What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[JOG]

I fitted a set of Heko's last night. I can't believe how effective a small strip of plastic can be..... and what an easy install.
Looks pretty good too.

Where did you get them?

 

[Skyliner33]

Got Victron Venus OS running on Raspberry PI with touchscreen, and first draft of some 3D printed cases.

Now I can monitor my new solar setup remotely!

Would you mind doing a 'How to ...for dummies'?

Where did you get them?

Veedub Transporters mate. I know they can be found cheaper elsewhere, but I had a code to use from an exchange.

HEKO VW T5/T5.1 "Dark" Wind Deflectors - Vee Dub Transporters

These VW Transporter Wind Deflectors fit into the window channel of your van. They are perfect mods for T5/T5.1/T6/T6.1 transporters

Not today, but Saturday I took a trip over to the @Tourershine drop-in garage

We first popped to Oadby Tyres to get some super smooth goodyear tyres fitted to the new (well used) alloys and a bacon butty.

Then back to the drop-in garage, removed the middle seats and lifted the flooring so we could cover the floor in silentcoat



Big shout to @CarpyT6 for the wheels

No today, but yesterday went for a visit to CRS Performance to have the suspension sorted after camper conversion.
Got new H&R ARBs, Koni active shocks and some spacers to raise up back end.
Total transformation in driving on twisty roads, so money well spent.

Nice! Have you got any pics on the ground showing the ride height?

Then, this is van post conversion and before visit to CRS.
Here is photos of it after visit.
Note that Steve at CRS added spacers to bring rear up by about 25mm

Looking good. How did you manage to lower the driver’s seat? I’d like to improve the rake of mine a bit

Drivers height is adjustable from the factory. The bench is on a MS Craft swivel so higher, have a lowered bench base pending install. That might be the illusion..

That is shit when people do that and drive off,I had it happen to my van only weeks old but lucky for me the lorry driver told me.
You can get the shaft of Ebay and replace it quite easy,also the plastic bits are also available i did my old one and keep it as a spare.
Lots of information of how to do it on the forum.
But still feel your pain.

Last week at 3am, the driver that did this was high as a kite! Luckily he ran out of fuel as he did a 20 point turn outside the house. Now I have the nightmare of dealing with Insurance companies.
