So the main beam light bar, do you just run it off the main headlight cable or is it more complicated than that.
Mine is wired via a relay to the wiring on the main beam bulb ....you can do it without a relay but its safer to use one
Yes, Jan and Feb are always the most difficult months...except Morocco..haven’t done that yet but will do soon. In some ways I’d prefer to do Jan/Feb on a Caravaniege or on and Austria ski site....there’s a lovely one in Soll where they hook your gas tanks up with their underground gas pipes so you never have to dig your van out of the snow. Of course Winter camping in the snow has its own set of issues but I find it great...especially if you like skiing or even snow shoe walking. And of course not that cheap. Of course for Tam very difficult if you only like wild camping..although did stay for 2 weeks at an aire (car park) near Val d’isere once. Hard work though especially if you don’t have a generator.
Hmm...got a feeling I may end up with no lights at all. When you say wired to...is it just a matter of cutting the cable and stripping back the wire, twiddling the wires together and then wrapping around with electric tape ? I somehow suspect not...are there special connectors or something.
Ha ha ...no that is for cowboys I fitted piggy back spade terminals to the original wiring all done properly ...
Probably explains why Morocco is rammed Jan-March and Greece is empty ????
so onward we must go
just looking at the photos.
OhWhy is it that everything I do or try to do with my van to improve or repair there are hurdles?
So the new sink arrived this morning .....it doesn't fit
Its at least 30mm short on the width and the rear panel is bowed rather than straight and as unlike the original one that has a bit that tucks under the mirror this one doesn't so no idea how you would fix that to the wall
Overall the quality of the finish is also not that greatits certainly more rigid and I think less likely to break than the thin plastic original . ..but it doesn't fit.
When I asked the guy if he did hymer sinks and supplied him with pics of my original one he simply said yes ...he didn't ask for sizes or measurements so I assumed they were a standard size ....After all I have one hymer ive not measured the sinks in others
I'd have assumed as a sink maker he would have asked if he suspected different sizes
So my old sink is now completely unusable as knowing this one was arriving today I'd started stripping it out and found around the drain area was a cracked etc so its knackered.
And I've waited 2 weeks for this one
I've contacted the seller and sent him these photos so I will see what he says now ....but I'm not happy ...View attachment 406096View attachment 406097View attachment 406098View attachment 406099
Ha ha...no you're always welcome to pop round for a coffee ....to be fair I'm no longer stressed the one ive bought is being collected by courier Monday and I'm getting a refund , old one is all out waiting a new one which hopefully grp leisure can now supply....So I suppose popping round for a coffee.....is definitely out!!
I am getting stressed
At least I know who to call on if when it’s my time for certain repairs
check the measurements with them before ordering.
& before you install the new one if where the tap fits flexes slightly do what I did & fibre glass in a metal plate with over size hole for the tap. Makes a world of difference. With the outlet I'd also reinforce that with extra fibre glass before fitting. goes off overnight so doesn't take much longer
Yes once bitten and all that I will be checking the measurements before ordering.check the measurements with them before ordering.
Nah its a different bathroom layout
Yeah I know but I can get a replacement the same as mine no problem.....its getting one that has the front chopped off to save space i would have liked
I'm sure most places that do moulding will be used to customising a pattern
To be honest if it had arrived and was the right size I probably wouldnt have looked so closely at it ...but when I did theres lots of little imperfections....not sanded properly etc and mishaped.
Aye you would think so but grp leisure refuses to do any modified ones he just copies originals and makes them a bit stronger
Tam
Worth an enquiry at least ...Tam
There are fibre glass specialists around
If you have the template
They will do the best job.
I have a contact in Kirkcaldy that might help
Derek justice from grp leisure is saying he would make a mould if a few folk were interested in a modified one
Sorry Tam...last question on this before I lose the bit in the thread...is it one relay thingy per light or do I only need one relay switch thingy ? I assume I’ll need a crimping Tool as well to crimp the wires into the spade ends ?
Would be worth posting on F/B group
