This allows you to lock your tailgate (or barn doors, I think) whilst having it open just a crack. Going to prove invaluable at this weekends hot weather festival.
Interested in Which channel stopper plug thing you went for. Trying to find one myself?
This one but I haven’t tried it in the rail yet. Looks a bit small but got to get kids to bed before I try it

Can’t do it any harm. I always used to pull my straps down super tight. Put these on and an easy pull reduced the gap by 5mm. If nothing else it makes the whole tie down Jon much easier and quicker.
It's Amtico vinyl tiles. Spares left over from my sister's house renovation. I think it was Farmhouse Oak. We used one box of 40 tiles @ 3ft x 4.5in each.

Well today I rewired virtually everything and installed the new fuse box. The final step was to fit my new pre made 16mm positive cable from the isolator switch to the fuse box.
But……..it’s too short. What a whopper.
Anyway, everything works and I believe Halfords sell some made up live cables.
No fuse box pic as it’s not pretty yet.

Been carpet lining it and sound deadening
Interior out for some wiring changes Including switching over the 12v sockets so all switch on with ignition.
Added an additional 6 way fuse box for switched live options fed by a relay triggered by piggyback feed from fuse box so if it goes for warranty work then unplugging one cable and one fuse will mean it is all disconnect…….

Can confirm it fits raised rail under roof bars. But only just
This is just what I am after!! Did you buy it in kit form? How easy was it to install??
Did you fit the original bolts back in or get the replacement ones? I've been considering removing my roof bars as I'm never going to use them for anything and yours does look loads better with them removed.
Yes the box contains everything you need.
It’s the 7410 Camera from Maypole - MP7410 Wireless Digital Reversing Camera - Maypole
Available from various stores.
It suggested connecting the camera power feed to your caravan reversing lights, but my reversing lights don’t work, as my van only has a 7 pin tow bar socket.
So I have connected them to the side lights, even easier than that, I connected them to the number plate light. Just popped the light out, drilled a hole above the camera, poked the camera lead through the hole and down where the number plate light was. Connected them up with piggy back spade connectors. I fastened the camera to the caravan with strong 3M double sided tape
So to turn the camera on, I just turn on the van lights.
Once the camera is powered up, plug the monitor into a cigarette lighter socket in the van cab and the image appears on the screen. Simples.

I thought it might be. I used the same and although I love the quality hard wearing finish, there are a couple of gaps that have appeared due to the change in temperature that a van typically gets. Lets hope you have better luckIt's Amtico vinyl tiles. Spares left over from my sister's house renovation. I think it was Farmhouse Oak. We used one box of 40 tiles @ 3ft x 4.5in each.

Not me but @CRS Performance sorted my van today. Down 70mm on H&R Coilovers and H&R anti roll bars. Like driving a different van now, well happy with the service received.
Thank you. They’re Navis Twin-5 20” if any wants to know what they are.
