Air con

Post by callum » Thu Aug 11, 2016 4:46 pm

Our van is making it's maiden camping voyage next week, so i've been trying to get it all really. Unfortunately it's not us using it, but hey ho!

So along with new tyres going on, some welding, new cushions and a thorough clean all yet to bw done imight add, yesterday i got the air con regassed.

WOW.

What a difference! He said it was all in good condition juat needed a refill, which was good. Probably the best £45 i have spent on a vehicle!
It is icy cold in the van now which should please my brother and sister in law!

Now juat to get on with those other jobs...with 7 daya to do it in...

Well, proof reading that post may have been an idea! Silly fat thumbs.

I got the tyres replaced yesterday, so now on 215/65/15's all round. It had 195/70/15's previously, so it may give a bit more stablility at the rear now, but maybe not!

Mother in law is too busy to complete the cushions, so unfortunately they will be using just the cut foam when it gets used this weekend.
I tested the hookup setup and checked that it is powering through the zig ok, which it is.

So on Thursday i will do an oil change, fit another usb socket in the kitchen unit and give it a thorough clean. Oh, and clear it out, it's full of my tools from the build!

Should be a good Bongo Adventure. :D
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

Brave letting somebody else create the snagging list for you! :lol: unless of course the workmanship is sheer perfection :wink: =D>

Ah, it's ok, they're family!
I'm quietly confident that it'll be ok. The gas works and the elctrics work. Not sure about the bed yet though!
