🔧 Another busy day in the workshop with a mix of upgrades and fault-finding! 🚐😎
First up was a newly purchased Swift Kontiki in for the installation of a superb Fiamma F45s wind-out awning supplied by 👍
With the awning fitted, the owners now have a fantastic outdoor living space to relax in, enjoy a brew, or simply escape the sun when they’re away touring. A simple upgrade that makes a huge difference to motorhome life!
Next through the doors was a stunning Three Bridges conversion for with a couple of annoying issues that needed tracking down.
🚿 The hand basin and shower were draining extremely slowly. After some investigation, we discovered the waste water tank had no vent holes, meaning the water was effectively trying to drain against a tank full of trapped air! A couple of carefully positioned vent holes later and the system was draining considerably faster 👍
💧 The fresh water level readings on the Victron control panel were also all over the place. We drained the tank, checked the sender and wiring installation, confirmed everything was connected correctly and then recalibrated the level sensor parameters. After testing, the readings were accurate once again and everything was working exactly as it should 😎
It’s often the small faults that can cause the biggest frustrations when you’re away in your motorhome, but a little investigation and the right knowledge can soon get things sorted.
