Ouch! Was that a stone chip?

Yep stone chip, must of caught it clean on the edge of the screen. Took a nice chunk out of the paintwork too.

Nasty. Hope it's not too expensive a fix.

A new heated windscreen via insurance, and a bit of a paint touch up.
I'm over it now, as the great philosopher Forrest Gump once said '' $#it happens ''.

Got around to fitting these! Just need to level up the Hertz symbol and push them home properly once the storm is over.

Fitted an LED strip light with switch over the side door. It was annoying having to climb across the van in the dark to the master switch for the down lights.

Absolute legends , fitted the H&r coilovers lowered to 60mm

Took the Exploria Bed out of the van. Blimey, it's one solid piece of kit. Getting the legs over the wheel arches is quite the effort.

Gutted under the drivers seat in preparation for the roamer battery.
Was never happy with the electric install as I had to get it in fast for a trip away. Then spent the whole summer using the van.

Bought some very clever Bluetooth thermometers for the camper.

Planning to use four:
- fridge
- main living area
- pop top
- van exterior (need to find a good exterior spot)

They have a good range. I can pick them up inside the house. Records temp every ten mins. You can set alerts for the temperature range you want, and see a graph of temperature over time. Free app.

Oria Temp Sensors (£15 for two) from Ali Express or £18 on Amazon.

u keeping the wooden panel ?

 

[damo1023]

Little idea I am playing about with to grant a bit more space under the seat. It needs a bit of finesse yet but you get the general idea....

@damo1023 damn good idea if that works. So that’s behind the seat rather than in front of passengers legs?

Its the wasted space behind the drivers seat when you have a kitchen unit fitted....
Figured it'd be nice to make a unit that you can pull out of the vehicle in 1 bit. A complete seatbase solution with a few Anderson connectors to power the rear of the vehicle.

Good idea. Prevents a diesel heater though?

Only if you go in the conventional spot nothing wrong with an underslung heater though... plenty of places to introduce the heat ducting the inside the van also. Fairly sure vw do a duct through the drivers step but someone better versed in dubs will know better.

Next purchase ironically is a diesel heater .
