After the aborted lowering attempt, time to focus on other things. Dave set about fixing the cab light which has a habit of dropping down and also fitting a new microphone for the Bluetooth handsfree - hopefully people can hear me know.
With the sun beating down outside, I did the final bit of insulating on the side panels. Just the roof to go now.
Removed all the panels from the van ready for carpeting (this is Dave seeing to a stubborn fir tree clip).
Cut new holes in the tailgate boards to relocate the OEM interior lights. These will act as downlighters when the tailgate is open and the top one will be at a nice height as a reading light when we're sleeping in there.
Lots of (often confusing/baffling) chat about first fix electrics for new interior LED lights and where to run cables for an extra 12v socket and a couple of USB sockets so the boys can charge stuff in the back on long journeys. Solution sorted, thanks to Dave's electronic skills with the regulator for the LED's. Think I would have been able to sort it eventually but might have blown a couple up trying.
With the weekend sun fading and the beer supplies almost exhausted, a fond farewell to Dave and I set about carpeting the roof panels. For a while, I was going to go for something a little bolder (orange) but decided to go for a lighter grey to compliment the side panels. Really pleased with the results
Really pleased with the weekend's progress.
