Tam, Jade and Franky's European Adventure

[gus-lopez]

I sometimes wonder if jade is really a cat in disguise lol View attachment 262108 View attachment 262109

Mine does it on occasions. I put it down to him thinking I'm about to go out without him or he's a bit insecure sometimes as he was abandoned.

I can't believe after all the hassle of getting my mum to sign a cheque for me last night I've only lost the bloody thing when out with jade this morning.

So now I've to send another cheque through to mum with my brother to get signed

This is like an episode of keystone cops to get a motorhome taxed

You haven't put it in a "safe place" have you.

Jade is guilty - the little rascal that she is.

 

[Shrimp]

Bet Jades got it, she’ll slope off later & buy sweeties!

 

[Northernraider]

You wouldn't believe the hassle with this damm cheque it's like a comedy strip
I wrote out another one and my brother collected it on the way to visit mum in hospital so she could sign it he was meant to be g it back so I could post it today
He's left it at the blooming hospital so I won't get it now till tomorrow night

So today I've been giving Toby 2 coats of hard wax so that's all the polishing etc done
He now looks like this

I then removed and resealed the high level brake light and fitted 2 new zadi locks to the belly lockers as two were knackered and wouldn't close.

Then I've fitted an led striplight above the bed because only two little spotlights at that end and they were useless so now it's a bit brighter

And finally I took of the tacky coat hooks the last owner had fitted behind the fridge and fitted a handy storage pouch hanger

 

[teddybear]

Looking good . Where did you source the pouch hanger? It looks as if it might fit were I need some storage.

On eBay £4.99 free postage
I've bought two as I'm fitting one on another panel in the van ...handy for books and things

 

[CazPaul]

Looks cracking, which wax did you use Tam?

I will pm you my address and out the goodness of my heart let you practice on Vanessa. She's not had a polish in a year or two LOL

 

[Shrimp]

Well done Tam, looks a treat!

Ach you'd be better getting a professional to do it im just an amateur

 

[intokenny]

Great job, Tam. Toby looks like a new van now. Bet you can't wait to go travelling in him.

Aye I'd like to at least a weekend away soon but gotta wait till dvla sort the taxation class so I can get road tax

 

[Mikey RV]

Looking good, well done.

 

[Figaro]

Tam, can you take a close up photo of those mirror brackets please.
I don't think they are original equipment but useful as mine vibrant quite a lot.
Do they look home made or an accessory from mirror manufacturers
They would make fitting the screens difficult unless they can be detached ?

@Northernraider

I'll take a pic when the rain stops. I've no idea if they are home made or a bought accessory but they look ok and certainly keep mirrors steady.

I'm not one for using silverscreens as I wild camp mostly so I don't like the idea of having to go out and remove screens should I need to move in a hurry.

 

[fifthwheel]

Hows your Mum today Tam, hope she is improving. john.

 

[Manic]

The bracket do look home made and I would be worried what happened if the mirror gets hit, as the mirrors are designed to move, could they damage the body near the windscreen.
Just my thoughts

 

[Northernraider]

Hows your Mum today Tam, hope she is improving. john.

I'm just heading along to visit her in half an hour ...she's up and down unfortunately still having issues with these canulas and her antibiotics.

@Northernraider

Here's a pic of those brackets.
Might be worth considering @Manic points regarding if something hit them.
They do stop vibration bit I'm now a little concerned myself of the damage that could be done if some idiot hits my mirrors

No need for a dna test @Northernraider

 

[intokenny]

lovely pic Tam.

 

[dalspa]

That bracket on the top definitely looks to be home made, likely fitted by a previous owner to stop vibration.

 

[tacr2man]

Don't think the bracket would make much extra damage , it looks pretty frangible .
