#MegaVan Update : 32
Mega-update for the #MegaVan!
"I'm in sooo much hot water!"
Yes! Finally after months of preparation and heartache, we now have hot running water!
List of stuff that led up to this...
12v & 240v Electrics installed and tested to the Truma combi heater.
Mains Water plumbing AND tank installed, configured for on & off grid sources.
Kitchen Sink taps & waste connected and tested. (only 1 small 😭 leak!)
... And cutting another hole through the wall for the heater exhaust.
Also every pipe joint has been tested and clipped to ensure they don't pop off when we eventually travel.
And we have sumptuous foam for the benches and it now transforms into a king size bed!! 😃😃😃
Next, ceiling & bathroom structure! 🤔

How much can you Bench?
Me? 2!
After building the frames and setting out to ensure they'll fit opposite each other comfortably, I started screwing together and building the bench seats, which will also miraculously turn into a spacious double bed.
Now, whilst I'd built them to cover both heater, water tank and electrics, I didn't originally think a bed would work as well... But guess what, the numbers aligned and I had a moment of inspiration during a dream when I was at a castle gate and they let down a drawbridge but it was too short, so another smaller bridge came out to meet it!
Anyway, that gave me the idea of arms that pivot out from under the seats to form a bed platform!
Now I just had to fit it all together...
Another week another injury, this time left hand index finger got a drilling! And boy, it took forever to stop bleeding. Even after an hour it was soaking through my gloves and sticking on the wood!
Talk about giving your all, blood, sweat and tears! 👉😢

Let there be carnage!
So... Having engaged a company to build a on-off grid solution capable of allowing the Wife to cook, bake and provide delicious meals from scratch, and about £4000 later, we have a whole load of boxes, cables and reams of instructions to consume to ensure we know what goes where, when the time comes.
Luckily I've enlisted someone who is qualified and understands electrics more than I do. Although I did spot a few issues and held an intense conversation, debating the reason for a specific fuse rating with the design engineer!
And I was right!!!
It's exciting stuff and can't wait for commissioning to start and we can really get 12v stuff working like the fridge, water pump, extractor and Truma heater!
Also the 24v cob lighting.
Its all go but still....so much to do!

For those at the bitter end and thinking there is no escape, believe me, I was there in 2008, laden with over £60k in credit cards/loans debts, 3 properties and mortgaged to the hilt! Lost my income, banks closed business and personal accounts but it IS possible to claw back. Forget IVA or the citizens advice bureau, I managed to beat the system and force the DCA (debt collectors) to bugger off and leave me in peace asking for proof and evidence.
later I understood the system but it is captured better in the book "The Title is Unimportant" which can also restore your credit rating (aka Slave Score) - I just waited 6 years and all debts became unenforceable.
Do not dispair, Debt collectors work on fear and fraud to intimate and crush you. Be strong, learn from others and know there is an escape plan out of debt and back into the light. 💜

#MegaVan Update : 28
I lied! Plumbing was NOT next...
I managed to get the kitchen cleared and put more holes in for the sink taps and electric pop-up!
Didn't hit my head and only once slightly injured my fingers holding the chuck and accidently spinning the drill !!! nicking the skin but it'll heal in a few days 🙄
Carted the work surface back in and it looks the real deal!
What do you guys think? You'd never know I've never done anything like this before!!!
Might have found a new skill.

#MegaVan update: 23
We have something resembleing a Kitchen! (aka Galley)
After warning neighbours that I'd be cutting outside and after another quick measure, more like 3 and 30 minutes of anxious pacing.
I finally drilled corner points and joined cuts to make the sinkhole!
(apparently I say 'Sinkhole' in a rude way, if anyone can explain to me how else I can say it, more than welcome to learn... 🤔 Sink'ole,
Sink Whole, Sink-Hellooole !)
The worktop is lighter as I'd cut the excess for the vanity unit off. So easily placed it in its final resting place and as we were having guests round quickly popped the doors on! (plastic wrapped still) but looking good!

We're looking for something like that for our #MegaVan!
Was thinking of the single upright unit that would neatly fit in the shower when not used, but that would mean having to put an extension or power into a wet area. 🤔

#MegaVan update: 22
Well that didn't work out...
I'd loaded the #MegaVan with ample weight to simulate it finished and took it to a weighstation.
My God, she's heavy! 😳
Taking into account there's still a few things to go in her (oo er madam) till she's finished, she hefty, very nearly at safe limits tbh. Hence the decision NOT to fit the taillift... Sad I know, but as Duncan, our commercial fitter said "She'll handle like a bathtub on ice if you do!"
I've always known she's got a big ass and likes to swing it on corners but I don't want anything to exasperated it!
I've caused enough damage already. Let's not mention #FirstGateGate. (more on that another time... )
Any hoo - Came back a little bit deflated but the guys sure know how to look after me & the #MegaVan. They'd serviced it and gave her a thorough examination and fixed a few niggles for good measure so not a completely wasted journey.
So back to the grindstone, focus on under kitchen plumbing and getting units in.

