The new rock and roll bed is now fixed down, plenty of room for the repositioned water tank below it. Some of the old timber from the kitchen area will be used to conceal the tank.

The tank is held in place by wooden battens, these are much more secure than the two screws that Reimo decided where adequate for the job.

The area of the van that was once the kitchen is now almost finished. Dad has boarded the walls and fitted the new custom made (by him) spare wheel bracket.

Outside we have a growing pile of all of the old items that we removed from the van, the old water heater, electrical charger unit, kitchen sink and hob with all the gas fittings, gas tank, waste water tank and even the shower tray, all junk now.

Looking more closely at the mains hookup battery charger unit we could see that it is a total hazard, probably quite dangerous. It looks quite clean now but when we removed it it was covered in dust a fluff, there are some bare wires in there as well. I am pleased this is gone. We fitted a new RCD twin socket and intend fitting a 12v battery charger under the rock and roll bed to maintain the leisure battery.

More updates very soon…
