Hopefully once the wheels start turning again the Craic will resume, it becomes hard to keep talking about nothing.
Little did we all know this time last year what was ahead of us.
Roll on the good times again.

Trust all is well.


Still working on it believe it or not. I had a bad setback last year that made me throw the towel at it for a while. After resealing the roof over 2 years ago, and doing what I thought was a top job, I discovered the result of subsequent leak last summer, which basically destroyed a large section of the nearside inner wall at the back of the camper. The wooden frame was OK, but the thin veneered plywood became delaminated. Well, you know how that goes... so I sealed the leak, stripped down the wall and left it to dry. But to be honest I got fed up with the project and moved onto other things.

I bought some new parts for it in January of this year, which gave me the fizz about the camper again, so I'm tipping away at it now again.

It's all about ups and downs.

Sorry to hear of your setback Kevin, hope you get back on track and get it finished soon and then let the enjoyment begin.
Even new motorhomes have been known to have leaks so nothing new there.
Keep up the good work and hopefully one day I get a chance to have a look at it.

I'm back for a while. Just installed a further system to my van. 380 w solar system to complement the original 240 w system installed by British Petrolium in 1994, still working well in summer. Batteries are recent Halfords additions 4 x 110 volt. 1 set from the old panels are last years. I also installed a chinese heater to augment my alde system. All 4 are on a switch over from the alternator and battery charger to charge as pairs when required. I haven't carried out tests thus far as I am awaiting MOT and tax
