A Few Upgrades and Goodies to "Ethel" (1 Viewer)

[Tibbo]

While waiting 5 months for the V5 and I needed to keep myself busy, I did a few upgrades and had some goodies added to my motorhome (aka Ethel).

Major goodies added are:
Adjustable Air Ride suspension on the rear, 100w Solar Panel and the Scooter Rack.

Upgrades:
All new cushions with memory foam on the top for seating/bed. The original seating was uncomfortable to sleep on. I took out the travelling seats and the heavy steel framework (good weight saving) as I am a solo traveler and not bothered about resale value (atm). I made new and upholstered the trim panels and pelmets.
Mastered the late wifes sewing machine and made new thermal curtains and installed roller blinds and pelmets to 3 windows. Added full length thermal curtains to separate the cab from the living area.

All bulbs and lighting was changed to LED.

I have some modifications to do with regard to the cupboards and shelving, hopefully to make better use of the storage areas. I have to add a microwave shelf and install one additional 240v power supply for it.

What sort of weight are you likely to be putting on your scooter rack ?

@Geordies
The rack is rated at 150 kgs, my scooter a Suzuki Address 110 weighs in at 97 kgs wet. I took off the built in/pull out cycle rack that was a factory fitting. It weighed approx 30 kgs. Adding the rack was also one the reasons for the air suspension.
