Hi thanks for the comments. So I’ve used most things apart from the LED light and the fire extinguisher thankfully. The Ridge Monkey is really good and gets used often.

Thanks for the comments and good advice 👍

Thanks for the useful info. The pot scrubber idea sounds good 👌

Yes sorry I didn’t film that part and realised after that I hadn’t

@@nickharper6436 Thanks anyway. Your video was helpful. I found a German video where the installation of the strips was explained. I know English better. Happy summer and greetings from Finland.

Yes I could have kicked myself for missing that bit and realised once Id stick it down but no going back at that point 🙈

Hi Andy it’s in the drivers side wheel arch behind the wheel towards the top of that makes sense. I squeezed mine by reaching down inside the engine bay. Squash the pipe vigorously as I did mine and it eventually cleared. Hope this helps.

@@nickharper6436 that’s great, thanks Nick.

No worries and glad you found it useful.

Hi they are the HEKO ones which I got of eBay

Many thanks for your comments and glad you found the video useful 👍

Hi I fitted Sumo springs to the front as well. Link here to the video: ua-cam.com/video/Dcx2SLjAu9c/v-deo.htmlsi=CoBZsLOCRPBETxIu

Ideally that would be the case. I’ve added double leaf springs so they are just clear now. Thanks for your comments.

Hi thanks for watching the video. I got mine off Amazon and they did come from the US. Rhodes vans also used to sell them but not sure if they still do.

Fantastic idea, thanks Edward

Thanks for the comments Gary. I think regular use is the best preventative measure but as you say undercover otherwise. Some of the external screens cover the drain holes and would prevent water getting in the engine bay possibly.

Thanks I hadn’t noticed these. I’ll have a look 👀

We’re do I get them gas bottles?

Try LPG Shop. Here is a link lpgshop.co.uk/safefill-gas-bottle-large-10kg-lpg-refillable/?sku=400290&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_e2wBhAEEiwAyFFFo8mKWnCLZgCEaYk-6TJXE9V5E83nUVlHWjKbVFdAqW45j4LtOimXoxoCEGwQAvD_BwE

Hi Janine, this was fitted to the vehicle from new so it was a fitment by Adria. The Ducato van from new does have a system though. Hope this helps

Same here 5’7 and i want to be able to put a bike cover on. I was wondering about the disadvantages of using the lowest position for the platform on the Thule - I also have an Adria on a Ducato. I note that all of the reviews seem to have gone for the middle position.

I’m 5’10 but you could buy the carriers at the lower level. I sometimes use a small folding step and that helps especially when putting a cover on.

I would think you could use the lower position without any problem. I use a folding plastic step now which makes it easier. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for the comments Mark. Yes there are some nice spots around here but sounds like your ok only 55 mins away from the water 👍

Thanks for the comments. The windows were already fitted to the van and I believe they are made by dometic but not 100% sure.

Thanks for the comments. Yes you have to keep an eye on it but especially if parking the MH up over winter for example. Glad you found it useful

Hi these are the ones I purchased from Amazon the fronts are: SuperSprings CSS-1195 | Coil SumoSprings for various applications | 1.95 inch inner wall height, Black And the rear are Supersprings SSR-313-54 SumoSprings

Thanks for the comments. Not for me personally as I left every thing connected and just laid the seat to the rest giving access to the batteries rather than taking to seat completely out of the van.

Hi thanks for the comments. Not initially but later fitted SUMO springs front and rear and HD leaf springs on the rear. I’ve lined the videos below which may be of interest to you. ua-cam.com/video/CW6tsStf8Ck/v-deo.htmlsi=258HJbMJ3iriZif2 ua-cam.com/video/Dcx2SLjAu9c/v-deo.htmlsi=2C6D4VF7T3rODpht ua-cam.com/video/Fm3afkwuYpA/v-deo.htmlsi=faWOLZwT9Jh1zWm1

Hi thanks for the comments and sorry the vid didn’t show the fitting of the brackets. I was concentrating on getting it right and forgot the camera 🙈. The glue I used was sikaflex 252 that I got from Amazon. Hope this helps

@@nickharper6436 Hi Nick, this doesn't particularly help, as it sounds as though you're relying entirely on the Sika 252 to hold up the laden rack! From the video it looks like there are clamps of some kind that slot over each side of the door - can you confirm? Thanks!

Yes there is clamps at either end of the brackets that are screwed up snug but not too tight to buckle the door edges.

@@nickharper6436 Thank you for taking the time to reply 😊

Glad you found the video useful and thanks for the comments.

You’ll save a lot of money on exchangeable bottles for sure 👌

Hi David yes they have gone up in price considerably since I fitted mine in 2022. Just looked on Amazon order history and mine cost me £260. They are now £440 😳. That said they are still really good but not necessarily a cheaper option that airbags but are easier to fit than airbags so could save something on fitting if you did a diy job as opposed to getting a fitter to fit the airbags. Both are good options although I have seen on a forum of some having problems with airbags leaking etc.

Thanks Nick

Yes you can but I haven’t relied on SUMOs totally and also fitted HD leaf springs!

Yes I forgot to do that and kicked myself after for not filming it 🙈. Thanks for the comments though and sorry it wasn’t much use to you!

@@nickharper6436 Well, I appreciate you getting back to me. Sorry for being so harsh. Had a bad day.

No worries we all have them

Hi Peter and thanks for your comments. I’ll think about that in the future although there was a decent amount of inside the van IMO

Hi thanks for the comments and yes it wasn’t disconnected!

Yes I can on my van which has the one blind that pulls up from the bottom of the screen. I’m not sure about the ones that pull from the sides though but would have thought there would be enough clearance.

@@nickharper6436 thanks for that. Any more video to come out soon ?

Yes hopefully. I upgraded the headlights so got to edit that one and also some lights on the inside too!

@@nickharper6436 look forward to it 👍🏻

Thanks for the comments and yes I think they are assisters as you say. I put SUMOs on the front to. It has made a difference to the ride but only a slight increase in height to counteract my double leaf springs

Yes I’m certainly happy with mine and thanks for the comments

No worries and glad you found it useful

I didn’t clamp it in a vice and a bit of force with a socket and hand holding the Sumo spring on the floor did it for me.

Ok thanks. I’ll try and source a longer socket wrench handle.

I’m sure that will sort it Robert. Hope it all goes well

Hi Nick, Success! I invested in a strap wrench that allowed me to get enough purchase on the sumo spring in order to undo the bolt. Thanks for the info.

@@robertprice5087 cool glad you got it sorted Robert 👍

Many thanks for your positive comments and a peaceful Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family.

Thanks for the comments. I bought them of Amazon and they came from the US but had to pay tax but were still cheaper than uk prices at the time!

Do you have a link?

Thanks for the comments. No I didn’t disconnect the battery as I wanted to trace back to see where the fault was.

Thanks for the comments Sandie. I put a sandisk 64GB which works well. Mine was the basic model which is ok but you can get them from Road Angel with a higher resolution.

Many thanks for the comments

3.5 Tonne

Thanks Dave, yes I do use gloves all the time now when filling!

We all make the odd mistake especially when speak to camera! Thanks for pointing it out though.

Thanks for the comments Tom and hope the instal goes well.
