Bought a cheap W1209 temperature controller off ebay to run the fridge fans. Here it is with a nice pair of ****.😜 The fans are 90mm diameter 12v computer fans and fit nicely behind the upper grill. I could have gone for a pair of 120mm ones but they were on back order with a 3 week wait...

Made a couple of brackets for the 12v fans that are going on the back of the fridge vents. Tested them out and they push a decent amount of air and are pretty quiet too. The fridge wiring is a proper mess. Why use 10ft and coil it up and shove it down the back of the fridge when the run is under...

Fitted some new heater sliders to the caravelle after running round with broken ones for years. Shame the fan doesn't work. Would have been nice to have blown air in this weather. I've got a replacement but don't fancy removing the dash and dropping the steering column to get to it while its in...

We've got a working light at the top of the entry steps in the Autosleeper again for the first time since we bought her. Bit too dim to see anything by, but it's a light all the same. May have to change the bulb for an LED one.

The problem is the house has been extended 3 or 4 times over the years so its like a rabbit warren inside. All the windows are either side hinged or top hinged too and each one is only 18" wide which makes it difficult adding a fan or even a vent for a stand alone room AC unit.

It was already creeping above 22c (71.5f) just after 8am when i coming back from walking the dogs this morning. I don't appreciate the heat at all. It can go do one now. Wouldn't be as bad if UK houses had AC. A fan just doesn't cut it when its 25c+ inside. Had a decent walk round the reservoir...

Its been 29c (84f) today. Even the breeze was warm. :( Took the dogs out just after 7am and it was already nearly 18c. Tomorrow its due to be 20c at 7am then up to 24c at 8am. At least theres a bit of shade in the woods next to the reservoir. Pulled the fridge out far enough to disconnect the...

Little bit warm this morning. Some shade in the woods and water for the dogs too though.

Tried the fridge in our autosleeper again yesterday evening when the sun had gone round and the van was in the shade and from the 4c (39f) it was when running on electric it rose to 12c (53.6f) on gas.:( Looks like i might as well take it out and properly clean the burner and everything else on...

Used the bug to go shopping today as it was way too hot to take the dogs with me as they'd melt while sat in the caravelle. 🥵 Cheap new gear knob arrived. Slightly bigger than the old one so feels a bit better to hold. My parcel of parts from the vwheritage wishlist competition arrived today...

I noticed the on/off gas switch is quite tight to turn. The instructions say to turn the switch to the flame logo (90 degree left turn) and press it in to 'open the flame failure device' and to then keep it pressed for 10-15 secs after the flame lights to 'active the flame failure device'. The...

I'm starting to go a little red.

Went to Fishguard for some LPG. Warm but a nice breeze too. Recycling day tomorrow so started chopping up the big cardboard boxes. The ginger numpty wasn't being much help.:rolleyes:

Had a quick look online to see if there was a manual for the fridge anywhere. Its a Dometic RM4213S according to the manufacturers plate. I managed to find a PDF version of it. It states to clean the flue and burner jet remove the lower grill on the side of the van. Ours doesn't have one, only...

Arlo caught a baby bunny this morning, then carried it around the whole walk before swallowing it when i tried to get him in the van to come home. Water level is still dropping in the reservoir. A few bushes and trees still stop you from walking all the way along one bank though.

Just a couple. We had a few in the fridge but they were a bit warm. :( Price for food was as usual extortionate show prices. £7 for a cheeseburger was a bit steep.

Been a reasonably warm weekend. Glad we parked in the shade. Fridge decided to fail to cool on propane. :rolleyes: I think it might be a partially blocked burner or jet. You can see a nice blue flame through the sight glass in the back of the fridge but it just wasn't cooling. Just what we...

Amazon rechargeable fan has been a godsend for Holly.

Sleepy pup.
