      I’ve replaced the replacement wiper mechanism because one of the spigots seized. Glad to see that the bar I put across the grill has done its job as the rear screw fixings have not budge. £54 for scrap mechanism

          Hi Barry

          Maybe that was one of the original ideas for the bedding flap.

          I’ve ordered the struts.

            Hi Barry

            When the flap is down, put a pillow on each side under the edge of the mattress then close it to hold the mattress higher.
            Carol lifted the bed with ease.

              Thanks Barry

              Here’s a little tip to make lifting the bed easier.
              Move the duvet onto the front mattress
              Underneath the bed, lower the bedding flap
              Separate the 2 mattresses by pushing up the front edge of the rear mattress
              Close the flap
              Lift the bed

                Hi Fred

                Wow. We are members of the club so got a discount but it wasn’t that expensive.

                Good luck

                  Hi Paul

                  The circuit diagram doesn’t show an obvious fuze so I pulled out the Kreis 2 10A fuze next to the tv fuze that’s the one to go for. I guess Kreis 1 must be the overhead lights.

                      Safeguard with breakdown cover. We used to be with Camping and Caravanning Club and RAC but the RAC breakdown cover is very limited in time and number of recoveries

                        Thanks Barry. It’s better than it was. When you do a job like this you see the imperfections.

                        Thank you Tony for your innovative idea. I feel confident it won’t rot like the old one and I think I have sealed the area off better than it was.

                            Hi Tony and Pam & Bill

                            I was going to glue the shelf in place today but came across 3 semi-circular cut-outs each one in the top of the dashboard underneath the ABS and the cab end of the shelf behind the 3 airways. They appear to be there to allow air from the back of the airways to enter the cab end of the windscreen from under the shelf. I was going fill the gap between the ABS and the dashboard with mastic to give maximum airflow to the slots in the front of shelf but it looks as if I should leave a gap around these cut-outs to allow airflow to cab end of the windscreen. They look like an afterthought or mod.

                            Any thoughts appreciated?

                              Sorry guys I’ve just read the post again Tony used the Wickes stuff to glue the fabric in place. I managed that with the glue I got with the trim. Cheaper to use Wickes stuff.

                               

                              Thanks again.

                                Thanks Tony

                                I damaged the original trim so bought some trim from same supplier as Pam and Bill. I haven’t glued the shelf in place yet. Is the spray from Wickes flexible? Why didn’t you use the X8? I thought the Elastofill that Pam and Bill used would hold it down. Pam and Bill can you confirm this? I will fill the gaps around the periphery avoiding the air channels.

                                I’m undecided about the leaking screen. It has rained this week and nothing has shown up even though the sound proofing sponge under the driver’s side is wet.

                                Thank you both for your help.

                                  Thanks for your help. I’ve cut the EPDM. Doing the trim tomorrow. It’s painfully slow maybe it’s nerves.
                                  I haven’t got the order of sticking down yet
                                  Tony did you glue the Correx in place before glueing the EPDM to it.
                                  I’m thinking maybe:
                                  1 fill all gaps round ABS.
                                  2 glue Correx in place.
                                  3 fit trim to EPDM
                                  4 glue EPDM to Correx

                                  Is that the order you used?
