First proper 'downtime' weekend in ages.
Had cheap promo tickets to a local airshow so went to Old Buckenham - quaint event.
Family here today in the hot tub and lunch outdoors (and it's summer!) now left in peace... back to the grind tomorrow as I tidy up my workload and refuse to take any more.

This will be the power centre in my tranny conversion.

Kind of the battery manufacturer to provide all these mounting holes in a flange all round the base. Not to be ungrateful, I used them all.

Partition between beds and toilet. I couldn't get the wood I wanted so I've used the wood I had. Laminated with gorilla glue and screws(removed after)

Got my local landscape gardener in to dig out a turning/parking space for the new tranny. This avoids the need to reverse past obstacles down our twisty narrow entrance.

Cost of item + refurb + fuel wasn't so much more for something newer even allowing for some mods to make it fit this model, I did offer a package deal to your neighbour but He chose not to
