Car Camper 4852 SP

A decent camping trip makes all the hard work worthwhile, and you're bound to come back with a bit of a list. Where's the fun if you didn't?

If you're replacing the diff seal, take a look at this thread, https://forum.commervanfan.co.uk/threads/rear-diff-gasket.8732/#post-148127 to make sure you get the right part.

Thank you! I've done these on cars before, and know they can be a bit of a fight. Thankfully, my van has the handbrake on the rear wheels being an early one, so that should help! I will watch out for the sizes. Does anyone know the original Payen seal number?

What a brilliant trip, over a thousand miles for your first outing is a big ask for the van but it's passed with honours Lovely place to visit too, where you parked in Moffat is the spot the vehicles are gathered together for the run out during the Rootes rally - great memories

No need for a payen number. If you go to Wych Bearings website/oil seals/imperial/select nitrile/select shaft dia/select outside dia...........it will give you a choice of all the thicknesses available........select one of them.

Sounds like a very successful trip, very similar to or first long outing in our new Commer in 1968 from Essex, via Yorkshire, through Glasgow and into the Highlands. we had no mechanical dramas, but the van was only one year old!
