A work of Arto (1 Viewer)

[watrincanrose]

Hello from Warrington,
We are looking forward to our second season learning about our Arto “Dave”. This winter we have gotten a little more organised - MOT, hab checks, a touch of gearbox work and welding completed in Northwich in the last couple of months. Not too bad at all for a 2003 vehicle - internal fixtures, fittings and engine are great, as N&B should
Teenage kids and working aged adults will keep our travels to the odd weekend but a summer a trip to Berlin could be in the planning… but before venturing away from campsite facilities we will need to have a new showertray and hose fitted, both have split. “Dave’s” backstory, or so we were told, is that his adventures were from the Shetland Isles to Spain annually - there are certainly receipts from Lerwick and sand in the airframe awning! He’s a lovely vehicle as was certainly well looked after.
Reading funster’s posts this last 18 months has been invaluable - thank you all for your reassuring and knowledgable N&B posts and if anyone knows where to find bathroom bits from 2004, that would be the icing on the cake..
With best wishes, wateringcanrose

Hi and welcome, re your shower take a mo and take a look at a company called Speedcoat for shower repair as they get great reviews tho not cheap. But getting a new one for a vehicle of your era could also be difficult and expensive.
Good luck in your quest and travels

Hi and welcome to FUN.

Speedcoat get lots of good reviews and may be simpler than sourcing a replacement.
The hose should be a simple replacement, just a standard domestic one I think.
Oh and .......

Thank you - have left messages with a couple of Speedcoat folks today - their website shows just what we need

We had our 2004 Arto shower tray repaired by Speedcoat and it’s been perfect for 8 years

Thanks everyone - i have contacted our local Speedcoat fella and Mike was very helpful. As you can see, there is a previous repair so having it sorted will give peace of mind. Bye the way, how do others stop little seeds and bits of leaf coming in through the skylight?!? I am hopeful that the Speedcoat can be booked in for the end of June.

[nicholsong]

Yes, now use the fly scren

Now how do you get the leaves and seeds off the fly screen? We find it easier off the floor, with the other muck that comes off our bodies!

We are also an Arto 69GL(2003) owner.

Hi, quicker reply than 2 yrs this time! The present conundrum is the wooden garage floor held in place with the four bolts, as the only bit which could start to rot - it has - have any Arto owners any tips from a similar situation
