Its really strange, but when we work on high voltage we follow every SSOW to the letter, we have to including permit to work and lock offs, we then work on low voltage and imediately switch off to the dangers. Luckily no harm done but just goes to show.

This campervan I'm building, going to be a lot of 12 volt stuff, should I be worried?

Just make sure it’s well insulated. I’ve been in two cars that caught fire while I was in them. Once when as a passenger in my dad’s Corsair, a wire dropped down from the dash while he was driving. He tucked it back up, it earthed out on something and in seconds the car was full of smoke. He pulled it back down and it stopped but he burnt his hands and had melted plastic on them. Another time, I was driving an Escort with my mate in the passenger seat. When I stopped at a junction and turned the indicator on, smoke bellowed out from the steering column. I switched off, chucked the keys to my mate and said "Quick, get my tools out of the boot". I opened the bonnet, ready to disconnect the battery. He misheard my instruction and thought I meant to save my tools from the burning car so he opened the boot and threw my cantilever tool box as far as he could away from the car! It burst open and tools went everywhere. I didn't bother looking for my 10mm spanner, I just bent and pulled and yanked on the battery lead until it snapped at the terminal.

In both cases though, you couldn’t imagine how quick the car fills with smoke when an unfused electrical wire shorts out. I’m talking just mere seconds before the cabin is filled with a proper choking smoke.

Oddly enough, yes. I converted a T5 a few years ago it cost me an absolute arm and a leg, when I weighed up what it all cost I could have bought a nice used calfornia.

My middle name is danger.

I came across a labourer on several building sites and the guys called him "lucky".
I realised why when I saw his total disregard for danger.
He'd been in many accidents, including badly scarring his face when trying to drop himself down from a porch roof under construction, but he had no sense of danger.
He survived all the times though.

My biggest fear is my face being scarred, that's what keeps me safe. I have a stunning looking face and would be gutted if I spoiled this.

I cannot reveal my identity but I look more like a love island contestant than the rugged tough spark that I am.
