What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[MrD]

Removed the Black Rhino wheels/tyres and replaced with a fresh set of 19” Wolfrace 71 Munich GTR Raven Gloss Black + Khumo PS91 for more road orientated affairs as Mrs D is the Van Captain nowadays.

Oh and removed the rear bike rack as surplus now.

Installed my first Fridge the Dometic NRX50c

Firstly got some 18mm and carpeted it so I could close the gap and secure the fridge more easily, I then stuck a vent into the side to help circulation.

And a bit of cable management to the battery. Few pics to see what I done.

Full clean, summer wheels and tyres swap over.

Tick off a few little jobs I’d been meaning to do for a while then gave it quick wash ready for another week

Longer term plan is for the LV-S splitter, but in the meantime installed this today

Actually on Friday, but only just got back from weekend away, where they were put to test.

Added USB socket to rear. Might not seem much but makes significiant differnce when heads by tailgate and no provision for charging phones. Also means can use USB light once main spots are turned off.



Fitted storage bags to rears sides. Slot into awning rail with cable sewn into top.

Finally got around to sorting the dreaded ABS/stability control warning lights problem.
Changed the Right Rear wheel hub and replaced the brake disks and pads while I was there.
Not an easy job getting the hub out but managed it on my 2nd attempt.
So far so good as warning lights went off and start/stop error has gone with it.

Removed headlining and door cards / carriers to add some insulation and sound deadening. Made good use of the various threads and guides on here but when putting it all back, didn't quite line up the headliner on the pax side and managed to strip the threads of the grab handle.

Fixed the grab handle with the judicious application of a rivnut. Probably stronger than the original!

Nice splitter that one, from Vanstyle I think. I had it one before swapping to the LV-S and thought it looked smart especially for the price

Doing a u turn to visit new grandchild, road behind clear and traffic other-way long way off. Final turn forward and someone tries to get through in front (could not see them).

Mine is front, theirs is front to back,

Not sure who’s fault it is - either way

I was brought up to believe they were called the Jesus Christ handles

I had the same thing happen but for the life of me have no idea how I missed hitting them!! Frustrating as it was clear I was doing a u turn and came from nowhere.. Honda jazz driver!

What is wrong with people? When I was taught to drive (in Tudor times) I was taught to give way when someone is manoeuvring, not try and squeeze past them half way though a three point turn.

Just watched the dashcam, road clear both ways, about to start final turn edged forward and bang! Looking at road width not sure the car would have got through even if I had not started to move forward. Guess will end up knock for knock - really p’d off as drive carefully and no accidents in 40 years.

At least no one hurt.
