What are you doing on your RV today

[Lance]

I've been outside trying to find a leak from the shower recess in the Crafter.
I thought it was coming from under the door, but on further investigation I find it'd due to a spilled water bottle............. DUH............

All dry and sorted now 

What have you done today ?

[nsgnomad]

Admiring it while I do some more work on the pad I have been building to put it on. These small suburban blocks are a bit of a problem of where to store it. I downsized from acreage.

Washed the roof of the van today and will hit it with anti mold tomorrow.

Oh and to brighten your day, the photo is of my Granddaughter who is a model in Milan, Italy, working at present.

(Just wanted to see if I could follow instructions on adding photos-"simple"!)

At first I thought you were going to say look what I found under all the dirt on the roof.  
She is enough to brighten anyone's day.

Not necessarily today, but recently gave the van it’s yearly polish and wax.
Also bought a new door lock to fit and will keep the old as a spare and intend to rotate the van tyres before our next trip.
Already rotated the tug tyres x 5 as per the owner manual...but geez they are heavy....and I wouldn’t have been able to undo the wheel nuts without that brilliant little 12v wheel nut thingy I got as part of the old mag subscription a couple of years ago.

As Toyota supposedly rotate the wheels whenever a service is due on the wife’s car, I assumed that Mitsubishi would do the same....but no...apparently not.
I will give feedback about that as I don’t think that’s right...especially for those that can’t do it themselves for whatever reason 👹

You gotta hate the tyre places that do up the wheel nuts with a rattle gun. 
The other day I had to change a wheel for my daughter on her Fiesta.  With the wheel spanner supplied with the car, no way.  Evenwith the  old fashioned cross brace it took me all my strength to undo them.  It is one of my pet peeves and I insist on manual tightening with torque wrench whenever  anyone else does up my wheel nuts.

[archer63]

Agree nsg....those standard wheel spanners are about as useful as a space saver spare wheel. I have always kept a cross brace in whatever car I’ve owned.
Even with that I had to admit defeat and I was lucky that I had the 12v wheel nut loosener or I would have been stuffed.

I always use the x brace as well but use an extension bar on the standard wheel brace to loosen the nuts tightened by rattle guns

That is a great pic beautiful girl Glanyard, I am sure you are very proud of her. Good post.

[dieseltojo]

Guys I have one of those 12 v rattle guns and they work a treat. I used it in anger on a back road once and of course two others stopped to see if i was ok.

When they saw the ease I had in changing a large wheel they bought one each when we got home.
I even have it down pat that two clicks is fine and ready for the tension wrench.

So, what am I going to do to my van today?

Probably the same as yesterday, I will walk past it and think that I should slap a coat of paint on the chassis and then I decide that I might tackle that job tomorrow.

It's gunna happen one day, if tomorrow ever comes.

Not today but what I've done in the past that has been lost to cyber space due to the move

We both use a tablet to get on the net in the evening while we are traveling and we were always stuck for a place to pt it down during the night,  charge it and while traveling

I got some MDF made holders and fitted them to our wardrobe doors and fitted a cigarette lighter plug below them to plug the tablets in

[Frank and Brenda]

Quite a few of us have that box cupboard tucked in the corner, accessible through the tap door on the benchtop 
Dark enough in there at the best of times but at night especially when you bend over it to get something out and you block all the light coming in,  it's worse than the black hole of Calcutta 
So with the aid of a bit of flat aluminum sheet metal bent at the right angle and a battery operated push light which can be operated through the wire basket 
Voila



I've also fitted one of each of those in the wardrobes



And the little round ones are our night lights

I don't have a picture of it but I've also put a sensor operated battery light in the fridge,  at the top by the freezer door, works really well
On when we open the fridge,  off 15 seconds after the door is closed

I splurged and bought a toaster rack for the gas cooktop when we are freecamping. I got a good deal from BCF. They sent me a $10 voucher to encourage me to buy something. It worked. I had change so I bought a torch as well. (The last of the big spenders) I must have Scottish blood.... but only by marriage. 🤣
