roger Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 hi guys, Name is Roger and I've recently taken delivery of 2007 Alphard 3.0 ltr MZ. Still waiting for paperwork to come back from HMRC so at the moment it's just sitting on the drive. Anyway, will be converting it to a rear camper for weekends on the Gower for my wife and myself so wanted to know if any members could recommend a drive away awning ? Also, with regard to the speedo conversion, do any of you chaps have recommendations for new dials for the car so it displays in MPH as opposed to KPH ? Cheers Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterS Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Welcome Roger. As for mph there are plain dials that get placed over the kph dial or you can find Ben Hau (Ben alphard) on the forum he has conversion stuff and will be able to point you in the direction for awning.

roger Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 thanks for the reply's guys with regard to replacement dials and also a replacement header unit, just how big a job are they ? i'm absolutely useless at anything mechanical and will have to use the services of local garages to carry out the work and am always wary of being ripped off 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterS Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 dails is easy its just pop a couple of screws but the head unit can be hard i'd find a auto elec company to do a insured job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bub Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I like the look of the Vango Kela 4 low. Thinking of getting one for my Alphard camper. The 5 is just out, more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
