Latest Prep - Jan 09
Here is a little of what we have done recently with a few pictures to boot:
January 24/25
Preparation:
This weekend we set aside time to tackle a number of little niggling problems that need sorting out.
One of the main problems that we are having currently is due to the campervan conversion that Carol was subjected to back in 1986. It is absolutely fantastic that she has been converted already (it saves us a job) however, over the years the previous owner has carried out a number on amendments to the original conversion which cause us confusion. There is a leisure battery from which the fuel pump, water pump, interior and exterior lights are all designed to run off. When we bought Carol the leisure battery needed replacing and there were wires all over the place and we still don't really know what half of them are for or where they need to be connected to. Alex's Dad, Ian quickly got the interior lights working and the water pump. This weekend we needed to work on the rest of the connections that run from the leisure battery.
For example,
One task was to figure out what some non descript switches of the dashboard do. We gathered they were linked to the leisure battery as they are part of the conversion but we had no idea what they did. Quite accidentally we found out...
With just a tatty old diagram of the leisure battery's fuse box to go on we decided to go for the most obvious solutions to problems first - fuses! We established that any fuel in the second/long range fuel tank could be transferred to the main fuel tank via a pump that we could see under the vehicle but we couldn't work it. Once we had replaced the relevant fuse we experimented with some of the non descript switches on the dashboard and voila the fuel pump sprung into action! We had more trouble with the exterior light. We took it apart, we removed half the ceiling looking for where the mystery wires from the exterior light went and we connected various things to the fuse box in a last ditch attempt to get it working. We were on the verge of giving up when we decided to see if maybe the other non descript switch on the dashboard was anything to do with the exterior light. Low and behold it was and despite hours wasted with dismantled ceilings and fuse boxes it appears that maybe the exterior light was working the whole time!
This weekend Ian also managed to fit the air intake, and with a bit of soldering and rewiring we also now have a 3 adapter plug to fit into the cigarette lighter. Progress!
The Roof Rack:
Although not a priority, I mean who cares too much whether the roof rack looks good or not? we still felt it needed work. The rack had been propped up behind a tree in Alex's garden for the last few months and who knows when it was last used. It was damp and dirty and really needed a good clean and a lick of paint before we could think about using it.
Before and After..... The roof rack and jerry cans before and after we got to work.
Firstly we sanded them down, cleaned and scrubbed the roof rack and jerry cans. Then we painted them initially white but eventually they will all be cream like Carol herself.
