We carry a Brompton bike under the fixed seat, so are tight for space. The handle of the coach bolt that anchors the seat prevents solid objects (such as levellers) from lying flat. This wastes valuable space.

Our Morocco has three round LED reading lights in addition to the larger LED lights. Recently one started flickering then after a while stopped working completely. The bulb had failed but it is an odd design with no identification markings and I wasn’t able to find a replacement online.
A family member recently returned from a motorhome holiday in Spain and promptly went down with a bad case of Giardiasis. This isn’t something I had heard about before but it is a parasite which latches onto the inside of the gut and feeds on the lining of the intestines.…
Muji produce a range of interlocking polypropylene drawers that fit well in the wardrobe of a Morello
Please note: This article describes a fairly major modification involving potentially lethal voltages and very high DC currents which could cause a fire risk. I am publishing it so Murvi owners can see what is possible but I would recommend having the work done professionally unless you are confident enough (or…
When using the grill there is the heat shield which you pull forward.
Many of us have found that the underfloor LPG tanks have several advantages: efficient storage and economy being two obvious ones. However, whilst touring in Greece in 2012, we were confronted with a major disadvantage – what do you do if you are running low on gas and there is…
You know the scenario – you stop at a motorway services for a coffee. When you turn off the engine, your fridge bleeps at you and you change over to gas. And then, when you drive off for your next stint, you forget to change the fridge back to engine…
Do you find that the fluorescent tubes in the big Heki are more decorative than useful? MMM and Alan Major have both shown how to replace these tubes with LED tubes, but both methods require you to cut the cables and remove the ballast units. At the Peterborough Show I…
A solution for the badly positioned igniter switch on the three burner hob with the controls diagonally across the bottom right corner
Pete Riley’s problem, and how he solved it. The initial post on the chat group: We have a 16 year old Morello. A fine specimen that we love dearly. However we have never had any success getting the heater to work properly. It gives a pathetic output. Yesterday I removed…
The shower has never drained very quickly in our Morocco and recently it has become so slow it was quicker to use a J-cloth to empty the shower than to wait for the water to drain away. After reading somewhere that there is a one-way valve in the shower drain…
Our Murvi Morocco has a 100W solar panel which we found adequate initially but since buying a compressor cool box (Dometic CDF 26) we found after a couple of days off EHU in Brittany last September the batteries were getting a bit low. So it was time to look at…
The three-way ‘fridge fitted to our Morocco is an essential item, especially when it is hot outside but these absorption refrigerators do not work at their best when the ambient temperature is over about 30C. A compressor refrigerator is better for very high temperatures but it is possible to improve…
I have the iBoost Directional Pro 8 semi permanently installed in my van
The following adaptation may be of interest to anyone in need of a bit more worktop space in the Piccolo
To aid closing I have recently fitted two internal handles to the sliding door of my Murvi Morello which I am sure will adapt to other van conversions and thought others may be interested:
Bob Eley has added a third leisure battery
I thought that our experience when we arrived home from the AGM may be useful ‘On arrival home from the AGM we found 6-8inches of snow had fallen over the weekend. The snow plough had also made a passing place in the lane at the entrance to our drive. Having…
We have tried several incarnations for a waste bin on the Morello, this is the latest, and it would seem to be made for this position on the end of the kitchen units. From IKEA @£7.99, RATIONELL compost bin-link,www.ikea.com/gb/catalog/products/30154802
Bob Eley has has his tyres inflated with nitrogen “I think the enclosed leaflet says the lot about using nitrogen in the tyres, – and the spare tyre of the Murvi in particular since it is such a pig to get at, just to check the pressure. It’s a comfort…
Tea Towel Holder
From a range by Zack in stainless steel with a bit of design to it. Self adhesive, available from Amazon –
Our heating tends to be too noisy for my liking at night and also blows on dogs, one large one who sleeps next to/under bed.. If we are on a hook up we have a little cold watch greenhouse heater which fits nicely where i see others put their waste…
