My Coach being prepared for full timing


Here is my beloved Coach Motorhome
She is all fitted out with all mod cons











I want to make a few improvments the first is a decent POWER SHOWER !
I bought everything ages ago the base is a heavy (60 kilos ) shower base and 5mm shower
glass, the problem i have is that the glass is too tall!
So what i have to do is lower the base into the floor, first thing to go was the underfloor heater i removed this fairly easy as it was held in with four nuts and a few Jubilee clips also had to remove a floor mouted electric socket.
When i removed the heater hoses i was soaked! I installed a Chrome flexi pipe to complete
the heating circuit (see pics)






Now what i have to do is take out a section of the floor, cut away a support bar and lower the shower tray in place and put in bracing. Next then is the plumbing and the power motor for the shower and build it all in.
Below is a picture where the base is going.

Winnebago update and a new years resolution


I have decided in the new year to keep this up to date. If i had done this before you would have had tales of going to the USA to see my young son, having my shock absorbers stolen from my baggage at Dullas airport in DC, spliting from my current wife see above and many many more things.
The winnebago has been part stripped out and i am looking for new premises to rent, also looking to buy a coach to convert.

Winnebago Restoration the start !!

Hi guys ive owned my motorhome for about 18 months and have now decided to renovate it from top to bottom.
The first thing i will do is strip it out and do the roof.
I intend to take photos and video all of the renovation i also aim to make this something special and get away from the traditional beige mobile.
The winnebago is a 1979 model on a Dodge chassis, has a 5.7 litre V8 engine, the interior is very tired, the chassis is solid and for the MOT only needs 4 shocks at the back and a bulb so she not bad mecanically.
i want to strip all the interior out and take all the interior roof panels off as i have a leak.
My plan is
Strip out all interior
Redo and seal roof
ALL wiring
Then install custom built interior
