Looks good . Just the job👍

Ive the very same bike but without the screen just the buttons with led lights that tell me my gear etc and have the same problem the shop put it oa new display on it and the same on and off .one shop said it was the motherboard which giant themselves confirmed i wouldn't be getting any power to the display if that was the case and no water got near mine as ive it covered and as yous know them motors are pretty solid and i waterproof ed the shell when it was only new ill try a actual display with new buttons but i dont think its the problem

Great advice, top video👍

This was the same reason I to got my 200 Max. Most power stations will power most things in the van. But not many can power diesel heaters has they only have a max of 10 amps and most need around a 15amp fuse to start it. Works great for everything in my van. I don't need a hair dryer. But what you can do to save on power. Is to use your van's diesel heaters heat. Get a new hose, like from a hover hose etc. and make an adaptor to put over the heat vent. This I saw on True Blue Travellers YT channel when they went to Sweden last year.

As a direct result of this video and others by Brilliant Bikes, I’ve changed my Marathons to Continental Urbans ! They run brilliantly and are definitely lighter. I just wondered what pressure you keep yours at. I’m on 100psi front and rear. Opinions vary but I’d value yours. Thank you for all your videos.

These newe power stations seem to be brilliant. I see so many people use them. You have all sorts of sizes and a number of companies.

Wagos not riv nuts. 😂

That's not a proper electrical installation. Just upgraded my RV to 7680 Wh feeding a 3000w inverter capable of 6000w surge. Price for the batteries was about 1100 $ and inverter 380 $. Then of cause there is other stuff going into it, 30A Li Ion charger (for charging batteries when connected to grid), 90A alternator charging, cables, fuses, RCBO's.

That seemed simple. If you're on a site with electrical hook up does it mean when plugging into the mains it charges the Bluetti and this feeds all the power in the van. In other words there isn't a direct connection to the sockets from the mains power? The K I S S principle is always the best approach.👍

Yip that's the way I'm doing my electric simple

That's coming along nicely. I've not come across those roof panels before, looks dead smart. Those old fashioned two screw cable connectors are hard work, especially upside down and one handed. I found a connector where you squeeze a spring loaded plunger, poke the bare wire into the hole and release the plunger. Brilliant invention, works every time and is very quick.

Looking great terry top work

Nice job mate👍

Good luck with your project💪

Thanks for the video. Any laquier coating tending to rust in that way. A friend had a BMX handlebar coated at the same way, any smallest chip of the coating caused those thread-like rust patterns. Nothing bad happened tho, it's just a cosmetical damage. After few years of abuse that handlebar looked like an old rusted fence, lol

Thanks Colin and best wishes to you. No deadline as such, a lot of time and effort gone into it so far and the progress made doesn’t look like it reflects that. I do think we are at a stage now however where progress will be more apparent

That was a cheaper, effective, solution. It was a good idea to add sealant/adhesive to the re-enforcing plates. One added bonus may be to stop any 'buzz' from two bits of metal vibrating against each other. Do you have a deadline to complete the build? Spring seems a long way off but before you know it you'll be wanting to get away somewhere. Happy new year and thanks for posting the videos this year.👍

I think this is a fantastic idea. Im about to install the same in my camper conversion. Having looked at many videos on UA-cam installing the kits, I have one question - why is an earth not needed to be fixed to the metal bodywork? Forgive me if this is a simple question but Im new to this 😊 thanks

Hi Terry, just subscribed after finding you whilst watching Rizal's channel. Love the idea of this excursion, likely to be one I will complete in the near future. Looking forward to following your vlogs. Happy cycling. Mal.

Thanks for this! I would never have realised there was a rotation direction without watching this, and the trick of pushing the beading into the deep part was very useful

That looks a good solution for mains electrics. The wire that runs to the circuit breaker/ sockets will be hidden, I guess? If it is, is it worth running it in some ducting? I'm not an electrician but have wired my own house, getting a qualified guy to inspect my work and sign it off. Apart from one socket that had a poor earth it was OK. When the van is a camper will you have to change the paperwork? Thanks for the latest on the van, hope filming isn't slowing progress too much.

me with my 2 months continental and allready having a flat being convinced that the continental was bad

Great record of your trip Terry. Second time I've watched this in fact 👍 What rack do you use on your Brompton. I'm looking to buy one for my own C-Line 👍 Thanks and keep up the camping videos, I really enjoy them 🙂

The new G-line which has 20" wheels will come in Small, Medium, and Large.

You know I wonder if the fasteners on these are metric, SAE, or Whitworth?

