What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[TallPaul_S]

Finished the kitchen pod!!!




The cadac 2 burner portable stove sits under the pull out drawer when not in use



Underneath/round the back:


2x 16l jugs for fresh and grey water (easily accessible via the sliding door), factory parking heater redirection vents and ducts, sink plumbing, and the gas hose to a Campingaz small cannister at the front, I pull the hose up and use the quick connector on the cadac. The Anderson connector you can see is for some extra USB ports and lights I'll be adding in the back of the van later on.

Had a bit of insurance work done after an altercation or two. The bodyshop fitted the California badge so it read California not alifornia once the bike rack had been fitted.

I put in £80.01’s worth of VPower. The only thing I fill my Sportline with

Good old Autoglym super resin polish after i had washed it with their usual body wash. Looks good! I need to treat the canvas as soon as the weather is kinder, just had hail and sleet in the sunny West Midlands!

Top tip: the brickwork watershield from Screwfix or Toolstation is the same makeup as the stuff from a camping shop! Oh, except it is way, way cheaper! So, if you’re reroofing your bellows or tent, go save yourself a fortune!!!

Started on the sound deadening and insulation on our new van Kombi to Day-Van project started. Exciting times but this job is fiddlier than I’d anticipated.

After reading so so many posts and articles and watching just as many YouTube videos, I decided for our use, not to go overboard and used Dodo Dead-ezy range.

Finally found good place for this toy

I had Wayne from PDR2U come fix some little dents that have been irritating me.


Before






After - He did a great job, can't even see where the dents were.





Best of all he drives a very neat little T6 Transporter he fitted out himself.

I cleaned the flexible Solar panel on my pop top by hand with t-cut. It's now putting out 12V again instead of less than 1V

It must have been really dirty! I do mine twice a year during a normal car wash, the rain keeps ours happy! When I was getting less than 1 volt it turned out my panel was broke!

I was worried mine was broken too. It didn't actually look that dirty, but it's the first time I had cleaned it properly in the two years since we have had the van. I'll do it quarterly from now on.

I'm wondering by applying pressure to the panel you may have re-established a connection somewhere. Even a dirty dirty panel will still get a voltage of more than 1v. Keep your eye on it! There shouldn't be a need for T-Cut. We have a bird loving neighbour who extensively feeds our feathered friends who show their gratitude by bombing our vehicles, most upsetting, I use an occasional wet wipe to remove the 'product'!

Good point, I hadn't thought that it could be a broken connection. I'll monitor it just in case.

My Thule Black bike rack finally turned up today (1.5 month wait ) . Fitted successfully in 15 minutes. Excellent finish on the rack.
