Do I need under trays for my Peugeot Boxer Motorhome?

[DesandDek]

Hi all whilst fitting fog lamps to my Weinsberg Edition Pepper Peugeot Boxer 2.0 Blue 130HP Motorhome I noticed that the LH and Engine Trays were not fitted. The MH is second user so I have not removed. Do I need them? and if we do, where can I get new ones + fittings.

Most motorhomes don't have the big centre tray fitted.

There are some parts listed in the classified ad on this forumBroken Link Removed

Looks normal to me, the same as ours.

under trays are fitted because there so many delicate parts on an engine now not jus a big lump of cast iron like they used to be

I think they are mainly fitted to enable the vehicle to pass the 'Drive-by' noise standards, set out in the relevant statutes.

Under trays for boxers? To catch any drips I suppose.

Mine was the same as yours, but purchased full set on eBay. Very good quality and feel happier having the pipes and wires protected.

Probably removed by the converter or service agent and never replaced. They are agood idea as they protect vulnerable parts from being damaged by debris being thrown up off the road and help keep the engine bay much cleaner,

Just a safety point as I notice in the photo you are using light wheel ramps ... I only now use solid ramps if I'm working under the van. Some years ago I was under my moho up on ramps like yours when I realised that the ramp was slowly collapsing and gave me seconds to get out.

If I need ramps I now use these made from scaffold boards ....

They are only fitted if specified by the convertor (not left off). Typically have one side fitted (as my Rapido). The clip fittings will have to be added to the MH. Makes changing oil easier. However these MH are more susceptable to rusting sump pans.

Thank you all for your support, we have now ordered a set of undercovers from the bay, this decision was taken following spending a few hours under the van brushing filing scraping corrosion off the bottom radiator hose and other items, then applying a good coat of ritehammer, lots of oilwax and elbow grease. We live near to the coast and we will travel on lots of coastal roads, final decision was made on the fact this will probably be our final motorhome so needs to last.
