How have you 'improved' your camper
How have you 'improved' your camper
Some ideas for making camper life that bit easier
First; 2-part worktop extension
Pull out support concealed beneath worktop when not in use,
Extension slips over the support in this way,
Next: Geriatric pets access to bed
Present seating slips back into place as usual & holds step firmly (no other fixing needed)
Then; Cot side keeps you in bed if parked on slope
Hidden Reversing camera inside step-light

After 10 days away in camper I had a list of things both of us would try and improve user-wise.
So when we got back yesterday after emptying out the detritus of trip I set about;
Moving second leisure battery into an enlarged battery box alongside first battery,
shortening the false floor to match the shortened table for just two of us,
reclaiming the below fridge cupboard for food storage,
lift the Microwave onto a shelf in cupboard below sink and create further food storage,

join the lower two drawers together to form on 'deep' drawer for pots & pans

No modifications yet but I have been looking today to move the leisure battery and add a second one.
Re: How have you 'improved' your camper
I wanted those heavy batteries up front together and found with a little move around I can sit them side by side.
Picked up some short made up cables from Halfords this afternoon and linked it all up OK, copied Grant's worktop extension with folding bracket as it looks better than mine, anyway replaced the carpet and cleaned up
so its almost good to go again now

Weight distribution is the main reason for moving it plus it will generate valuable cupboard space.
Re: How have you 'improved' your camper
Today I bonded an awning rail to the roof at the rear to fix the awning too.
Re: How have you 'improved' your camper
I removed those courtesy curtains as we'd never once used them, but it left some screw holes in ceiling, so I mirrored the LED backlighting behind table with a softer light on ceiling,
a thin strip of similar ash finish ply, route'd a shallow groove to drop the LED into and sealed it all to ceiling,
switch added to a spare blanking plate alongside the lighting & pump switches
(I had another matching rocker switch from somewhere)...

Re: How have you 'improved' your camper
After being inspired by Que's Tonneau cover removal modification, I've copied his idea
This means that I can now remove the cover entirely so the my camper can push right up the inside rear of the tub.
My budding engineering son set to with a specification & I just left him to it (makes a refreshing change !!!)
He cut the side rails, then he milled two pieces of aluminium to the inside dims of the rail.
Drilled & tapped 2 M4 holes in each piece which now connect the 2 pieces of rail back together & are locked off with Stainless Steel bolts & wing nuts.
So here's the end result
