Hab service

[POH]

just sent van off for annual service , does anyone totally empty the van as required by dealer?

I used to but now only enough to give them reasonable access.

We always make sure there is water and gas in it as well.

Marquis used to request it. SMC acknowledges that people arrange hab checks on the way to or from somewhere so the vans will have contents. That said I try to empty any cupboard where I know they require access, mostly to protect my stuff

I take the opportunity of emptying it completely for the service/check for 3 reasons:

Helps Dave
Reveals things that have "got lost" over the last year
Saves payload as if I haven't used something over the last year it doesn't go back in!

Oh yes, 4; can give the lockers etc a good hoovering to get rid of all the sand that seems to accumulate!
