PGs camper van

[Pete Grey]

Over the winter I have just been starting the camper once a week, checking the tyres and keeping a dehumidifier running to prevent damp.

I’ve finally got round to fitting proper coat hooks in the shower compartment instead of the small plastic original ones, it will make an effective wet locker for foul weather gear.

The vehicle battery has been on a charger/maintainer, and the leisure battery on a solar panel, both seem good, but I need to check when they were purchased, they must be 3 or 4 years old, so they will be replaced sooner rather than later as battery life is finite.

Now with a possible date for holidays announced we will give it a good clean and polish, and then start the usual checks, oil, water, brake fluid, wiper blades etc.

The vehicle has been standing with a full fuel tank for fifteen months, so I think i’ll add some fuel system cleaner, this may prevent any possible difficulty.
