RV Spare Wheel Carrier Repair

When we bought the RV, the spare wheel carrier was U-clamped to the rear bumper bar with two clamp fittings, something that looked like they came from a vehicle road spring, the fixings were bent, rusty and the whole thing was loose. We stripped the carrier off the RV and threw away the rusty fittings,Continue reading “RV Spare Wheel Carrier Repair”

RV Showering & Fresh Water Issue

When we returned back from our recent campsite trip, we noticed that the fresh water had stopped flowing from the sink taps and from the shower head, despite the fresh water pump operating, but making a bit of a strange noise. My first thoughts were that the fresh water pump might have finally given up,Continue reading “RV Showering & Fresh Water Issue”

No Longer Struggle With Drive Belts You Need

This week, I noticed that the two power steering belts on the American RV were not in great condition, and in fact one of the belts had flipped itself over on the pulleys. The alternator drive belt also had a tooth missing from it. Searching on the Rock Auto website in America where I buyContinue reading “No Longer Struggle With Drive Belts You Need”

CUPBOARD Doors Painted & SHOWER Floor Laid Using Lino

At last we have been able to paint the cupboard doors and the paint has cured this time. This time we bought a household paint from our local B&Q store, which was mixed in the store to the colour we had been using, which was Grampian Grey, a classic car colour from the 1960’s andContinue reading “CUPBOARD Doors Painted & SHOWER Floor Laid Using Lino”

🛠 Making Motorhome Cupboard Doors | 🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄

In our latest video we build the kitchen, bedroom and living room overhead cupboard doors, which are then installed. The cupboard doors are made from MDF wood. This is then sealed with a PVA sealant, preventing moisture from getting to the MDF until we paint it. The doors are hung using flush cranked hinges.
