What have you fixed on your motorhome this week? (4 Viewers)

[L' Hobo]

The only spring I could find was £35 with no guarantee it was the right one. Didn’t fancy trying to fabricate one myself, so the complete lock was the only answer.

One used to be able to get a full box of assorted springs from Screwfix (or similar) for less than £35!

 

[MichaelT]

Not a fix but removed the factory fitted table for a smaller one.

 

[Mleabon]

My shower tray was cracked. New removable shower tray for my Hobby Optima was £550.....for a bit of ABS. Bought some ABS for £70 and sikaflexed it to the tray to repair it.

 

[PP Bear]

Not a fix, but I’d forgotten about the nearside tyres being in the direct sun, so off to storage with some cardboard and that’s enuff to keep em from the suns rays

Pulled a dent out of back door- van has a bike rack and previous owner had obviously backed into a wall or something leaving a nasty crease in the bottom corner. Went to a mate who has a boat on a trailer down his drive with a winch on the trailer.
Long story short we pulled the bike rack with the winch and a couple of pulls and the doorway (nearly) good as new.
Silly me- I took my I pad with me to take before and after pics and promptly forgot to take any!!
Very happy though, looks a lot better than it was.
I'll get some pics tomorrow and post them
Cheers, Dave

I was tempted once up on a time. But now I need to do a 10 mile drive regularly along a fairly fast but very rural country road. I wouldn't feel safe with the idiots.
Also winter time, it looks like it would be miserable

Only bought as a toad so won't be going far and selected roads only next step from ebikes.. which are always a security worry

Here we go then-Dent was at bottom corner of RH door, I think we did a good job, probably saved a few quid too.

Airbag light came on and I thought I may have the dreaded airbag module issue ,but checked system out and found the passenger seat yellow plug was apart ,plugged back together and they presto light went out.
I realised I had taken van tool kit box from under seat and when I pushed it back it must have pulled plug apart.

 

[Dave and Jen]

Decided to remove the disintegrating carpets off the van walls and replace with new.
Quite pleased with the result.

ps last pic is a DIY curly wig kit- any offers?

After getting fed up with the back picture window leaking if the motorhome was on a left hand lean...
Purchased new rubbers for all of the windows.
Got the local windscreen guy to remove the back picture window (only half of the sealant was doing anything), reseal and install the new rubbers all around.
Being a 20 year old motorhome, the rubbers had shrunk and got brittle.
Looks so much tidier now that the rubbers are seated properly and not pulled away from the corners. Up to 60mm in some places.

Icing on the cake was that I was charged under half of what the initial quote was.

Sorry no pics, followed a you tube vid, but fixed the fridge on gas, was barely getting cool, it was lighting OK, so off came the panel and I removed the burner and pipe it wouldn't come out the burner so took other end out manifold, parted them in the garage and had bits in it, to so used the airline and gave it a good blowing out along with the burner, refitted it, turned it on and by the time I had finished boxing it all up it was getting cold, it worked ok EHU in fact it will freeze stuff and use to on Gas and does again
