"No man can live this life and emerge unchanged. He will carry the imprint of the desert, the brand which marks the nomad; and he will have a yearning to return. For this cruel land can cast a spell which no temperate climate can match."

Progress

Days to go : 196

After a bit of fiddling I finally refitted the original (LR) solenoid that I took out over a year ago.  After a good clean up with contact cleaner and a squirt of WD40 it was fitted and is working perfectly.

P3190018As I mentioned earlier the solenoid is in a really awkward position on the rear of the pump surrounded by pipework and bracketry.  It is impossible to use a socket or ring spanner and a normal open ended is too 'fat' and long to fit easily and swing sufficiently.  I don't know what everyone else uses but I have modified a 24mm spanner which I find works perfectly.  I have attached a image here to show it.

I finally managed to get the awning to sit straight and level and have now completed an articles outlining how it is fitted here.

Tomorrow I hope to make some progress with the fresh water system.
