Mel B Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Great stuff Maggy, after all the worry etc I'm really pleased it all went okay in the end. Perhaps we ought to start a club for panel van conversion owners ... PVC Maniacs perhaps?

Mel B Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 dshague - 2012-11-02 7:29 PM have seen a baby gate fitted to sliding door opening to keep dogs in when not in use put in bag and fastened on to bike rack That's what I'm looking to do when I get my van back, I've got a 'rigid' type of baby gate and a 'travel' one which folds down and goes in a slim bag (car boot treasures!), so I'll see which is the best one to use.
