  1 Lol maybe I let these things go to seed too long. We shall see. |
 2 One stop away, they say. |
 3 Van then turns around and drives off without delivering my stuff! |
 4 Time to install the power inlet. Fortunately a 2" hole saw is already on hand. |
 5 Inside, looking through into the lower part of the corner panel. |
 6 The van-lifers say the easy way is to go in through the plastic trim piece. |
 7 There's a one-way air vent in there that has to come out. This meant undoing the fasteners on the trim piece to have enough room to pull it out. |
 8 Reed valve type stuff. Open. |
 9 Closed. |
 10 Stripped the threads on this when trying to thread it back in. Can't really get a straight shot at it due to the shape of the trim panel. |
 11 Nothing like chasing threads 1/8" of a turn at a time. |
 12 Once the thread issue was fixed this was a super quick job like it should have been. |
 13 Now you're thinking with portals. |
 14 |
 15 Messy. |
 16 Tidy. |
 17 Basically a short extension cord that goes through the van but stays water tight. |
 18 Ford Model T on the block. I wonder if that is just a visitor or if it is staying. |
