Started to put things back in the van ready for my first trip away on 3rd May. After that shakedown trip there will not be much time at home till mid July.

Drove it down to Ballater for a couple of nights. First time away (apart from camping in our field) since last Autumn. Nothing seems to have broke or fallen off - fingers crossed!

Threw a bit of water at it to see if the muck would come off then flushed and filled the fresh water tank ready for Hereford.

Well today the camper vin is all together and in one piece, de-laminated floor is now laminated,, carpet fitted, beds reinstalled and all the inside (thanks to her ladyship) is all clean and polished, so we're ready to rock n roll, all I need is the bottle to go out and use it, but it looks good

replaced the Solex carb with a Webber 34ICH one. Runs better so far no issues to complain about and all the previous issues gone ( backfiring missing, lumpy, heavy on the juice) none of which new replacement kit helped with. So heres hoping iy works good from now on. Apart from some minor modifications it was easy to fit and install.

Washed all the Sahara dust off, then read the south had more over the last day or so. Hope it doesn’t drift up here again……

2001 Mercedes Hymer B 680, every year I have to remove the bathroom roof light (again) as it’s very dirty within the double type glazing, any way it is fixed by the star washer things (can only be used once) so what I’ve done is drilled a 2mm hole in each arm and refitted the roof light using “R” clips (following the clean) as I feel I’ll have to clean its inside again next year, easier to remove using r clips. Also re-sealed around the roof light frame and re-lubricated the winder mechanism, just about perfect now (for how long though ?)

 

[Wully]

I loaded some bits and pieces into ours yesterday as our Motorhome cupboard in the house was getting too full. It was just replenishment of stuff we'd used on our recent trip (emergency beans; emergency corned beef; coffee etc etc).

I had also bought some proper Velcro as well as we have a slide out cupboard under our fridge which slides out (and in) if I take a right hand corner too quickly or hit a bump. The velcro keeps it in when I attach a strip to it and to the fridge above (the fridge is OK as it has a travel lock thingy).

Next trip is next Monday. Hopefully I shall get a MH wash in before then too.

Renewed the window rubber infill tape on one window, took ages as I didn’t have the correct tool and when you do the top section you’re working upside down.
