Interior tweaks

With one week to go before our annual road-trip to the Volksworld Show and a day out in London, it was time to make some little upgrades that had be mulling around in my head for a while...

One was to get the leisure battery changed for a fresh one. I'd known for a while that the old one had been struggling to get back up to full capacity so a quick trip to Go Outdoors and a fresh 100aH Numax battery was bought and replaced.

Whilst the battery was out I decided to change the old 12v DC socket that sat next to the control panel for a 5v USB socket. Reason being that we only ever seem to use that socket for charging phones so instead of an adapter why not swap the socket internals - dead easy to do with the interchangeable CBE system.

Whilst on the subject of electrics you may recall we had the van in at The Campershak recently for repairs and a few tweaks - one of these adjustments was an opening hatch in the base of the clothes cupboard to give better access to the fuse box and distribution box for the CBE system. Here it is:

As usual, great attention to detail and finish by the guys at The Campershak matching the wood grain across the doors perfectly. You can just see the fusebox in the lower pic - no more 'potholing' through the rear hatch (complete with headtorch!) just to swap a fuse - now it's a breeze!

And that's it for now - we're ready for the 2014 show season. Can't wait to get to Volksworld next weekend with two nights at the Chertsey C&CC site to wind-down afterwards... see you there!
