    Too right, for about 4 months!
    First night it looked exactly like this.. not nice, mattress on floor, feet in the walkthrough. The day I got as far as having a R&R bed was bliss!

  2. I’m definitely not alone as there is a mouse so full of nous that it’s taken to blocking the traps!

    4 times in 3 different locations. Incredible.
    Anyone seen or heard of such a thing?

  3. Think my very first night in mine was similar. On the floor, van cover as a mattress/blanket, in an m42 parking lot having been towed there. Mid December, but I had the luxury of windows and doors!
    It can only get better!

    Your van looks amazing.

  7. I think VW took exception to folk using the logo. Might find some on fleaBay?

    I picked up some white ones with black VW logo from ebay, they came from abroad somewhere. As @snotty says VW Don't like their logo being used without paying a licence fee.

    I think they came from eBay a while back, I’ll see if I can find the seller

    I thought about putting them the other side but they didn’t look as good.

    The outriggers are lathered in waxoyl so I hope they will be fine
     
  12. Is there not a special bracket for the fronts, like there is for the rears?
     
  13. Well…without permission.

    My brackets (front and back) came from lhu1281 - can't fault the quality, very happy.

    The problem for me with fitting them to the back side of the outrigger is that bellypans make this impossible. Front side or nuffink. Smallest attachment holes possible (two per flap), stainless hex head self tappers so I can get a socket in to take 'em off if necessary, and quantities of waxoyl. Best I can do. We'll see I guess.

    Mine definitely came from ebay, both front and back (at different times, but could've been the same seller) I'll see if I can find my purchase details, but it might be too long ago (I've been faffing about doing this for years!)
    EDIT: it was ebay seller PORTAWALLCENTRAL, £44 with free postage from Turkey. Looks like he still does the same flaps, but has (presumably had to) remove the VW Logo. Might be worth a message to see if it's possible to get logo ones still.

    I'll keep in looking at eBay for the flaps but nothing :(. Even plain ones would be good. They'll turn up one day.
