try taking a big snazzy picture of bacon sarnies along with borrowing above pic of tea and lovely biccies - you never know, added temptation might just tip the balance:p:p:p


Wish I was closer to come and partake of a woolfy welding weekend, promise is only the distance that puts the mockers on it for me[V]

Great progress on interior - looks like a very British way of enjoying a weekend:D:p[^]

hi chris, i have a few Ran based questions.
Ive just got a new gas can for her so thats all in place and the stove is working a treat. there is a tap that is at the bottom of the cooker that is not plugged in to anything, do you know what this is for?. ive not bothered with the fridge, as i wont need it but im guessing that runs of the gas as well if i turn on the fridge tap. Also with the lights inside the van im guessing that they run of the seperate battery, which then re charges as the van drives. i met up with my mate who has a van that moves on to the main battery after the lesiure one has run out, so it got me worrying. No worrys if you dont know the answers but thought id ask...
Got to sort out Rans fuel tank which is leaking on the top seal, i filled her up today and noticed the smell so now im watching my money drip away. As im guessing getting a new tank would be a bugger, im proberly going to have to patch it up with fibre glass, for the time being
 
i can help you with a tank as i am making some aluminium ones fairly soon :)

There should be full wiring diargrams for the electrics with the manual,all hand written by previous owner on folded a4,I never really understood them fully either ,but I did use the issolator accidently once(don't touch the switch behind drivers seat)!you might have to post a pic with the tap below cooker?I think you mean the fridge,but it could be extra gas tap for a cupboard mounted gas heater?I know someone has one may be Ray?The fridge I did use on 12v only it's well worth it but make sure you turn it off at end of journey as it will zap battery, engine running only,so can be used while driving,then switch to gas if you dare I never did I found it stayed cold enough to keep bassics like milk butter,I also used a cool box.Gas before journey to get cold switch off gas at bottle too! once your packed & fridge loaded,with enging running turn on 12v small metal switch at bottom left of fridge,don't forget to switch it off at your destination. Get a fire extinguisher too..

Tank sound good,keep me posted...
I had a note on ran from another commer driver, he has no internet so had no idea there were other ones about, i had a good chat with him and will hopefullly meet up with him at a local show soon. He has a van that he uses daily and has had loads over the years. But no idea about other driver or there vans, so was pleased to here they are about.

I think your right Chris about it being a spare tap for a heater, thats what it looks like. I wont bother with that one or the fridge, its just the cooker im interested in. I tried to read through the notes etc on the battery but i was still left confused, il have to have another good look.
cheers then Matt
 
Hi Matt - Bessie has 2 of the gas take-off taps - one by fridge and one by back door. Am also guessing that they are for heaters or for budding scientists to run their bunsen burners from out on location:D

If you haven't seen it already this is thread for Ran during her happy time with Chris (Don't look Chris[V], or if you do think happy thoughts:))

Not sure how far in it gets but there are some bits about wiring/leisure battery type stuff in there with pics of wiring diagram;)

I have the same connection in the corner where the bench seat meets the fridge cupboard. Harvey also came with the gas fire to run off the connection, there is a pieces of rubber pipe attached to the fire that just pushes onto the stub end of the valve. It looks kinda dangerous so I haven't actually tried it[xx(], I would imagine it would get warm very quickly inside the van with the fire on [:0]

I would recommend having new connecting piping with correct fittings fitting Mr Panky!..My local gas fitting supplier tells me rubber piping is date stamped and regulations require new piping after a certain age for obvious reasons!.
We all like a warm van, but not that warm!!..
