Today.... we finally read through our whole user manual (my day off). We had figured out most of it by playing around with the van and reading up on it online but still good to see if we had missed anything.
Complete newbie to this malarky but we have also finally (been searching for a while) found out our paint code LH7W which is natural grey. This is very exciting as once our converter gets back to us with a formal quote, we can tell him what colour we want our pop top to be.
Other than that, we are just enjoying taking him out for wee trips. It is so exciting but at the same time petrifying. There is just too much stuff that we want. Who knew that a veedub could be such a money pit... I had no inkling at all, even after spending months on this forum. Honest. (well, at least that's what I tell my husband anyways).

Purchased some midge netting from Midge netting for windows, tent flaps and other openings. Keep out the midge, mosquito, fly, and other annoying biting insects. good quality stuff, would recommend if your after some. Then in true Heath Robinson style butchered a piece of ply to fit the side opening window. The hardest part was supergluing the netting to the board! I now have no fingerprints

Looks good! I need to make something similar as I can’t stand creepy crawlies getting in!
Nice little afternoon cleaning after the weekend in the lakes. First time since I fitted the new wheel and so happy I can clean them inside and out without having to remove like the old wheels
sad but literally couldn’t rest if I didn’t do them inside as there used to be so much rusty water from the brakes. Another pet hate I might have to address with new discs/pads.

Got that awning down to a Tee then.. very taught.
Fitted sliding door lower bracket plastic cover, bought from the Forum shop.
It used to look like this:
But now looks like this:
100% better, but the wife doesn’t seem to understand that these little improvements are absolutely necessary!!

Took 4 hours 3 or which I had ridiculous head loss!
I guess it wasn’t a bad effort first go ever
And on that note... any news on the Bamboo Forum stickers?
