      Hi Paul. Sorry for being cheeky here as it’s on a separate topic, but do you know if the guys who make the Stormin Norman Cones have gone out of business?
      I can’t find their website on Google anymore and all the links to their website I’ve found just produce an error message.
      Cheers.

      Thanks for the FAST reply and the other alternative options, much appreciated, and I’ll check them out👍
      Loving the van vids by the way - very interesting to see how a van conversion is actually done. Can’t wait to see how you deck it out inside, especially with the storage and space saving elements you use.
      Thanks again Paul👍

    My Hiace came with two sliding doors with windows in them that you can open. And it is 4WD. Can't get them anymore here. They stopped selling them around 2012, I believe. The only thing they didn't come with, as far as I know, was a high roof. Other than that, it has everything I need. At one point in time I went camping in it with three dogs in cages. They are not making vans like that now. They should...Your van is looking good with the new windows. A wise move to have them professionally fitted. You don't want them to fall out :-)

    Wish I'd got someone to do mine first time round... I learnt the hard way when my side window fell and smashed into a million pieces just after I'd stuck it in place🤣 I held it in position for about 5 mis then went to the back of the van to get some tape and ply wood to prop.under it it, then SMASHHHHH!!!
    had to drive back to the place and buy another one and got them to do the back one for me aswell while I was there 🤣
