Slightly south

[Blocky10]

Haven't gone too far for a break this time. Just far enough to leave the troubles of work and the home job list behind

We're at kelvedon hatch for a couple of weeks. Do have a couple of jobs on though
I'm picking up wheels and tyres today and I've found a caravan breakers not far away so I'll be heading there to see if I can get a bathroom sink. I've holed ours somehow. I say I have because it wasn't anyone else

I didn't have a hitch lock on but I also didn't leave it. The girls needed the pee break. Bladders like a satsuma!
I patrolled the area directly around my truck..... and my van!
Settled on site and as secure as I can get it. Hitch lock, 2 wheel clamps and it's fitted with an alarm. The hitch lock can be fitted while on the truck and I do use it whilst parked up in services.

Just don't use hitch lock when driving

Causes problems for the guys with blue lights if they need to move it quick when your about

Yes I've been to clear up accidents when the trailer/caravan has been locked to the tow vehicle. A royal pain in the rear. Usually a right mess so either cut through the tow bar or a frame depending which has suffered the most damage.

This'll do me for now

[Blocky10]

Haven't been able to get a sink for my van bathroom. Have seen on flea bay a company (?) who makes identical sinks in fibreglass, as long as they have a mould, for £70ish.
Have also found a direct replacement for £60ish. Again on flea bay.
So, as I'm not able to replace it whilst here on hols, I was wondering if I could possibly seal the hole using a soldering iron?
I've a gas soldering iron with me that had already been in use since I've been here to repair my younguns laptop cable!

What d'ya reckon?

[jims-terrano]

Silicone bathroom sealer from a local hardware shop?

Now this sounds daft but I reckon it's possibly a great idea, bicycle puncture repair kit? The patch and rubber solution?

[Blocky10]

Perfect Jim.
I have a puncture repair kit somewhere. I also have silicone!
Don't ask me why I have all this gear with me on hols. I just do

I'd guess a plastic of some sort
The listing for the fibreglass replacement on flea bay says the originals are ABS plastic?

How badly is the gold plate damaged

If you wanna repair it and keep it fibre glass and resin is easy to use, but It bloody pongs.
