What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

What runners did you use for this and how are they coping? I’m looking at doing something similar
In essence it is just a steel c channel, Running on heavy duty Bearings


These are the Bearings i used

It is heavy duty made, we have put 180 kg on the end withoit problems.. i would guess the platform could take 400 kg evenly distributed, even when extender for the full 180 cm
 
I took delivery of my new (to me) van Lemmy. The joys of lockdown mark 3 mean I didn't actually get to see her until she was delivered. I knew she had been a work van but turns out she was used to carry dogs judging by the smell in the back. I can only assume the previous owner gave the p*ss soaked carpet tiles glued to the ply in the back a good soaking and a scrub before part exchanging and the dealer just didn't do anything to the back at all. I bought her last Wednesday so the wet tiles had been fermenting for over a week and had gone moldy before being delivered today. So yeah what I did to my van today was scrape the stinking soggy carpet tiles out, sweeping out the remaining detritus before giving a good mopping and airing. I've ordered a load of bicarbonate of soda to hopefully neutrolise any remaining stink. No issue long term as the van is booked in to be lined insulated etc but not till May.

The dealer is miles away and I will whinge at them on Monday but at the end of the day I had been waiting for a base for a day van conversion for ages so i'm not that annoyed.
Anyway, happy Friday.
