Bulkhead out...

Like any new toy, you can't help but start playing with it. One of our first jobs was to give the van a bit of campsite-credibility - it doesn't go down too well when you turn up to a fancy campsite in nothing more than a builder's van.

So off we go, job one: bulkhead out.
Whilst searching for the right van one of the stipulations was that if it was a panel van it must have a removable bulkhead. Compared to the old T3 which was a day of attacking factory welds with an angle-grinder rendering my poor mechanic friend deaf for a week, this was going to be easy, even for me. One spanner required, work your way around the bulkhead, slide it out, simple.


Well, almost. The top of the bulkhead panel is hooked over at the top and requires a bit of force. You know the kind of force: keep pulling until it feels like it should come out, then keep pulling until it feels like you're going to break something. That's the point we got to and then decided to take a quick trip 'round to the local Volkswagen dealership.

Ten minutes later (and no charge) saw the bulkhead sat in the back of the van and all the nuts in a tidy little box. Thanks Volkswagen. I'd rather they break something than me do it and end up in the doghouse!

The bulkhead is now for sale and may end up on eBay, get in touch if it's something you're looking for.
