What did you do to your van today?

[Exwindsurfer]

I have no intention of welding it it will be stuck on so no fire and no where to rust.

Sorry, when you said....

Removed the plastic trim on side of van to see how the small panel is fix as it has tin worm decide to renew all of the panel rather than repair a bit of it.Will be taking it down my mate garage to remove the panel and get any welding done before refitting it not looking forward to it but it has to be done m

I thought you were doing some welding ? My mistake, apologies...

Excuse my ignorance, but I haven’t seen internal bike racks before. Does that bike rack slide outside the garage for easy access to the bikes,

Sorry, I must have missed your post. Yes the rack slides out the full length of the bike for easy access and if you have large garage doors both sides , it will go the other way as well. Quite chunky but very well made. It also moves forwards and backwards so that you adjust it depending on what else you want to load. A bit fiddle to fit as the floor rail measurements have to be spot on for it to work, there’s no leeway.

I should add that it is able to easily take the weight of two electric bikes.

Got my van back from the garage today. Serviced and the anoying light has hopefully been fixed. On my next trip out we will see if the light comes on again.

Got the van weighed 3120! First time I've weighed it since the conversion, so well pleased.

I got a new cab aircon condenser fitted after a hole appeared in the old one. Looks like it may have been caused by a stone, it is in a very vulnerable position. Can’t complain as it was 8 years old. Just need some hot weather now to justify the expense ?

Finally fitted my fridge fans ready for the summer. Had it running for a few hours and it cooled the freezer by another 2 degrees when it was 26 outside.

Did you make it up yourself or did you buy it complete as I would like to do the same?

It was a bought kit made by CBE. My advice would be to avoid the Vento kits, I bought 2 and they both failed with the same fault within a couple of weeks.
The CBE kit seems much better made and is pretty quiet when running. It’s simple to wire up, you just need a 12v permanent supply and earth.
Here’s a pic of the control panel.

What summer ?

 

[HurricaneSmith]

I like your solution a lot. Honest question (remembering earlier discussions on the subject) do your fans suck air in at the bottom or blow air out at the top?

 

[Obanboy666]

Cut and fitted carpet to garage floor, got son to fit new silver screen covers to make sure they were ok, fitted like a glove as usual.

Our French summer. ......

They blow air out at the top.

Got a full set of hard wearing easy clean carpets made 5 separate small carpets with all the branding round the edges £140 including them supplying the rubber backed carpet I thought that was a bargain used original carpet ass template. A great wee company that I can highly recommend. http://cj-carpetbinding.co.uk/

Just about to start changing the intercooler on 2012 Boxer, lost power Thursday in France on way home, limp mode warning lights etc, looked under motorhome yesterday to see a bent intercooler with a big hole in it. Must have hit an animal as no visible bright metal to indicate a hard collision.
