What did you do to your rig today?

[bagmaker]

here is the fridge and freezer lock. Same system as the cold-start/high idle, when air comes up, so does the lock.

here is the mechanism, mounts in an 80mm gap behind the fridges

this is what it looks like unlocked behind the freezer without the fridge. When air comes up, so does the lock. There is an over-ride valve in a cupboard if needed.

this is the end result, or what you see of it -in the running position

and this is what you see when we are stopped. Not too obtrusive. There are a couple of little bits of hose on the ends to stop scratching

There is no limit to your ingenious imagination, another brilliantly simple solution that would also work with the cupboard doors. You have given me ideas on ways to pin the wire slide out baskets in the Mazda build so they don't hammer the doors till the roller locks fail.
Where did you score all the little cyls?

[bagmaker]

You are most kind with the words Mr T1
Spare cylinders came from years of designing and building packaging and food machinery, (those were from the stuff that DIDN'T work )still got a few left which will be applied to the drawers and cupboards. Considering the workload that we are asking, the cheapy ones off Aliexpress or similar will do a fine job

Rutherglen is in the midst of a 'rain event'.
(ie: it's raining here!)
So Girt is getting washed.

Hi, all.

Currimundi's enduring torrential rain. Everything is getting washed. The local lake is at (theoretical) low tide. It's nearly overflowing.

Raining here too, Bruce went to check for any leaks in the Coaster, came back 2 hrs later told me that the diesel heater operates perfectly.
The wind is gusting from the north, water in lake is high & worse weather is expected o'night, extra ropes on the boat.

ho hum, waiting for the carpet to dry so I can put it back into the M/H, thinking ahead when rain and wind stops and the sun shines again I need to check tyre pressures all around by pressing a button on the tyre guard TPM system and adjust if needed.
