motor.

Oh yeah that too although I’m more worried about piping hot turbo not cooling through oil flow when sitting in the junction. Maybe it’s built to last it though, this is just a thought.

Started to look at the 12v / 240v electrics for the van - based around the AllPowers.

Needed to buy a step down 12v-9v to power the security camera that will be mounted inside the van.

Finally got my hands on a previously enjoyed Ovano Switch although you’d never know it was in immaculate condition. It’s a great bit of kit and just what I need to make my work/leisure van so much more practical. Big thankyou to @FaberProjects A pleasure to deal with from start to finish.

Covered the central part of the door in faux suede and painted the rest of the cards

Nice job

Wasn't as easy as I thought and working on it last weekend with the heat was a little challenging

Temporarily installed my Tapo cctv camera to check the field of view.

Spent more money @Absolut5
8020 and amp
And popped in some focals and skinz

This van just doesn’t know when to stop

I really want to look at doing this too. What are you doing for Internet, does that run from a leisure battery?
