What did you do to your van today?

[Vanterrier]

Fitted a wee voltmeter to display hab battery info complete with USB point

 

[wildebus]

Decided to swap out the Soundbar I fitted to the Avtex TV with a pukka Avtex one.
Had a look on Facebook Marketplace out of interest and found someone selling one and just 15 miles away! (Where I live, the chance of finding a specific niche item within 50 miles is very rare, let along 15 miles). And even better, the owner travels to a local town just 5 miles away every day for their business so collected this morning and installed in the van this evening.

After:


Nice to have the Soundbar properly integrated into the TV in terms of controlling the volume with the main remote and definately a better quality sound than my previous soundbar so while more expensive, even second-hand, it was worth it.
It also gave me the opportunity to configure the Firestick remote to control the basic TV control (on/off and volume) which will be handy.

I like the clean way the Soundbar mounts with a bracket that is designed to bolt onto where the stand would have gone, so ideal for a wall-mounted TV installation.

M/Home passed its MOT today, with no problems or advisories. So just need to get Brunhilde washed and packed, ready for 3rd December departure for the 4th December Portsmouth-Santander crossing.

It's rapid but can be set to max speed 25 mph.
Not really bothered if it is or not.

Personally, I'd be concerned about keeping my driving licence.

It's not just that your bike isn't legal, it's visibly, blatantly illegal.

I'm sure if there's any trouble the OP can just say they are delivering fast food and the Police will soon loose interest.

Lots on the net where police forces all over england are stopping bikes and testing, licence gone bike crushed, N Ireland no problem as police just ask you to get of and push it, round the corner out of sight and back on again.

Powers that be obviously haven't figured out a way to tax us on it yet, when they do it will be ok.
