Okay. I'm not sure if that would work for our problem, @pgmerovingian. I've managed to design the spacers for my 3D printer. Not bad for a first attempt but it doesn't fit, yet.
@@HermanHitstheRoad Well, it worked for me as the gas compartment kept falling on my head before. Hows about stainless steel washers to lift the door a bit?
The products were interesting and I properly laughed out loud. I wouldn’t sleep at night if I had an issue with my brakes. Enjoy your holiday. Take care Gill
2 of our brake lines failed recently at same time on our year 2000 B534. Not on underside but where they were held in clips just after the master cylinder , excessive wear from clip. Fortunately happened at end of long journey whilst filling with water at campsite. If this had happened on the road goodness know what outcome would have been. Lesson is always take care of all brake system particularly brake lines and inspection end to end
yes change the rusty brake lines! one of mine burst last fall on the day i was meant to start my trip. luckily i discovered this when bleeding the brakes. Had to put an emergency replacement line in which consisted of a copper alloy tube and a very ugly job of bending it more or less into place. emphasis on the less. Still it's worked fine for a year.
Hiya. All you need to do with the habitation door is adjust the hinges that are mounted to the door with either an Allen key or screwdriver (whichever yours is ) and just slide the door up and tighten.
Adam, how about getting in touch with the campsite warden (Neil Taylor) & getting a Frank Side bottom head from him to put on the Torso doll & maybe a hat 😂😂
Was your smokeless fire pit the Solo Stove? It’s just a standard wood logs, fuel wise. It’s 360° Airflow super-heats air to burn off the smoke, so no more smoke covered clothes etc.
I said to you at the time it was the Turbo intercooler Hose that came off, you said to me it doesn't have a Turbo, but I knew it had! :-) Defo Hab door hinges worn. If you can't find any, get in touch I may know someone who can possibly make you new ones! He made some for me! Different sort though! That's why he may be able to make them?? Excellent quality as good as new in fact better!
So the original fault was a Turbo Blow Job. Channel is certainly changing to a more grown up nature. I just wonder what Zoe can review safely. 😂 Certainly made us laugh. 🤠👧👫
With respect to your comment of what you should film in the future, how about filming the van 'things' that havent broken (yet?). I'm sure it would cheer up Herman...all of your negatives could be driving him to suicide? (Motor-cide? Camper-cide? ) 😂
I am watching this just be fore going to bed. Taking Nessa on Holiday in a 6 hours time. We also have wear on our door hinges, but not to quite the same extent, It does look like they side on nylon bushes, no idea where to even start looking or removing as if memory serves me they are riveted hinges with a screw in each half. I am hoping for a nice smooth trip, will be interesting to see how much fuel we save since the new gearbox has been fitted. 3D printers are brilliant. My Brother in Law printed an new Thermostat dial as the original one got damaged and then lost by my kids. so it was guess work were the temperature was set too. You could use the Torso thing to test camping chair. in the back ground. That has to ne one of the strangest I have ever heard to be reviewed.
@@HermanHitstheRoad We are now on the Isle of Mull. Only a week this time. So far an almost troubled free journey. Almost as I went through a puddle and it put on the break wear indicator light. I know it was fine as had front discs and pads done last year and rear pads at the same time. Fingers and toes crossed for a first trouble free trip on the way home. The former was down to me forgetting dog biscuits and have to turn around get them via a flooded back road.
@@HermanHitstheRoadI’ve 3D printed lots for our Men’s Shed and anything going to be exposed to UV we just paint and seems to last. Only issue with the exterior 3D printed items is if they get hot, in direct sun etc, then they ‘droop’ and relax. Loosing their shape and as yours depends on an interference fit to clasp, it might not in future.
@@HermanHitstheRoad A company called Apuljack can upgrade the EBL to give it A lithium profile, this and a DC to DC charger for the alternator will make an easy upgrade.
Thanks @michaelhall4937. I know that it's possible but that would mean doing lots wiring and replacing the EBL with many different pieces of electronic which I don't fancy

This has got to be the funniest vlog you've done in an age,loved it❤❤❤😂😂
Thanks, Jim 👍👍
For the door latches not holding I heated them up with a hot air gun and squeezed them together a bit, works a treat!

have a great Trip Adds loving the Herman news sorry to hear about the breakdown
Thanks @webgibs 👍👍
Awesome video, thank you ads
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video, @hornetboy3694 👍👍
Hi, oh please tells us what Zoe said about “the torso” this has to be the weirdest and funniest video you have ever made. 😂😂😂😂
She told me to get a room, @carolynandcocohaywood2638 🤣🤣. No, I can't remember what she said

Thanks Jack but I don't think they work like that. I think the spacers have worn down

Thanks for the idea, Andy but then where would I get the legs and arms from?

Use washers as spacers
That's an idea, thanks @bossstangs197

Thanks @peterneal7160. Yeah, i can't find these hinges online. If you have contact details then I'd really love to know. Thanks
try uv-paint on your 3 d thingee clip

If you paint your 3D printed hatch clip with plasticote paint it will provide UV protection.
Yeah, that might work, @kinross24

Yes, I totally understand that, @kinross24. I've used the wrong filament. Thanks
Herman's original Elektroblok charger won't handle lithium batteries. You'd need to upgrade it.😉
You're right, Herbert. It won't fully charge it but the solar charger will 👍

Have you tuned the bosh tdi fuel pump dud mine much better up hills now better fuel economy too all the best donny
I wouldn't know what or where that is, Donny
@@HermanHitstheRoad I can talk you through it it's quite simple to do
@HermanHitstheRoad can help you with it np
@HermanHitstheRoad can give you a hand with it sometime it's easy to do and free
maybe you could use the torso when you go through multiple person traffic lanes 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Great idea, Graham
