Campzone 2008
Update 19/07/2008 Part II,
I replaced both hinges with new ones, that indeed was the easy part. Leon and I figured that
the hinges were more important then the lock itself. We only use the lock so that the top lid
can’t fly away while driving 80km/h on the road.
Therefore I removed the lock and inspected it. At first I suspected that a key had broken
in the lock, but after further inspection the lock seemed clear. I tried the keys I had once
more and all of a sudden.. THE LOCK WORKED! hehe
So we now have a working lock and a fully working front gastank holder :-). WHIE! 😀
Update 19/07/2008
Started early in the caravan. A few small items were on the list
– Adding a wall outlet near our network connections ( for a 1GBIT Switch )
– Repairing the window in the kitchen
– Repairing the hinges of the gastank holder of the caravan.
– Cleaning and make an inventory whats there in the caravan
Doing the first two items was a breeze, also see the pics I made. The third
is a bit harder so it seems. One hinge is broken, and replacing it should be quite easy,
the problem only is. The lock is shut tight and I can’t get it to open ( or close ).
So basically I need to find a new lock mechanism somewhere..

Got the caravan! Today I moved the caravan from the storage facility to my house. In between I made a pitstop ( literally ) at the tyre shop. They looked at it, probably the seal between the rim and the tyre is not 100% flat anymore thus the tires are slowly leaking. They had a simple solution. These tires also fit innertubes! So all 3 wheels ( 2 on the caravan and the spare ) now have an innertube and are inflated again with N2. Also the wheels of my car are now filled with N2, instead of regular air.
Around 17:00 the caravan was back in front of my house. When I opened the caravan.. I SMELLED CAMPZONE.
And no.. No beer smell, or whatsoever, just campzone :). Caravan looks really nice and dry from the inside
I’ll start modding the caravan tomorrow. Pics will follow

As you might have read. Last year we changed the tyres on the caravan. The previous ones
were old.. Eh.. Very old.. eh.. no.. EXTREMELY old. ( 20+ ). The guy from the caravan
storage called us today. One of our new tyres is flat!!!!
