Mike, your new floor looks great. Please can you let me know what materials / fixings you used. Thanks Martin

Made a raised floor section in the rear garage of my Adria Compact Supreme to store my wife's 6ft4inch surfboard so it's safe and easily accessible.

Carted all my laptop and router to the MH to use as an office while our(excellent) cleaner works her magic in the apartment. We We pay her £36 for 4 hours - what is UK rate for a really excellent job?

£54 for 2 hours

 

[Dave and Jen]

Monitor for reversing camera was held on the existing mirror with duck tape and in the recent hot spell all but fell off. So took it off today with the mirror and cleaned both items up- I found that Silvasil UPVC cleaner the best for removing the old goo. Then strapped the monitor to the mirror with a couple of cable ties, much neater and no chance of falling off again.

Checked my tyre pressures after having four new ones fitted ten days ago. Off-side front one is losing pressure so back to the tyre fitters tomorrow. I suspect a leak around the rim as I can’t see anything in the tyre and the ultra-sophisticated “spit test” doesn’t show any leak through the valve.

 

[WillH]

Fixed the corrugated drain hose from the kitchen sink with a jubilee clip. It popped off after 16 years.

 

[DJL220]

Finishing off my lithium, solar, B2B, multiplus install. Little bits of tidying to do and connect up the 240v side when my cable arrives.

 

[Bramidan]

I didn’t actually do anything to the motorhome myself!
We took our motorhome into Motorhome Retrofit in Poole to have steps put under the front cab doors to make getting in and out easier.
Really good service, very pleasant people.
Steps look really good and of course used them at their workshop.
I’d like to say we have been using them constantly since picking the vehicle up, however we came onto Weymouth, where it has been p…ing it down since lunchtime. Apart from going to the pub we have been confined in the Moho, don’t you just love July in the UK.

 

[Jev88]

Replaced bathroom mirror light and added a switch that the dear wife might actually reach!
Returned shrinking window rubber to its slot and filled gap with flexible black sealant.
Added new 12v and usb to dashboard.
Stone chip sprayed the new LPG tank (12 months old).
Painted electric step to halt the road spray rust.
Resealed water tank drain tap.
Replaced towball cover.

Morning DLJ220,
Seen this for the first time yesterday really good job noticed it was a Bailey straight away first things first and maybe rude how much did that bundle cost you not including battery, secondly the water fill up point in the corner did you have the optional extra of factory fitted kink in pipe and will you be fitting a splash/leak guard just incase. Also what have you got planned for the old battery storage area
TIA

 

[Rob Turner]

Have fitted a slide out cooker, it’s still work in progress and I’ve got a shelf to fit above it but pleased with the outcome. I’ve not worked with Ali extrusion before but it’s definitely the way forward.

 

[cyberyacht]

Remade the co-ax TV aerial. Still can't get a signal.

 

[Bern8]

The USB socket in the MH has been known to be a bit suspect (known to set on fire etc), so replaced with this:

Just need to block out that LED, don’t want that glowing in the dark

This is the rev monitor, much neater than before
Also cleaned the hob.

[Chuns]

Just stored it as we won’t be using it until September now - what I did was drive back to it because I remembered that I had forgotten to leave the fridge and freezer doors open.

Does that count?

 

[iceclimber]

Struggled with low flow, removed water pump & tested it, all seemed ok, (see clip below) refitted pump but still low flow. Suspected air lock issue so purged cold through to the shower 1st with shower head off & the shower pipe on the floor. Then worked backwards to other taps & all ok now. Now bought spare pump just in case.
Also fitted addition grey waste dump valve as the spindle of factory fitted valve was getting very sloppy due to wear & I suspect will fail, so factory valve now permanently open.

 

[French Charlie]

Ill start this as im quite proud of myself. After having 12v electrical problems and finding no decent leccies to sort it I ripped it out and sorted. New fusebox, rewired d+ to relay operating a vsr for the fridge and added a 12v led to fridge when running on 12v. Ive wired so the 12v runs in hab even if van is running. And this all started after the fusebox started playing up. Bit messy those wires lol.

Not in the same league as L Squirrel Esq cos electrical doo dads scare the living poo out of me, but today HQ1 and I had a practice run at erecting our new drive away awning. After the prescribed amount of bickering success! The plan is to plot up in Portugal on a proper site for the winter months, and have Vincent the Van available for sightseeing, shopping, and other trips without having to reclaim our pitch after even only a couple of hours off site. Well that's the plan anyway.

Today I changed the turbo boost diaphram on the back of my Lucas Delphi DPC injection pump on my talbot 2.5td. Managed to do it without removing the pump, but is not the easiest job to do. Noticable improvement in performance when turbo starts to boost.

Vacuumed it and cleaned the shower room. We have been living for over a month in a dusty boatyard in Greece in 38 degrees while we work on our boat and get it ready for launch. The van is filthy and is going to need a bloody good clean ...todays effort is part of the first stages of a clean up ...

Unblocked the kitchen sink...big job with drop of toilet blue

 

[GrahamMeck]

Replaced the EHU socket as the cover had been damaged, surprisingly straight forward

 

[Bucket]

Replaced the Bathroom window and frame which was damaged when I resealed all the windows and Heki. Despite being annoyed with myself for the basic error that caused the mishap we are very pleased with the new one.
As it's a 16 year old van the frame had to be ordered from dometic.
We are both delighted that after many years of coping with pesky leaks everything is now properly sealed again. PLUS, the exercise had left me very confident about dealing with future ingress.

Took the van to AEG Stourbridge to find out why our Gaslow bottle (fridge) lost everything at 1am on a French aire a few days ago. Luckily just a worn grommet for £2 + 1 hour’s gas check. Phew.

 

[Nanniemate]

Absolutely nothing

 

[Dave and Jen]

Started fitting a microwave in place of a drawer, will post pics later. I forgot to take the iPad!

Hi Martin, thanks very much for your kind comment. Apologies for the delay in replying, I've just posted a thread on the Adria forum with a few more images and information

Installing a False Floor in Garage of 2021 Adria Compact Supreme SC

I posted a few pics of a wee project I did to put a false floor in the garage of my Adria Compact SC in order to store Mrs B's surfboard safely a while back and Mr Mousy (Martin) asked for some more info on how I did it, so I thought I'd add a quick separate thread in case anyone else is...
