Can anyone help with this windout mechanisim for out hatch:   As you can see the plastic has broken. I have tried to 'Weld' the plastic but didn't work so I really need to get a replacemnt. Been looking but can't find one any help is appreciated. |

As Al has suggested...outside the square... could the plastic part be re-produced by an aluminium tube welded to a plate?

I reckon you might be on track there Brent my engineering shop mate could knock that up but cost may not be good some steel/alloy tubing and a plate then get the lot powder coated after making sure it all worked and it would be hard to pick Steel would be easier for an amatuer job |

Well looks like I may have fixed the winder. I glued a metal backing to the plastic to give strength then glued the parts together then glued and screwed the whole mechanisim together with the metal strapping. Time will tell:   I attached it to the table so that it dried correctly. |

Well we are almost finished this beautiful van. Painted the inside and out. I used a new paint and it worked like a charm. 2 Pack. Bit of getting used to though. But I will be using it from now on. We still have a few curtains to make and a couple of small jobs to finish. Then to work on the 23 footer.....but that's another story... Painted the walls and light green/white  The stripe colour worked out just fine. Nice and mild  Putting brown curtains up Bunks      |

Hi Steve,
Great progress there, looking very neat, some nice caps & trims on your wheels to finish off.
Better move it from that pine tree limb that's touching or you will be full of ants.
