What have you done to your motorhome today?

[Smokaijo]

Headed for Campervan Camp out for a brilliant fun filled weekend

 

[L' Hobo]

Driven it halfway across Spain and found the sun.

It's nice to know you found my present but make the most of it as we had it yesterday 21C and getting it back tomorrow for the rest of the week, Sorry!

 

[Dart]

Swapped the duvets from the winter ones to summer ones. I'm sure I've never left it this late before.

 

[Abgs]

Finally cleaned the winter off the Carthago. Leaving for our winter holiday this week ... delayed from Feb, then March, then April ...

 

[Beltie]

Thule slide bike rack fitted. Cracking piece of kit and so easy to install. A shout out to Rose Awnings too for a great price and exceptional delivery service.

I've got the same rack, great piece of kit although surprisingly heavy!
Fantastic service from Rose Awnings as well, top outfit.

[gus-lopez]

2 new front tyres .

 

[JimmE]

Started removing the rear spring assisters/bump stops in preparation for fitting semi air. So far so good, taking it steady so as not to shear off the bolts!

A decision I hope I don’t regret - it needs to be finished tomorrow as we’re hoping to go away for the weekend after work on Friday…

 

[GoldenVision]

Hardwired the dash cam and the Tomtom - with. very neat cabling. Very happy

One of the jobs on my list ....

Today's tasks, sat nav, with dedicated concealed wiring and multi usb fast charging port.

Now just need to wire up the new USB port. I removed the old usb port from the dash but kept all the cables etc intact and pushed it all further down into the void where it now serves to power the dash cam, with all the wires routed and hidden. I've got that many jobs on the go though that I've lost the bloody cables to power the new usb, so I will need to get some tomorrow so I can get the usb port (which is supposed to be a lot faster charging) up and working.
While I'm doing that, I might add a feed to the sat nav so I don't have loads of cables/leads everywhere in view. I easily fall into the trap of inventing a new job before I finish the one I'm working on, though I'm slowly working my way through all the 'i would like' list ....though I'm sure I can think of some more

Next on the list are;
External 240 socket for outside cooking
External solar panel plug in for foldable solar
Fridge fans
Electric step

They are all 'linked', in that the cable runs will all be done at the same time from leisure battery compartment to the fridge cupboard area and the jobs then finished one by one as time allows.

Then, when time allows;
Starlink install - 12v and ditch the 48v feed plus install new router, I will prob add a power cable back to the leisure battery cupboard so I can make an external connection or through the roof connection and have it on a separate circuit rather than connect into an existing circuit. This will be followed by semi air on the rear, already identified the kit to use and watched loads of YouTube videos, several times over to get a 'feel' for the job. Looks to be within my skill set !

I am also investigating a dusk dawn sensor .... totally unnecessary BUT .. we have a vanbitz growler and it has a toggle button to 'dim' the blue flashing LED's at night time so as not to annoy 'the neighbours', I want it to dim automatically so I don't need to remember to do it. Whether that is even possible, I don't know ....

So plenty of mods to keep me busy over the next few months, just thinking about them makes me tired ... But it's all the little tweaks we all make that turns our motorhomes into our motorHOMES ..

[M-J]

Had the upholstery and mattress professionally cleaned to match the spotless exterior

 

[Aspenshaw]

Cleaned all the bugs off the the front of the cab - just under 3 hours work. This was after a one day tour of the Derbyshire Dales. I didn't know there were so many bugs in the Derbyshire Dales who can cling on.

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Day started off bad with a visit to the doctors where he gave me the spinning finger
Got better after that drove the van up to the frozen t North to have warranty and a bit of paintwork then picked up by a Funster and taken out by him and his wife for Curry and Cobra many thanks to Ady and Val WESTY66 for the hospitality, now have to fight on the railways tomorrow to get back home as seems to be loads of delays

We drove it to Penistone (Yorks). I did a 30 mile cycle in wonderful countryside while my wife mooched around the town and loved it.

 

[dazandandrea]

Last few days. Fitted new Radiator for Engine, replaced all coolant, fuel filter, air filter, oil cange and oil filter.
Found that the "quick" couplings on to the radiator are anything but.

 

[Nanniemate]

Made bed put necessities in .bike on ready to go

 

[AlunandFelicie]

Following on from ‘how bloody much’ £82 for a replacement diesel cap(without lock barrel or key) fitted a replacement as mentioned by Grasmere9
Fitted a £22 replacement (postage included )

The cap is locked in place with the key so no wriggle and twist to try too lock it which caused me to snap the plastic lugs in the first place

 

[boro1]

Changed oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filters, checked serpentine belt, coolant levels and greased the chassis.

[Hettie's Crew]

Fitted a new router (RUTX11) in place of the previous, temporary (been in two and a half years) RUT950.

 

[JimmE]

Not so exciting, but renewed insurance with Comfort.

Not such a huge increase (in £) as others have reported, but when calculated as a %, it's still 20%.

I didnt' shop around as much as normal this year, but the couple of alternative quotes I did get didn't come close. NFU apologised before he even gave me a figure...

 

[Dickyb]

Cleared 3 fault codes so I can
Fix It Again Tomorrow
But hopefully not

 

[Sue and Rick]

Checked all fluid levels and a quick run to the weigh bridge. 3220kgs (3500gvw) full of fuel and all the bits and me. So just the wife and her clothes.

There aren't as many now- thank you!
