many many years! since I was a kid
Mended a dodgy c-line 240v socket. Air fryer plug neutral pin plastic coating bubbled and got stuck in socket. Turns out the brass clamp in the socket had split so no longer fully clamping and small sparking instead. Robbed the back socket part of a square faced replacement to fit our round euro type socket - air fryer working perfectly again 😀
The round ones are made by Berker and although compatible with C-line CBE type frames, always best to replace with the correct part.

Replaced flexible drain pipes on fresh and waste tanks both brittle and split. Need to explore why rear view camera screen gives a no signal message but can cycle through menu, I’m guessing there’s a bad connection between cam and screen.

The mho has gone not the paint shop to have some damage repaired which occurred when a woman with road rage cut into me then took another go at the rear with a side swipe. She the left at great haste. Luckily there were witnesses and it is being sorted on her insurance. I was surprised how the side panels on a Discovery can be dented. All I had were paint scuffs.

Since 2012 when we were "newbies" - and still getting about before we seize up.
New batteries for the fire alarm & the CO alarm. I am starting to think the fire alarm may need to be sent to the alarm haven in the sky the local recycling tip.
Oiled hinges, external door locks and a dry lube spray around windows etc. Cleaned the grey waste tank etc. Will replace the knocked off chimney vent later this morning. T'other bits can wait until it's a bit warmer. Otherwise, nothing at all really.

Well I haven't actually fixed anything myself but just picked up Hattie (old) Hymer from Adams Morey where she's had the fuel tank filler hose and fuel gauge replaced, and the passenger side electric window made to work. On way home, stopped at Southdowns Moho Service Centre for a couple of leaks on the Hab side, and other minor annoyances to be sorted. Seems they're inundated with work and the earliest they can book me in would be mid June unless we want to wait for the winter period...... As we stay on sites (being an ancient pair, 80 and 91 yrs old) we could manage, although not having a loo could be a problem overnight !!

Get somebody else to do it, especially the jobs like cameras which would be beyond me.

Repaired small Heki rooflight when the insect blind suddenly went all floppy (ooh matron!) and there were strings dangling down.
Thanks to you-tube and a cunningly inserted self tapper all fixed and working fine.

Done a couple of mine now. The threading always seems inordinately complicated for a simple task.

Perpetual newbie
Got our Teltonika router and Poynting antenna installed, figured we'll try with the antenna inside the van to see if we can avoid drilling the roof of our preciousssss.. We also added a Raspberry Pi which we'll use to monitor the Victron gear when we're out of the van - and as a computer hooked up to the telly when we're out and about..
