Awning in Action!!

Rosie and I like to get away in the van as much as we can, but one of our favourite stops of the year is the End Of The Road Festival, this is an AWESOME folk and acoustic music festival set in the heart of Dorset at the Larmer Tree Gardens.

The festival starts on the Friday night but you can arrive on the Thursday afternoon (which is what we do!!) and the festival runs through to Sunday night and you can stay until Monday afternoon (which is also what we do!! - you have to get the best out of your money!!)

This year we had the awning to use which I have to say was awesome!

These are my favourite pics of Scarlet!!

Awning and Silver Screens in action

Hope you liked the pics.

Rear Windows

After using the van for camping and surfing, I really wanted to have some more light in the back of the van, but they were not 1st on the list to do, that was until I saw that Kira Vans had discounted their dark smoke rear windows!!

I bought the windows and the fitting kit confident that I could fit the windows myself!

Before

Drilling the guide holes in each corner

Using a dust sheet to protect the rest of the door from sparks/spurs

Cardboard template of inner skin

1st hole cut :s

No going back now!!

Metal primer added, this is what the window bond sticks to

One window on. Repeat above steps to other door

Finished!!!

As you can see it was a pretty full on job (in my opinion) I used a jigsaw with a metal bit to do the main cutting job, metal bit drill bits to drill the holes and a sanding bit (which fits into my drill) to finish all of the edges. 

Cheers
