After two weeks of travelling the minor west coast roads of Scotland and Isles I have fit a homemade anti vibration matt under the batteries.
Hopefully no more loose terminals .

Fixed the intermittent lock/unlock problem on the Burstner Hab door , removed the 4 contacts from the door panel to find 2 wires had snapped just outside the Block stripped back a couple of mm reconnected and all good .Wires had broken just where the metal ferrule entered the Block

Internal cleaning, having used Brunhilde to transport redundant stuff to the Recycling Centre when in France. Looks slightly less 'boggin' now, but back to France via Rye RFC Rally next week, so it will look as bad as ever, rather quickly ...

Swapped out the metal feet on the rear steadies for larger plastic pads.

That extra footprint should be quite useful. I can put the old feet back if I wanted

I am reading this as a post about fixing a multimeter and not a charger at this stage?

If so .... You say it is an old Multimeter. Depending how good it was and still is, I would be careful about paying someone to supply and fit a fuse? You could find the cost of doing so is more than a replacement Multimeter would be? (and of course, fuse may have blown for a real reason and a new one will just blow again so no farther forward).
Unless the Meter is a pretty nice one, I'd suggest bining it. (e.g. I would try and fix my oldest Meter even though it is 40 years old as it is a quality Fluke one. I wouldn't think about fixing another much newer old meter I have that cost under a tenner)

Sorry David, I missed this post for some reason, it is the charger that has the blown fuse, (the meter is fine) and as it is for a long defunct drill driver I cannot replace it but it does the job as intended 12 years later and I have two of them.

The fuse blew I think because the charger got wet and blew as I turned it on

I fitted two 110mm fans and a thermostat to the fridge vent. I fitted a thermostat to control the engine radiator fan that someone else fitted (badly).

I fitted a Bestek 400W inverter directly from the cabin battery so my son could use his PS5 with remote whilst travelling or no EHU. It worked great for 1 day before running the Li battery down. It was cloudy in France so the solars couldn't keep up. Next time it gave a red light and the PS5 wouldn't power up. The output voltage of the inverter was only 185 V. The people who write with funny pictures say the PS5 has a capacitative power supply so their inverter wont work even though the PS5 max usage is only 320 W. Who would have guessed? That was 50 bucks and a couple of hours down the drain. Any ideas for a suitable replacement?

I fitted four new hinges to my under-sink cupboard on the camper. The previous ones were 25 yrs old and gone slack. Personally I have taken 74 years to go slack, but the trouble is I can't go to Wickes and get the problem resolved for £7.

Just had 2 New Tyres (Michelin Agilis) on the front , had one of the removed Tyres fitted to a new wheel for a Spare as I hadn't got one.Try these guys out they do Fiat Wheels as well 'Halmerend Wheels and Tyres' can't recommend enough just Google the above.

Today I removed a heavy sheet of 1/2" ply from the back of the upright foam seat back in Hardly. A 6ft 6" long sheet of ply weighs a significant amount and we have to lift it with the foam up and over the front passenger seat to make up the nearside single bed. So that will be manageable when we get old er. We know that just having the foam for a back rest will be OK, as we have had this setup in another more modern camper where the same manufacturer has deleted the sheet of plywood..
Also I fitted a permanent 13A outlet socket, fed from the allegedly 3kW inverter. It works, I boiled a kettle.
Next? I am beginning to run out of jobs to do on it. There's only one thing left, to polish it. . . . . .and then perchance, to go away for a holiday.
