What Have You Bought Today?

No dummy questions here. Original step sits flush to van floor. I have 9mm of floor board and 3.5mm of lino. So this hopefully sits on top of that... although I have just had a thought that the floor ridges are possibly raised above this level and thats an additional 9mm perhaps... uh oh...

How did it work out height wise with your floor?
Are you happy with it?

Height wise it was just right. The step itself isn't as stiff plastic as the old one and was a lot harder to install due to flex but its cleaner so that's nice. The step has a bit of give when you step on it so not sure if it need a little bit of packing underneath perhaps. Also has a blank for a step light but I won't be taking it off in a hurry to mess about with that20250409_155434.jpg20250409_155341.jpg

A Radio to connect with my Hifi. FM, Dab, Internet radio Stations. Listening to Jazz on ABC Melbourne Australia. Not used to it, only just plugged it in and started it off. It came on recommendation because the tech it employs apparently avoids all the political problems. Many radios of this type depending on tech can not receive some stations. Some can not get UK BBC and some US stations evidently something to do with royalties. Any way I shall see, certainly have BBC and stations from Ireland. I will try some US stations tomorrow if I have time. Have not used the FM frequency as yet, I tuned in some but external areal came down. I will buy a new long range yagi or two perhaps a rotator. It not bad for the price, cheap really. Compared to the used Valve FM only Radio that I was going to buy but lost out on. That was a different order of class but this as a bit of fun and enjoyment.

Now I'm home I've ordered a new 205/75 r16 Lassa AT boot for my spare wheel. That makes the outside diameter damn near identical (0.3% difference) to the 235/55 r18s on the van so it'll make a stylish space saver spare.

A new Wolffrace Outlander plus tyre to match the others is North of 400 sheets so that can wait a bit.

I’m currently testing the T36 car fridge, but it doesn’t seem to match the technical specifications. It’s supposed to reach -20°C.

I’m not familiar with that fridge but I know some manufacturers state the efficiency of their product as a temperature reduction from the ambient temperature. My vans Dometic is quoted as capable of reducing the temperature by 25 degrees c so if the ambient temperature is 15 degrees could get down to -10 ,ambient 25 degrees then zero, etc. This detail is often lost among the “small print “.
 
I just bought a T36 (Alpicool). Will send it back - way too noisy and I can't fit wine bottles upright in there (ok, my fault for not checking but the pages Shows that you can fit 15 bottles).
Need to find another fridge that fits under the forty winks...

Had plans to lower it, so it looks like this
