What did you do to your van today?

[in h]

I took the motorhome's printer out of the cupboard and tried to print something with it.
Huh! The black ink cartridge is gummed up. HP are sending new ink cartridges. I must remember to print at least one page each month in future to keep it working.
It was OK when we were away a lot, but lockdown has turned into gumup for the print heads.

Removed the fridge so that I could get to the underside of the hob.
Removed all three spade terminals for the flame sensors cleaned them with emery paper, replaced them and tested the burners.
Replaced the fridge and now the burners don't go out when trying tp light them.
Oh the wonders of motorhome design.

Having replaced the hob on mine, I noticed that there is one significant design change over 21 years: there is now a separate earth lead to each of the flame sensors. You had to hold the gas knob down on the old ones for at least eight seconds (sometimes nine). With the new hob, one second is ample.

Emptied mine a couple of weeks ago before replacing the bowl. It had been standing about a quarter full since the middle of March. I thought it might pong a bit, but it wasn't bad at all. Then again, it had a sachet of Tesco's own brand bio washing liquid. That's really good. Less perfumed then the Lidl sort.

We’re currently at my daughters in Norfolk with the van parked at her house. I went in the van yesterday to get something and as I was leaving, heard the fridge alarm. The gas had shut off. We have a Toptron CPU (crash protection unit) and it kept shutting down despite resetting it, checking gas ( we have two almost full tanks and general peering around at everything.
After much farting about trying to figure out what was wrong, it turns out the Victron Smart Solar controller had decided to carry out its Equalisation function ( despite me disabling this option previously) and it carries out this process with the batteries at 16.2v.
The Tipton cpu operates between 10-15v, so this over voltage shuts the system down.
I remembered that the Victron controller updated its software a few weeks ago and it must have reset the options back to default, meaning equalisation, at 16.2v, is carried out every 30 days.
“Smart“ solar, my ar*e!
