Hi S, It is dome shaped, so would resist displacement somewhat, and if it was my van I would work along monitoring, and maybe shoring up as I went. But the time has passed and the van had gone on holiday when I was there, so no foaming. Cheers, C

Hi K, Too pessimistic ;) C

Hi S, I'll allow an extra 1/2 bag :) Thanks, C

Hi N, (for-four) Ok, thanks. E

Hi, Hong Kong blues (Hoagy Carmichael) (Wind up record player, my 12th birthday present :) ) C

Hi, I removed 3x bricks for inspection of cavity, which now need re-fitting. Will someone give me an estimate of how much mortar I'll need to re-fit them please? (I have the lime for the mix) C

Hi L, I had a lintel question, and phoned a structural engineer, who was friendly and looked at my photos, and after a chat, said my suggestion would be ok (no charge), and was then passed by building control. C

Hi A, MAN was suggested to me, and they fit the bill, and on further investigation found they are VW copies. Looking back, my Renault Master was the same as Vauxhall, Nissan and I think one other, so are they all much of a muchness? C.

Hi M, My old van is 2004 and still working ok, but yes, I now see this is a bit too old. It was a suggestion below. C

Hi A, I converted a 2004 Renault Master, it was reliable, and it served me well. The gears had to be coaxed sometimes, and I fit a new starter motor, and all of the servicing type things. I think the Nissan, Vauxhall, and Renault were the same. Anyway, I'm also looking for a new van, so I'll...

Hi A, I stopped using social media years ago. C.

Hi B, Yes, when I did a conversion, I insulated before fitting panels, but this has to happen between quick visits to my niece, so it's foam or nothing Thanks, C

Hi 23 I was going to work my way along to the end drilling small holes. It felt very hot to the touch, and it was the simplest idea I could possibly try. C

Hi D, I will be visiting for too short time to do a proper job. C

Hi, I've asked the same question in CARS. My niece has a VW camper van with a hot roof lining. I propose to insulate it using expanding foam, by injecting it into the 1 inch gap between lining and roof. It is 1/8 inch plywood, and has the rear end open. I was thinking that if I drilled holes...

Hi, I found this and it looks interesting, thanks. https://campernation.co.uk/collections/vw-crafter-campervan-conversion-kits C

Hi J and K, I'll have very little time, so no work involved, just expanding foam. What would be the best way? I think that as one end it open (by accident) I'll drill holes at the sealed end and let it creep down the van. Thanks for both suggestions though. C

Hi, I want to buy a van for a motorhome conversion. I've done it before, with a Renault master. I hoped for a hybrid, but from what I've seen there don't seem to be any/many to choose from. I have a Toyota corolla car derived van at the moment, it's far too small, but I have gotten to like the...

Hi, My niece has a VW campervan, that has a lined roof. 1/8inch plywood, with a 1inch gap, but it feels hot in the sun. I suggested filling in with expanding foam, but as I will be doing it, am a bit worried about blowing the lining off the roof. Has anyone done this before and can give me...
