UK Passports
However, be aware that they now only accept a passport as being valid for ten years from date of issue. So those extra months tacked onto the end don't count towards the six remaining months. Max

Hi Folks, For anyone with a van conversion. Just an update on my previous post regarding simple fix to aid "soft closure" of the sliding door. Usually it takes a lot of momentum to close the door. Thi

airconditioning
This will slowly increase the humidity in the van, which in turn will decrease the efficiency of the unit, to the point it stops working. So the damp air needs venting to the outside. https://en.m.wik

Hi folks, London was easy to avoid, but now things are going to get a whole lot more complex unless your van is to latest emissions standards. Various different requirements in multiple zones... Great

Window & roof light seals
Hi, I find that a little bit of talcum powder on the rubber window seals stops them sticking. Just apply sparingly with a finger. No fear of rotting the rubber. Cheers Max.
