What have you fixed on your motorhome this week?

Brought this from Argos (Broken Link Removed) and replaced the fixed bed mattresses.

Laid the old mattresses onto the new one and marked it up. Easily cut with a new blade in the Stanley knife.

Even stripped the covers from the old mattress and squeezed them back onto the memory foam, so no more lumps and bumps:)

Errrrrrrr, don't mind me mentioning this but wouldn't it be a better idea to get the bigger dog to drive 'cos the little one can't see over the steering wheel?

Made a start on redoing my sills today.

Started wire brushing a week ago and it went straight through...

As you can see this is well rotted.

I bought a bunch of tools and a new sill... The Spot weld cutter was brilliant. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008ATC664/?tag=mhf04-21

Once the top spot welds were removed I wanted to get better access so ran a slit the full length of the sill
using my angle grinder with a cutting wheel on it. From here I could see that I need to do some work on
the inner sill.

I have a large sheet of 1.2mm steel and was going to cut a patch panel for this, but then realised it was
a couple of inches too short. A quick check with my supplier and £27 later I have a full new inner sill on the way.
You can see the existing spot welds at the top of the inner sill. I just have to drill these out and plug weld
the new one in the same places.

This is going to be the hard bit.. I have to remove the door to get to this. But once out of the way. The
New inner sill and outer sill should go in fairly easy. Although the existing one does go under the side panel
so will have to patch and seam weld here..

Yup! The awning was the least of my problems!
Blew a hose on the way to the tunnel, got it fixed, then blew another! Head gasket gone, melted thermostat so no warning of overheating, and am now 'piston broke' in its truest sense lol!
Should be sorted by next week then try again!

£700 for a new gearbox controller.
But, as it's the only real expense we've had in six years of ownership, I can't complain.:)
 
When we bought the 'van, I didn't immediately notice but, above the front o/s of the windscreen there was a water/rust stain on the headlining from a previous ingress of H2O. (via the above cab front marker lights, since replaced and resealed.)

I resigned myself to not being able to get the ugliness out of it, However;
This afternoon I had a rummage, (cracking word) (y)under SWMBO's sink cupboard. Not a mistake. I paid for it but it is HER sink.:imoutahere:
I found this product purchased from Mercadona in Calpe.

I gave the affected area a good soaking and left it for a while, later dabbing the same with a series of paper towels.
Tah Dah!!!! Rust stains vanished as if by KH-7
