Will fill water tomoss as temp low tonight which would dump the water from the Truma.

I removed the wiper motor and cleaned the sip rings then it still did not return to park so I added a separate earthing strap to it and it works fine now there must be a resistance on the original earth, as it is an 'A' class it is mounted on A fibreglass front panel and not steel as the cab versions. It is not good that a vehicle the age it is and has trouble like that. I am going to add another main earth strap to the main chassis from the engine just in case of future trouble.

Took two hand sanitisers out of the glove box. We use them when visiting public bogs en route but as it doesn't look like we will be out and about again for a while and as hand sanitisers are like hen's teeth...
Fed up now

Looked at the van and thought you could do with a good wash and clean, then looked inside and found a can of beer so drank that instead washing the van, maybe tomorrow I might find another can of beer,it's terrible when beer keeps interupting your good intentions

Moved it off the drive yesterday so I could jet wash part of the front of the house. That’s probably as far as it’s going to go for a while here in France with our restrictions on travel. Might polish the alloy wheels today if I can’t find anything else to do...

11.5 weeks to go: I think I've peaked too early!
