Spring refurbishment....



Now the days are drawing out, I feel inspired to spend more time doing those jobs on the camper which I've been putting off over the dark winter months.Last week I got round to fixing one of those niggly jobs everyone hates ,in this case a dodgy speedo. Now I'm rarely likely to break the speed limit on the motorway, but around town it would be nice to know how "slow" I'm going.It turned out to be a little clip that had dropped off the speedo cable at the hub and cost pennies to fix and all of 5 mins of my time to do and yet I've been without a speedo for 3 months.. (slacker that I am..lol)
Next on the list was the lining of the hightop bed area which was starting to disintegrate and shower very itchy dust on us as we slept. Thankfully they are fairly easy to remove and after a visit to my local upholsters (A campervan owner himself)I returned with a role of vinyl and foam padding and glue...guess what I was doing the rest of the day?..
Hopefully this will all be done by Easter, which if the weather is fair, will be a great time to get away with the family.
Mmm what's next on my list?...interior lights... To be Continued....
