Here is a quick update on what has been happening lately with the Jayco.
We are not sure what the previous owners did for water in the caravan, we decide to fill the plastic water tank and we ended up with water all over the workshop floor. The plastic cap over the drain outlet of the tank had a huge hole in it. To our surprise our local Jayco agent could not help us with this minor part. We visited the local hardware store and found a chair stopper which with a little hot water fitted nicely.
The caravan was stock standard as far as the water system was concerned with the plastic tank under the van and the pump tap over the sink. Call me lazy but I stopped pumping water when my uncle sold his farm 30 years ago.
We decide to fit a mains pressure water system, the old pump tap was replaced with a new mains pressure unit. We mounted a bracket on the draw bar which holds another tap, a hose connection and a connection including a valve which supplies the tap at the sink. Photos of this piece of engineering can be seen at our gallery.
This week we have started on the interior, you will be surprised what we plan to do to the inside.
We purposely went for any older, but newer style caravan that we can modernize and ad some of the items mentioned on our website www.caravanersfriend.com.
Please return to view future blogs that we will be listing as we pimp our caravan.
