What have you fixed on your motorhome this week?

Fixed the bike wrack it had broken rivet replaced with bolt and whasers and nut
Bill
 
Nothing. Same for the last few months. Getting worried now........


Oh, apart from re-torquing all the body to chassis bolts that had shaken loose driving for hundreds of miles on the roughest roads I have ever been on in France, through Provence Languedoc and the Rhone Alps.

My Hymer door lock... fitted new spring inside.

Took over a year to think about it and then ten minutes to fix it...

(The spring cost 50 centimes from one ferramentas shops in Silves.)

I have a spare... not as strong as the original but works ok.

As it is suitable for a Hymer, I will sell it, realistically priced, at £42.50 + VAT and postage and package...

(Or free if you collect from QMJ.)

Today we had a chap called Gavin fix our shower tray that had cracked last year, which I did a quick fix on. Arrived at 08:30 and has just left without taking a break. He is a speedcoat approved applicator and I'm so pleased with the finish I nearly hugged him. Whist it cost an arm and a leg and a pound of flesh I would recommend it it anyone. Gavin only covers the Norfolk area in case anyone is interested.

Bill, prep wise he was at the prep stage for 3+ hours the MH looked like something out of a murder scene everythings was covered to protect with plastic sheeting and he sanded the tray after filling the crack. The smell was very strong last night, but today hardly anything and hard as nails to the touch, but a nice non slip coating. I warn you it will cost an arm and a leg, but worth it. His web site is:

He only covers Norfolk and you may have to wait a few weeks. I was so pleased I'm having him back to service fridge in July, which has never been done.

I think so as you would never know there was a hole and the finish very pleasing. Life time cover all be it to the original owner.

Fitted three 100w panels to the roof to run 264 ah of batteries and a 1500w inverter.
The bricks on the roof are to hold the trunking in position while the sikaflex goes off. Managed to get done just ahead of the rain.
