Experimenting with electrics usually ends badly for this van lifer

Thank you 🙏

Don’t reverse into any curbs or you will have to use your spare set of flaps 🚐☕️☕️👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌈🙏🏼💙❤️💙❤️

Nice flaps mate. Missing the barn. Be back soon!

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Can't wait!

Hi Mel, Struck me, it is such a great concept working on your Van together with other van owners, sharing your knowledge with other, making friends, hat off.

[@kevinthebespectacledpilgrim]

Mel you may know his already, but a quick efficient way of cleaning around mucky cruddy components, including electrical, is using spray foam tyre cleaner. It froths up and dies back to lift off dirt and cleans to a shiny finish with a quick buff up if needed. I do my whole engine and it keeps it sparkling like new

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

thanks 👍🤓👍

[@loosewheels1000]

As you point out, the mudflaps are close to the ground, well why don't you attach a chain to the bottom rear so as to lift them up a little, because if you reverse and hit a kerb , they may contact the tyre and rip off. Merry Christmas Mel.

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

I was thinking about that too 👍

[@daviddavies3810]

Fatal mistake Mel, if they are closer to the ground than a kerb height they will nip on kerb and rip off, been there done that, love the vid

[@alanmay1945]

At 16:16, what a great idea, so effective and simple, yet had'nt occured to me, to make battens from strips of ply! In a word 'bendable', which treewood won't do. An ever present problem is that vans are curved everywhere, despite appearing square and straight. So making battens that can bend is a genius idea. Well done that man! Learn so much from watching your channel, thankyou Mel!

Great vid Mel, and so nice to see Beth and Jake's progress too. He's right about the track saw, my fave too. Thought for a minute you were going to say mastic sealant isn't just for Christmas for minute. Keep up the good work mate.

[@Dirt-Diggler]

HGV ( over 3.5T) MOT is a class 7 unless its a motorhome then it's a class 4 MOT the same as a car or vans under 3.5T, it's still an MOT test, MOT isn't actually the test, it just stands for MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT 👍

[@Fastdan14]

A hgv has an annual test. A class 7 mot is for vehicles up to 3.5t

[@Dirt-Diggler]

@Fastdan14 yep sorry I was talking motorhomes not normal HGVs, apologies for that 👍
