A touch more progress over the last couple of days. As the top coating of the roof was finished I was able to fit the last miasol panel. Extra space was left between these two for the shower fan and solar panel junction boxes. I had some other solar panels to fill the last remaining space. The...

I was once assured that the leak will stop eventually!

What I have found with professional/competent people is, once they have finished a large project or even sometimes a small one for the first time. All they can think about is how poorly they did it and how much better it would be next time. Seeing it as an outsider for the first time you would...

But you have questions and ask.

There are a few versions of "Buffalo Board" the name being a trade name. The genuine stuff is coated both sides and bonded with the same stuff. What they do recommend and I've never seen done is seal the cut edges. The boot floor in Betty is the same stuff and over 20 years old with no sign...

I have a piece of the buffalo board I use a a kneeling board in the garden, been outside for a few years now. No sign of rotting or delaminating.

Has it escaped? ;)

Well then Dave, do you have any plans to personalise the exterior?

More goodies tuned up today from Wildbus. (Common Camper) Dave's new name ;) Thanks Dave

Just use the mains chargers that came with the devices, we always have mains for the fridge.

USB sockets, never really thought of having them. Not got any 12 volt ones either. Very good lighting in Murky, so I’m not motorhoming in the dark ages. ;)

Maybe they have seen your pictures and think you can afford it ;)

If you stare into the darkness, you’ll see the prototype jacking leg. Still needs ears for the ram and I think some gussets as I’ve had to space it further away from the chassis than I’d like. What a horrible position to drill holes in, but all done on one side so less work in the future...

I think it was £45'000 for a 616 chassis bulkhead when I looked at doing a new build.

Doubled the value of your van now then. ;)

Yes good crimpers are not cheap.

Yes you need to ruin a few before you get the knack. ps. Give the terminals a good pull to make sure they are crimped properly.

Took the day of today to finish sanding the paint off Betty’s roof. My thirty year old orbital sander fell apart! So rather than fix it I dug out a fifty year old one. I had to swap backing pads as rats had eaten the foam. Oh what a dream to use, I should have used it sooner. As I mentioned...
