What did you do to your van today?

Bought a Foldable Caravan Step from Aldi in their centre aisle Specials Section - £9.99. 150Kg load capacity but folds down to 50mm-60mm, so easy to store ehind a seat or similar. The Promo is geared towards the Easter [Tent] Campers, so there's a 10m EHU Lead, but £19.99. Silicone Foldable Buckets £4.99 and drainage trays etc

150kg! Gonna get one for each foot? :D

under a tenner for a folding step sounds a good deal
 
Just finished fitting side and rear view cameras, 4 way monitor and have now relaced the long arm mirrors with short arm ones...... and I can still see down the side of the motorhome without the cameras. Makes you wonder why they fitted long arms in the first place. I've wired up the cameras so when I indicator, the relevant side camera comes up full screen.

Got the MAN through its MOT today then taxed it for a year. Now to get it finished so I can go explore some islands. Just looked and the big van needs an MOT in two weeks it’s never ending. I’d be cheaper staying in 5 star Hotels.

If you DINNAE like the neighbours you can shift the van though Willie
I'm getting mine booked in asap for mot ( miles are right down on it this year )
 
Cut and fitted a rubber section in front of the electric step to stop all the sand and road dirt getting in the mechanism
Mot booked for the 8 th, 20.000 miles in 18 months , be done another 6 thou before we are back in september, thatll be 26000 in two years
 
Yesterday on N/S of van I took off the rear arch cover and front skirt corner, tried to remove step trim but it looks like its fitted under door appature so I got it loose enought to scrape all the different crappy silicone sealers off in place.
Once everything was cleaned I resealed and reattached (photos will follow once finished).
Not refitted rear corners as I'm repairing and painting them, also using front corner as paint match today when I go to get paint.
 
Finished fitting mudflaps on Moho, they should provide extra protection from splash water soaking the new floor, as I reckon that was part of the rot problem at rear of vehicle. Also gave the underneath another coat of the bitumen roof paint in the really exposed areas, so that will be it fully protected underneath now.

Stopped at a petrol station to check my tyre pressures prior to mot ,now a few weeks ago we were down south and b4 we went I pumped tyres up with the pump I have a home.today I went into petrol station and checked them ,they were all out a good bit
Put dosh in set them up and done them to pressures
On way to mot they didn't feel correct so after mot they checked them ,=. Miles out so reset and feels ok again ,morale being be careful of them pumps and check with a digi tool
 
Oiled my side folding door pivots as the bottom one seizes with water on the step, next i will make new rear alloy mud guards as the old ones have been eaten where riveted to a steel frame which also will require a new one made, she is doing well for here age. :)
 
Drained the freshwater tank and the boiler in between checking the Top Down balancing of the Lithium, and nipping into the back garden to hack another conifer and its roots and digging out ivy roots ... Pleasantly knackered now :ROFLMAO:
