What did you do to your van today?

[SquirrellCook]

Had a nice evening meal with Anita sat in Murky. British cow pie in Brasschaat Belgium

 

[marchie]

Bought a folding table from Leclerc for outside eating. The non folding version was 80cm long, too big to store safely, so we bought the folding version of 2 x 60cm halves. Like sitting at a baronial feasting table ... It's ok when the baguette is intact, because we can pass it like a baton; but as we eat chunks off it, the need for longer arms bevomes evident

Don't know about you but I get really pissed off with the window trims when they have shrunk in the sun and they take the short cut across the corners. After sitting and staring at the skylight trim for weeks I decided I needed to do something about it.

Before :



Having watched you tube I decided to mark the screw locations with masking tape and to remove each fitting one at a time and insert the new trim before fixing the fitting back using the original holes.



I worked my way around the whole skylight until back at the start and just overlapped the ends by about an inch and cut so they were under a fitting and screwed down.



Hopefully this will last a good few years before it starts to cut corners again.

Along with the trim I purchased a trim insertion tool as recommended by the suppliers Seals Direct. I couldn't get on with the tool and ended up using a plastic wedge trim tool. Anyhow the skylight looks a whole load better and I can now stop staring at it !

Packed the van with mixers gin some wine and SAN MIGUEL

[marchie]

Filled the water tank up in the heat; and then realised I'd used the wrong tap, so drained 120 litres off and started again. Wally of the Week Award claimed ...

Anita commented on the dirty fly screen in Murky's Fiamma turbo-vent premium. (comments are best taken as orders!) What a horrible thing to clean. An awful amount of screws are required to be removed. Having removed the offending parts it was much dirtier than expected. The touch control is a bit temperamental, so I thought I'd order a new one. I don't think so, it's over half the price of a new one! So if you have problems with yours, just buy a new fan and use it as spares for your old fan. Saves cleaning and you have to strip out most of it anyways.

Checked the new solar trickle charger which has been sitting in the sun all day. Connected via SOBD socket which, I understand, is always live? Not any evidence of power input to battery.....remains the same charge as when booked up? Will leave in for another day before final judgement...how trickle is trickle? 5w panel.For van battery which seems to have a small parasitic drain.

I sold my van today woohooooo.

Cut Elaine's hair, which was quite brave, considering that we're not on EHU, so prayers to the Hairdresser in the Sky that the Trimmers would have enough residual current. Just need to remember to keep the mirrors covered up for the next 3 weeks

Made a template to cut and fit carpet into living area. Lots of angles so not a trivial job. Fitted a second refillable gas cylinder. I asked this forum for tips to route the level sensor cable to the Hymer electrical control panel.

 

[Patrick1]

Finished cutting and installing the carpet.

Finished cutting and installing the carpet.

Looks neat
I've been contemplating removing the carpet from the MH bathroom and fitting vinyl but the awkward bits around the loo is putting me off
