What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Hi there,

Those look like the blackout option from Kiravans as just fitting the same in mine. On the sliding door appears that you have fitted the bottom right curtain press stud on to the plastic housing. Is that correct as I was a little concerned about drilling that in case something behind ? Do you have a closer picture ?
They are indeed, Kiravan’s blackouts. Yeah it’s on the plastic; I went steady when drilling but didn’t hit anything. I just positioned where the stud wanted to go.
I’ll send a close up later.
 
Not so much what I’ve done but more like what I haven’t !

Should have been packing the van this morning for our 1st trip. Instead woke up to a mail from the site saying they have to cancel due to waterlogged pitches. Bummer......

Nice roof rack, are you in the uk? If so, where did you get it??





Fitted a giant roof rack. With a built-in bottle opener. And a ladder so I can climb up and sunbathe ... or something.

(also; ordered some new "mini-swamper" tyres and booked the wheels in to get refinished in satin black ... 'cos I'm too lazy to clean off the brake dust)

Looks like a Front runner expedition rack and ladder to me. They are widely available but I’ve ordered stuff direct from them in Germany and it’s only taken a week
 
Towbar finally fitted. Proud of the job I’ve done but far more effort than I expected.

If any relatively inexperienced folks want to ask questions, let me know. I’ve learned a lot and would do the job in 1/3 the time now.

Mine is a Westfalia towbar with a 7-pin vehicle specific loom, with no vehicle prep.

Now to remove the flippin’ Ghost immobiliser that decided to not play nice with the towbar electrics.

Well done for sticking at it
 
Have you thought about doing the wheel arches? I had the ply covers off today for a drive and realised how noisy they are! It’s on my list.
Yeah, they’re on the list of jobs to do, the knees couldn’t take any more today :)
