What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[J88arv]

Hi , which model headunit is yours ?

I have the 8180 and I can’t display the DAB information like yours , looks as it should be . Mine puts all the info on the right hand side and a useless space on the left for-station logo . Which it can’t display unless it’s transmitted!

8019 mate

Just made today a solution for hanging either lights or bunting off the wind out awning. (Prob someone will tell me there is something already out there lol) ,

Should never have clicked on this thread....

.... What have I done to my van today?? Stared out the window at it lovingly.

Instead, I am now eye-ing up some hooks for hanging up bunting outside my van. Can you make them in black?? And looking at a seat thing to store stuff in.


There really needs to be a facepalm smilie on here.

What material did you use to print them?

3D printed some 6mm studs to slide up the rail, with a hook on the end.
will trial them out to see how they work.

Is this the sort of thing you were after?

Xmas light hanger for gutters. I think yours looks better though

That’s brilliant but shouldn’t the masks be saved for NHS vehicles?

Fitted the wiring to the power soft latching kit for the sliding door. Now I can shut the door first time every time! But I can’t stop testing it out so opening and closing the door repeatedly
Thanks to @Pauly for a great kit

i just printed them for now in PLA but can print them in PETG or ABS.
they seem strong right now, with enough flex on the hook

similar idea, but with a tighter loop to hold the cable and also they would never go into the awning rail.

These are brilliant. I have no idea what the PLA, PETG or ABS means but are you looking at selling them??

PLA , PETG , ABS have different melting points , and strength.
They seem strong enough for the test I am doing now. As I previously said the postage will be more than the cost of the clips. So if enough interest I will bring some along to one of the club outings.
FYI , the ones I printed are for my dometic PW1000 wind out awning , and that has a 6mm rail.
i can Trial a 4mm one too for other awnings.
I could also make, trial a clip for a rail on the roof to follow the van profile..
but for now, just was trying my setup
