Converting a heavy-duty bus/coach/truck into a motorhome (page 96 of 161)

May this new year bring you happiness, health, prosperity, work, and more...

For health, I’m thinking especially of ggdbdb65, whom I hope recovers quickly😎

For prosperity, I’m thinking especially of gasmobil (does your wife still want to go for the fifth one?)😉

For work, I’m thinking especially of my buddy Sjunior😕

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone—those I see from time to time, those I talk to on the phone, those I chat with on this forum, and, while we’re at it, also to all of you reading this😛 And if I can make a wish for 2007:

Let’s all complain a little less! When we live in a world where a child dies of hunger every 6 seconds in Africa, even if everything isn’t perfect, let’s be happy to live in the society we have here!

And last point: MORE THAN EVER, LONG LIVE MOTORHOMES IN 2007!

Good evening and best wishes to everyone... I was wondering if, with all this going on, there’s any idea when the next meet-up will be so I can plan ahead... Christobale

good evening, best wishes to everyone and a happy new year to all

Hey everyone, and happy New Year to you all!

I’d love some advice on choosing between 12V and 24V converters—what’s the best call? When it comes to batteries, 12V or 24V, how many can you wire in parallel, and which battery type should you go for? What about a generator?

Here’s what I need to power:

* Washing machine * Stove * Fridge * Freezer * Oven * Electric water heater * Various lighting (lamps) * Miscellaneous 220V outlets * TV * DVD player * Computer and other PC accessories

You forgot the vacuum cleaner and the hair dryer for the missus 😛

Hey there, happy new year and best wishes! I’ve got another question on top of the dashboard—do you happen to know the power output of the alternator on the E7? Thanks in advance, I need it to finally place my order, which has been dragging on for 4 months already. Thanks again!

hi everyone, wishing you a happy new year and all the best for 2007, and that all your projects come to fruition

hi tortue26🙂 happy new year and best wishes for 2007😎

😉Don’t fight to reply

Can you go to Veritas or another approved center instead of the one in your home department?😛

hey mrkonn

we should give them a bit more time—they still haven’t quite recovered from New Year’s 2007 yet😛

🙂 My best wishes to everyone, especially for good health—everything else will follow.😉

Your question isn’t clear. For Véritas, since there isn’t one per department, yes, in Sarthe (72) there isn’t one on the DRIRE list. You’ll only find the contact details for the one in Nantes (44), but I went to the one in Angers (49). For the DRIRE, it’s a NO—you MUST go to the one in your department.

😉THANKS, I’m asking because the Veritas guy near me is a mess to see—my first phone contact with him was rough🙁(not very friendly🙁)

Thanks again, I’ll look elsewhere

Hello there! I'd like to know if it's tough to "build" your own camper van. I'm only 13 years old and I've got this project to turn a semi-trailer into a camper! The problem is I'm totally lost—where should I even start? Thanks for answering, please!

hi BENHURD🙂 I’d like to know if I can be featured on the website😕 I’d love that—it’d give me some ideas for fitting out my future camper van thanks😉

Happy New Year everyone! There aren’t many of us up north, but we start young... right, Jack? Welcome to you. Benhurd isn’t far from you, and neither am I. If you’ve got time, you should go back and read from nearly the beginning of the forum for info. If I remember correctly, there was *L’Alchimiste* who talked about converting a semi into a camper. It’s not easy for communication between the driver’s cab and the rest... and then there’s the issue with the number of seats because no one’s allowed to be in the semi while it’s moving. So that’s limiting! Think it over and keep me posted. See you soon

Hey there, Jacksparrow6 😉

Like you, I’ve always been passionate about motorhomes!

Small or big (preferably big!).

If you wanna see a nice semi-trailer conversion, check out team-negoce’s site. There’s one done for a race car driver.

Also, you seem like an OL fan 😉, just like my oldest son who’s the same age as you and is also really into the work I do on my bus!

I’m lucky enough to know some people at the company that handles the OL players’ buses.

I’ll post some photos at the bottom of this page...

I’m not sure you can fully grasp all the legal and regulatory stuff at 13. My personal advice? Get your heavy-goods vehicle (HGV) license first, then see if you’re still motivated. I get it—at your age, you dream of freedom and adventure...

tell me PATRICK26 what's the name of the department and do you have MSN but I dunno if it's secure

hi :) which department are you from? I’m from the 60 and happy new year to you 😉

re 😊 it's better to get a ready-made platform or trailer😕 (no window or door)😇 also at what age do you need a HGV licence? and also what's the difference between a coach, a bus, and a semi-trailer😕 'cause I prefer semis but my brother tells me about the pros and cons of coaches and buses good night I'm exhausted😊😕 see ya😉
