What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Not very exciting - added seat belt padding for the passenger seat as apparently it rubs! But the immediate to do list - hopefully before this weekend if the bits arrive, add some mounts to secure the table hopefully behind the drivers seat, and fit a quick release on the gas hose near the regulator so i can switch between the hob and the cadac without having to change the regulator every time.

Hey, its those little things that make a BIG difference to your daily comfort and use of your vehicle that are actually big deal. :thumbsup:
 
Fitted a Planar Heater over the last few days and tested it this morning. All working fine.
I was a little nervous about dropping the tank but I took my time and it was easy enough. I managed to do everything on the drive by just lifting the van a few inches. Now ready for the colder weather !!

Bike carrier with improvised brackets as Forty Winks out of stock. A fiver for four 10mm hollow front axles (usually 9mm but they fit fine), some m10x1 nuts and 84p brackets from wickes. When I get the proper axle clamps I’m going to carpet the plywood and fit the other two bikes in.

Do you have a link? Treating them as luggage sounds a good idea. My set up has severely restricted luggage capacity and space for the portaloo!

hi buddy hold that thought...im on a mission to get them replicated and possibly make it a future venture...even the local bike shop went..."they are cool"..."how many can you get us"... something im looking into properly next couple of months :) they are brill... and..when they are filthy..you can still put in if need be and just brush the padded bag out later..no crap in the vehicle...

on it..
 
Re fitted the side bars After having them powdercoated, then proceeded to scratch one within a couple of hours of fitting them, I couldn’t fecking believe it :cry::cry:
