What did you do to your van today?

We buy and leave these in vans when sold.

they were £6.99 on the first.

We bought 2 x Vango Folding Tables that pack down to 60 x 30 x 5cm and have leg extensions that increase the height to 55cm. They each weigh less than 1.3kg and pack away into the broom/ski cupboard. The 2nd table is high enough to serve as a cooking surface for the induction hob, using the twin socket in the ski cupboard; very handy for cooking fish and similar food where there is a risk of stinking the Van out, and/or splashing fat or similar onto the kitchen surrounds. This table also provides a surface for the plastic storage boxes that hold clothes and tools to sit on when the search for the 'I know I have one somewhere ... ' begins. Hours of fun ... :rolleyes:

That one is big enough for two dinner plates and lives in the wardrobe, I do have the gargantuan Swift one but it lives in the garage at home.
 
My Autotrail came with the standard freestanding table which is nice and solid but also way too big. That now lives folded up in the house and I have a "Kampa Kitchen" stowed away in the locker instead to use outside.
But inside I have one of the best modications I have made to the Motorhome - and countless others have done the same and thought the same -by fitting a Lagun table system. Much better (IMO) than a table you have to bring out of a cupboard to use. Always available when needed but at the same time can be moved out the way when not needed.
 
The main thing for me was the weight & the ability to fit into storage cupboard which is 540mm deep, so just bought something suitable that I could modify to fit in original holder.
 
Fitted Cob LED strip light where old fluorescent one was and cut/fitted new perspex as old piece was buckled from heat from kettle I suspected, the new perspex is 2mm thicker than original.
Also refitted and connected bog.
Tommorow I will fill tank with water and pressure test all plumbing, if that goes well refit oven and add some of that water system cleaning stuff to tank/flush through and let it do its job for few days.

Filled up with diesel and burned the refill (and about another 10 litres) driving from Moncofa Aire to Velez Rubio Aire, some 248 miles. Plenty of hold ups around the expanding Valencia Ring Road and on/offs the A7 around the N.E. of Murcia where new junctions are being added, but few of them have been joined to the main carriageway. Made traffic quite congested at around 14:30 on Friday afternoon - wouldn't want to do the ducking and diving in the evening Rush Hour 🤫 :ROFLMAO:

I failed to teach the 2 Spanish car drivers the English expression ' anhhrn feck off' as they tried to hold me out of the lane switch, and I was concentrating too hard to pick up on the Spanish equivalent reply ... Who needs Google Translate when one has a middle finger? ...
