Isolation job! I replaced the windscreen seal many years ago but I think it leaks again. The shelf was rotten on the drivers side. We won’t be going anywhere for a while so I’m going to leave everything exposed and see if it’s leaking or condensation. In the meantime I think I’ll make another shelf probably from marine ply and use the materials in this post. The only real concern is resealing with mastic. Hymer used a shed load of it under the shelf and the windscreen seal. I decided to remove it all.

Hi Barry

Oliver Dill has posted on FB an upgrade to the bed struts from 200N to 280N. Here’s the information

Hi Barry

If you visit the Hymer Exsis SG/SK group on facebook, Ellie Ellesjay has posted a video on how she lifts the bed from underneath. So simple. Basically she uses a step, because of her height, pushes from the point where I place the pole and turns to lift the whole bed from the back edge. Can’t believe I haven’t tried this during the past 15 years.

I don’t want to copy a private video to this web site. Well worth watching.

Hi Barry
I’ve tried different browsers on my Mac and IPhone still can’t load multiple images and it restricts the amount of information I can post. I can’t determine whether the problem is your end or mine. It looks like a buffering problem to me.

The spade terminals on the old socket fit the terminals on the usb module so very easy job. 1 Hour

Step 4. £12.99 from ebay. The web site won’t accept link with photo. I’m obviously doing something bad

It’s a double socket 1 amp and 2.1 amp. Should I change the fuze from 10 amp to 5 amp ?

Thanks Fred. I’ll put that in the book

There’s a discussion on bed struts in the book which references a Billiington group

I’m going to refine it by using a hinged pole that locks into position when the bed is lifted.
An old fishing brolly of mine uses that technique

Hi Barry

I manufactured the prototype from bits in the garage.

The pole is an extendable awning roof support.

The rubber thing is a drain plunger. This holds the pole in position and also can slide around if required.

I went underneath the bed and lifted it with my head and hands. It was reasonably easy.

Once the pole was in position the bed was very easy to move and the pole stuck to the bottom of the bed so it didn’t fall when the bed was lifted.

I’m pleased with the first attempt. Now I need your engineering genius to finish it

1 Adjust pole length above head height. 2 Push the plunger onto the bed. 3 lift the bed until the pole rests on a board to protect the floor. 3 walk to step a push the bed forward. QED
