We went to the seaside today at St Andrews (yep next to the famous golf course)
We were very lucky with the weather and although it threatened we didn’t get wet!
Our #Dogs got bored of the beach so we explored the dunes and watched the BlowKarts https://www.blownaway.co.uk/landyachting as we had lunch

Made it up to #Scotland for the first time in many years.
We gave a lift to friends who are staying with family who insisted we stayed on their property 🥰

@Basmitharts @geekygearhead I’ve had numerous #CamperVan and #Motorhome since I was 20. Still feel like a young-one on proper campsites (but we avoid them as much as possible)
I hate planning ahead & hotels but love #RoadTrip & exploring new places 😁

Anyone here has experience #exploring #japan in a #campervan ? #travel #camping

I’m loving having all the #WeirdAutos #WeirdCarMastodon crew back again… so here is my contribution for today at the Tesco supermarket car park.
These are my kink.
#JDM #CamperVan, a (probably slightly rusty) Mazda Bongo and Toyota Alphard 😁

Some #WeirdCarMastodon action from my #RoadTrip this last week
From the proper campsite in the woods we spotted a VW T2 Transporter Viking Conversion with original interior and roof. Very much like our first #CamperVan
But this had a vinyl (not fabric) roof, fixed kitchen (ours was removable to lift outside) and a Porsche engine.
Then there was a couple of Morgans at the Kings Head Tealby. There were due to be my but I think the thunderstorms put them off coming out to play

Yeah! The #Roadtrek #CamperVan #Motorhome passed his annual MOT with no advisory again! Not bad for a massive hunk of 20 year old American iron.
Tame mechanic (and auto electrician) gave my re-wire of the main battery feeds a once over and the only problem he saw was I need to add some lagging where one wire passes close to the manifold. Easily sorted. So that’s good news too

@mrjalco I’m in the doghouse too, for not selling the Airtrek (mostly because it is not worth anything) to fund the #CamperVan #Solar install 🤣
@ZeKik @vwdasher haha That’s too common to be weird here. The VW T4 Compass Calypso #CamperVan on nice alloys in the mirror should definitely have got a mention though 😉
First night on the #Roadtrek #RoadTrip to #Wales near Craven Arms.
Great night’s sleep ✔️
Lovely walk for the dogs around the meadows and river too ✔️

What A day.
Finally the weather looks ok, and we are both feeling well enough for a #VanLife #Roadtrek #RoadTrip in the #CamperVan to #Wales
So I spend the day getting the van ready then and at 18:30 the washing machine (secondhand but new to us 5 months ago) throws an error message.
Seems just to be a loose clip on the drum to pump rubber but but it was 22:00 before I’d figured everything back together.
Watched some UK Dragrace with D to wind down 😆
Expect many photos of countryside…

Ok I’ve been a bit quiet again because I can only concentrate on one thing at once.
I’ve been re-wiring the main feeds between batteries and chargers etc
I’ve never been so careful with my work 😁

Made it to #Harrogate up the motorway And the #Solar panels stayed where I put them!
Huge relief tbh 😂
#Harrogate #solar #roadtrek #rv #motorhome #CamperVan #vanlive
I more of less finished the install of the solar charger yesterday before today’s snow arrived 👍
Solar is working and harvested 400wh today 😁
Just need to re-do the wiring to batteries and shunt so that can monitor things properly as solar is not on the right side at the moment.
... But that can wait until the weather cheers up 😉
#roadtrek #rv #motorhome #CamperVan #solar #vanlife
Well an impulse buy has turned out ok.
I wanted something to deflect air and branches over the solar panels so ordered this from Germany. It had a hell of a ride and was beaten up a little and lost it’s mounting bolts that I didn’t need. But all was forgiven when I offered it up.
Just needed to cut off its mounting brackets.
Not sure anything could fit there better👍
#roadtrek #rv #motorhome #CamperVan #solar #vanlife
So a long day got the solar panels attached to the racking.
Just sorting the hinge / blot mechanisms so I can tilt the panels to clean under them, access wiring, and perhaps catch more sun too.
Hopefully wiring them up tomorrow will go smoothly too.

Today I’ve finally finished the “rack” element of my solar panel installation on the #Roadtrek #CamperVan #RV
I’m very happy with the results So a couple of weeks prepping was worth it 👍
#roadtrek #CamperVan #rv #vanlife #vanbuild #motorhome #diy
I’ve been a bit quiet in here and not very interactive the past week as I have a project on at the moment.
After 10 years owning the #Roadtrek #RV #Motorhome #CamperVan and avoiding putting #Solar panels on it, I’ve jumped in feet first and bought some with half a plan on how to mount the things to the complex roof profile 🤣
So today a load of aluminium arrived and I built a platform to work from.
Wish me luck 🫣
