This Week’s vlog. What is under the bed? Overhead bed woodwork rebuild.
Firstly, we started the blog with our new Youtube channel trailer / intro. We would be interested to hear your thoughts on the new intro.

Wheel Arch Repaired & Painted
When we bought the RV the plastic rear wheel arch panels were in a very poor state. The colour of the bare plastic was a cream colour that closely matched the rest of the main colour of the RV.

See our latestContinue reading “Fitting Solar, Two Roof Vents and a Fibreglass Repair”
Red Coloured LED Lamps
RED coloured LED lamps for the rear of the RV. We have 8 of them to use as we need them. Are we going to use all 8 across the rear of the vehicle? We are not sure, but this would certainly light up the rear of the vehicle and show some presence when outContinue reading “Red Coloured LED Lamps”
