Day 2 and number one priority is to get a stereo in the campervan as there isn’t one in currently. After painstakingly researching (sometimes OCD is a benefit!) I found a suitable head unit with bluetooth streaming – Clarion FB289RBT. Once Iphone OS3.0 is released this summer we’ll be able to using our iPhones to remotely stream audio from it, so they’ll act like wireless full colour touchscreen remote controls – how cool is that!
Now it was time to install and work out the mass of wires. There seemed to be rather too many lose wires around, so i decided to have a clean out. Whilst doing this I put new spade connectors on all the earths and cleaned the contacts as some of these were rather brittle and frail to the touch.
Front speakers didn’t work definitely and had seen better days and the door cards look a bit tatty – ordered some new ones from JK. Need to think about covering the door cards as well – vinyl. cloth, padding…
Going to try and get some 6×9’s in here with mdf mountings. Rear speakers work fine, although they’ll need upgrading at a later date – but for now we’ve got some sounds!! Need to wire up the head unit to the leisure battery next but I need to work out how that’s wired in first.
Anna got her cleaning gloves out and some 1001 carpet cleaner and gave her a good once over, got rid of those dirty marks in the carpets and cleaned out all the cupboards
She’s smelling like a new lady….
