Thanks for the offer mate, but the one I've got will be OK for a while.

Got given this pic earlier by the paperboy.

I have a new(ish) canopy for solo trips now,

but for some reason there's 6" of spare material at the bottom of the removable side panels.... :lol:

 

[raveboy]

It least it'll splay any rain off to the sides so it does not track into the inside - THe only moisture on the inside will be crushed apples in fizzy form arty0047:

Canopy looks good Sparky - does it fit to the gutter??

 

[sparkywig]

Hello Andy, the canopy fits to the gutter at a slight downward angle with pole clamps.

Cheers mate - might get something like that if/when my van is back on the road

Today I have been mostly removing the paint from this, as I picked up a heated rear screen at Bristol Volksfest for a not unreasonable tenner,

after a couple of hours annoying the neighbours and a coat of rust preventer,

it's ready for a few coats of primer tomorrow.

Had a small drama earlier though, went for a quick spin round the ring road, started to smell burning so pulled over very quickly. The black card fresh air hose had snapped off the fan housing and fallen down into the crankshaft pulley well in the tinware where friction had started it smouldering.....

:shock:

 

[sparkywig]

Anyone want the deluxe trim?

Perfect day for spraying.

Unfortunately I didn't plan ahead and so have no high build primer or top coat. :lol:

 

[creationblue]

Just

 

[sparkywig]

A coat of high build primer and a rub back with 1200.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,, What`s paint anyhow ???? :lol: :lol:

[gninnam]

[sparkywig]

I've been busy today....

....only managed to get a coat of light grey on the inside 'cos I ran out of paint and I've been multitasking.

I has carpet,

a "proper" swing out cooker hinge,

and notice anything different?