Offroad 16-inch tires exist. I'd finally worn my Burley trailer tires down to where they must have been paper thin, and found a pair of tires in a local bike shop, semi-knobby, like you'd find on a mountain bike these days. And they only cost me $15 each. Now, if I get a Brompton A-line which I'm seriously considering, I might take the stupid "bald" tires off of it and put 'em on my trailer and put the semi-knobbies on the Brompton, or I might put Schwalbe Marathons on the Brompton and donate the "bald" tires to my local bike clinic.

I like to use a product called "slime" in my bike tubes. It essentially self-heals most punctures. So that's a possibility also if you can get it. It's kind of yukky when you eventually need to change out the tube, but it's a small matter to clean up the inside of the tire. It does add some weight though if you're a weight fanatic.

Hopefully you've found a permanent fix. I've no real experience of fixing leaks on camper conversions but have had a fair bit on boats and houses. What I've found is that sometimes the fix isn't long lasting. Ageing of the sealant plus expansion and contraction and in the case of boats, movement. I discovered that non-setting mastics worked far better. Glad you haven't had to try getting the window out! Do you think the shape of the glass and the shape of the van were far enough out to cause the gaps? Maybe the professionals put pressure on the glass to squash it harder against the sealer?

Does the kit used for packing around the bike get damaged? It looks quite vulnerable to movement and potential abuse.

Great video again i know whos doing my windows on next van 😂 My door window leaked in the same place all i did was put clear CT1 sealant around the top been fine for the last 5 years since

Great video terry bromptons now vans call your self a professional

Excellent Video👌👌👌 Thank you very, very much ! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

It always looks easy when you look on UA-cam Terry. The problem is getting the window out without breaking it. Unless you can seal from outside. But how long will that last. Like everything they never give you any extra to do the job bare minimum

I didn't expect that. Strange it leaked as I'm sure you used plenty of sealant. It may be possible to seal it in situ but my hunch is to fix it properly you'd have to remove it and try again with more sealant. I wonder if you could soften the glue with a heat gun, low setting and keep it moving? Then remove the window, clean off any sealant and have another go. I remember when I fitted a sun roof to a car back in the 80's I took a deep breath when slicing into the roof panel. I'm sure you'll find a solution, you seem like a practical chap. Good luck.

HI , where did you buy the packs of Celotex from ?

Hi Terry I want to purchase a rack for my C-line Brompton but am unsure of the best option to go for. Would you mind doing a review of the rack and Easy-wheels on your bike to see if they'd be a good option for me? Many thanks and keep up the videos 👍 Mark

That sounds like a nice project. We've thought about getting one several times but always ruled it out as we really only want to run one vehicle, plus I don't like driving that much. I've seen a lot of converted vans from the really poor to ones that have been first class. One, converted from a builders van (VW) to a really luxury campervan. He works as a car sprayer so had access to all the kit needed. Thanks for the video, looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Plenty of space for a couple of Bromptons in there son :-D

The bike looks awesome ! Is there a video if that coloring brompton ?

Very useful! I have watched the videos which Brilliant Bikes do which are also very helpful, but one thing they didn't show was turning the cylinder bit over, though I'd read that you could do that. I'm just fitting a Brooks B67 onto my Brompton, having removed it from one of the other 2 bikes I have, one which I don't ride so much. I actually feel sad removing it but can't afford to buy a 3rd Brooks!

I was considering these tires for my MTB. I ride roads, streets, bike paths, and hardpack gravel/dirt mostly. I was looking for something with good puncture protection and low rolling resistance. Conti's Contact Urban comes in a lot of sizes too.

Fantastic job 👍

Quite the inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Such a helpful video thank you. The Topeak saddlebag, tent etc. You use is normally what weight? What is the maximum weight on the seat post ? Here’s what I estimate: Brompton lists weight limits for the front carrier block and the rear rack, 22# each max, but not the seatpost that I have found. The maximum weight on any bike is usually 242 pounds. So if the front bag is loaded at 22 pounds max, the rider plus the TOPEAK bag can only be 220 pounds max - meaning I’ve got a lot of weight to use before I use your method!

My wife would have loved the fireworks! Once again your trip proves you don't have to go far to have a great adventure. Luckily you had a dry night so a bivvy bag worked well. I still think I prefer a tent but like the speed and simplicity of a bivvy. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Must be a great bike if you are wearing Rims out ...... You must enjoy it a lot .... going into depth about it so much ...... I have one and i love them

Excellent idea if you're around sea air. Lighter, stronger is always positive.

Loved the beach fireworks 👍

Steel frame would defo need a good wash near sand!!

Another awesome Brompton bike-packing video. Thanks for sharing Terry.
