James Cook Forum

Interested to follow this. I’ve been considering the same so that I can plug in my primus tupike etc when cooking outside (those camping canisters get expensive!). I always cook in front of the sliding door, so I was thinking a connector straight out the side from the gas cupboard, but not sure how ...

Sounds great! It really is such a good design, clearly designed by people who actually know campervans. As much as I love camping, I can’t complain about getting back from a hike and getting some water boiling for a spot of tea and ramen, all with endless headroom (I’m 6’2”).

Thankyou for the replies. This only occurs when the van is moving. The issue also first arose after the windshield was replaced, it seemed to be the only variable that changed. Prior to the replacement, we drove home for 3 hours in torrential rain no problems. The seal between the cab and top looks ...

Greeting from the UK. Sorry for not speaking German. Does anyone have experience with water leaking into the cab above central dashboard? It seems to happen most when inclined forward slightly.
