Post 1 About Us

Hi we are Marc and Sam this is about our travels in our Motorhome
We purchased this van in November 2013 and this first post will be about some of the works we have done to it albeit on going
We purchased this van in particular as it had a fixed rear bedroom and plenty of garage space which our previous van hadn't, we also got fed up of making the bed up daily to use the table etc so this van ticked the boxes in that respect. The van was in storage over the winter months at a place in Wisborough Green and we visited a few times to put stuff from our old van into it and to disconnect the batteries

 

So we fast forward to March 2014



 

There were quite a lot of jobs I needed to do firstly was to put extra sockets in

Before

 



After

I also put another double socket under the dinette chair this we can use for the

kettle / toaster and Laptop etc when the hob / sink is in use

My second and most important job was to find a way of allowing Max our Jack Russell access  to the bedroom as there is a significant drop to the floor from the fixed bed and Max being his mummy's boy has always since a pup slept on the end of our bed guarding or that's what he calls it ?

I had searched the internet for a ramp type thing, but nothing seemed to be the length we required ! Then one evening I had one of my many eureka moments and came up with a plan to utilise the ladder supplied with the van to access the double bed over the cab area,

My first effort was to cut hardboard tie wrapped to the frame, but he was very reluctant to come down as his paws slid on the hardboard, then I acquired some off cut carpet and glued that to it and voilà  Max was up and down no problem
