What did you do to your van today?

[argoose]

Cleaned out the inside after my week in the lakes, now all ready for a 2 week trip up to the west coast of Scotland next weekend. Skye, Mellon Udrigle if it’s open and where ever else takes my fancy.
Intend fitting a circuit breaker I’ve had lying around for 3 weeks between solar panels and Victron controller tomoss.

I got round to fitting breaker this week too. Either do it at night or cover panel(s) before cutting into wire. It could be an enlightening experience

Drove Murky today, the first time since the New Years get together at Hereford.

Cleaned the solar panel and the part of the roof I could reach with the long brush from the ladder. 1001 on the carpet marked by thr garage mechanic and the caravan repair man. Bobby dazzled the front. Put some stuff in and switched the fridge on ready to go away on Tuesday.

Almost replaced the toilet bowl. The new one has been in a box for months, because it's such a swine of a job to replace. The old one had lost its surface smoothness, so was hard to keep clean, and replacements are really cheap.

All done, apart from the last bracket, which is always the hardest. Maybe I'll fit that tomorrow.

After that, it's replacing the igniter in the gas hob. Again, I've had the spare for ages.

The second panel is on. Working well. Powers the new freezer brilliantly.
Big thank you to friends for fitting it for me. You know who you are.
Hasn't fallen off. Yet!

I thought I had sorted this out previously with some vunderbar German mastic sealer stuff on the basis it must be good as its German. Mein Got zer schtickenstuf nict zealt zer leak unt zer vatta schneeked in under zer roofinglighten unt dript onzer zeat!
So I bought some Sikaflex sealant, dug out zer kraut stuff and could see straight away where it was letting in. Everything cleaned up and new sealant squished in and hopefully thats it done for good now.
The problem is on a pvc the ribs on the roof act like mini reservoirs and hold water which does its damndest to get past the sealant.
Fingers crossed this time

Got the van on the road again. Filled with fuel and gas. Now sitting at the Green Frog hoping that my solar panel clean keeps tge batteries fully charged.

Took it to the local garage to get the brakes serviced - now waiting for that phone call to tell me how many parts it will need and how much it will cost!

 

[Obanboy666]

Put in a circuit breaker between my solar panels and the Victron mppt.
Thats it, all jobs done for the time being.

Just replaced my wishbone on the front suspension, (it failed the MOT), long time since I got my hands dirty, but the garage cost were horrendous, so did it myself. 2007 Fiat Ducato

Cleaned the roof of the van...parked under trees doesn't help it stay white! Fitted gutter above the sliding door to stop the rain pouring in when the door opens. £8 for ducting and sikoflex. Hoping it will work!
Cleaned floors and stocked ready for next trip
