Spring Clean Fever

With our shakedown run to Bodmin getting closer, now seems like a good time to start working on the list of jobs that are still left to do!

A good vacuum of the interior was first order of the day, making sure nothing was missed.


The Aqua roll was filled with water, and Puriclean powder added to clean the fresh water system and pipes, this was left in for 24 hours to do its stuff.

The power hook up cable was connected, to enable the electrics to be fully tested and the water heater to be run up to temperature, the vacuum doubled as a handy means of testing the wall sockets!

Grease was added to the brake override system with a grease gun

And finally.....
It took a while for the water to flow from all of the taps....
But eventually it appeared!
Good news! Everything seemed to work as it should, however I did find some cracks around the shower tray drain plug that are in need of repair. We hadn't noticed them before as they were covered with a carpet mat!
I'll repair this, and connect and test the gas system over the next couple of weeks and fill you in on how it goes soon....

Until next time ...
