Newbie From France (1 Viewer)

[Tasng4]

Bonjour a tous!
Me and t'missus live in the Auverne Rhone-Alpes region of France in the departement Drome (26), we've had our MH since April but not had the opportunity to go anywhere yet. The MH is a 1984 Ford Transit MK2 4 berth, quite old but I like old cars so why not an old MH. It has only done 111k kms.

Not sure what else to say except that my forum pseudonym is my old logon id from work......well I bet no one else used this combination of letters.

I joined to ask one specific question but I look forward to a long and happy relationship with everyone here.

Well that didn't take long. I've just been posting my question in Motorhome chat forum, I hope this is the best place but a precis is below:
I want to fit a roof box, there is a ladder at the back so I can get to the roof. Once up there it's obvious where one can walk about as the roof is thicker, as if a piece of 15mm plywood has been cut & made to fit around the roof vents etc. I assume this was at manufacture. I also have a roof box which I'd like to fit up there but I'm unsure of the best/safest way to fit it to the roof or even if this is a good idea to do it ones self.

My thoughts would be to use quite a lot of screws and Tiger seal to screw/glue it to the roof. The MH does have a chrome rail around the perimiter of the roof but I assume this isn't designed to have long roof bars fitted to it.

Hi and welcome to FUN, I would have a go at fitting it to the roof bars before using screws.

Hi and Welcome......

Hi TAS, we have a top box fitted on our 91 Hymer, 500 litre one I believe, there are 4 large plastic bolts that go through the roof into captive nut/washer type fittings on the ceiling, and there are 2 safety stamps either side, no glue involved.

It's been there for 25 years so I hope the bolts don't give out as the straps are probably more knackered than me.

Great looking van, I do love a bit of retro.
Hymie.

Hi and a big from another part-time French resident.
Your van looks very well cared for by previous owners.
I am sure you know that under 3 mts puts you at classe2 should you use the autoroute,can't tell your height but top box may put you over,just a point.Enjoy your van and the forum.

Snap, well almost, ours was a little older, but decided to get somthing a bit newer, more comfortable and quieter. If you are interested I have scanned copies of manuals covering the mk1 and mk2, they are not brilliant quality but better than nothing Also mk1mk2transit.freeforums.net/ is a good source of info.