The #MegaVan is coming on well. Not only do we have 1 working secret trolly drawer but the Woowoo loo was delivered today.
It will be a few days until I get the holes and pipes connected. (Black waste tank still to be underslung)
Kitchen on order and vanity unit & bowl arriving Thursday.
Today I lifted the galley floor connecting hot, cold & waste pipes into final positions.
All very exciting.
Renogy still haven't refunded my money on their completely failed order but I have found a good supplier of Victron equipment to build my solution going forward. 🤑

We're all sick!
One downside of living in close proximity to your family, if 1 of you get colds/flu, you all do... Eventually. 🤧😩
Obviously as a male I'm feeling it so much more than the Misses and daughter I can tell you!
#ManFlu is a serious condition.
But, I'm putting on a brave face and made everyone Tea & passed the biscuits about a bit earlier.
Keeping the #MegaVan warm is a priority so the windows have been batterned down and lecy heater on full to drive out the sickness from us all.
Here's Hoping we all feeling better Tomorrow.

"I BUILT A THING!" 😂
So at the cab end of the #MegaVan I've bought loads of wood and built an Adult bunk bed which is surprisingly secure and stable!
The lats are in fact the recycled side braces I originally took off the sides when it was a removals lorry.
I tested it by swinging from it and also climbed up and layed down. So if it can take the weight of a 16 stone man, my daughter won't bring it down.
IKEA furniture doubles up as steps and slotted in with precision, like it was measured for it! 😂🤣😂

During any important conversation "Think before you speak" or more precisely, hesitate, consider, pose the answer and check your expected response.
Say something like "that's an interesting question" as a mid statement to allow time to mull over and respond correctly.

#MegaVan Update: 17
"I'm sure this rain was Noah inspired!"
So this morning I started getting ready to build the main platform area supporting the galley kitchen, bathroom and main walkway through the #megavan
It took a little longer than expected as the Cornish Pixies where up to their tricks again. Not only did they keep moving and hiding stuff but they totally managed to shrink my tape measure at times, even altering my calculations on my phone to give false readings!
So only 3 struts were made and set.
Gotta love those the little imps
😡😡😡
We had to nip out for some more wood & food and it rained, and rained and rained!
We rushed back, expecting the #MegaVan to be leaking like a broken kettle, only to find it dry(ish) but the new gazebo, on the other hand, had collapsed under the weight of the water and buckled, soaking alot of our possessions 😭
A very busy day in all, and now relaxing have a beer.
Oh, and we now have a very confident fox apparently.

#renogy can gfy!
What a bunch of incompetent cretins!
Not only did they cancel my solar/leisure battery order of over £2000, they then send a part order, cancelling it in transit and so I received 1 item, now totally unwanted, so they lock up the entire funds, holding them ransom until all the mis-sent items are returned!?!
I swear I'm conversing with an AI bot cause its too damn polite even after I've dumped a full load of bitter verbage upon them!
If this is the future of customer services, they can stick it up their jaxi!

It's been cold! And I couldn't get the heater working. 230v fused spur checks out, 12v feed to control panel and unit seems fine but won't initiate...
Could be the comms cable, getting another to test.
Celotex Insulation completed, but the rails and aluminum edge transfers heat to the outside and visa-versa so filling all gaps with expanding foam & lining the whole ceiling with silverfoiled bubble wrap!
Whilst I waited for the foam to cure, I fitted a bead to the window frame and placed the sun/fly screen.
Not too shabby!
Let's hope the insulation works it's magic, as it's a clear sky and the temperature is dropping again.

Rural France is great! Cheap Wine, Good food and good wine and Cheese, and don't forget the pâtisseries, wine and the cheese, the bread, wine and cheese.
The scenery is awesome and you get regularly eat cheese and drink wine, what more could you ask for, maybe more bread, wine, cheese and fresh salads vegetables and don't forget the cheese. And meats they're all good too!
Each region is run by a Mayor who listens to its citizens or else they'll lose their jobs but don't forget to try the cheese.
