Blast! First try! Some pictures That's it! First attempt Latcho Drom II last weekend. We joined a group of Vr'istes camping Lafontaine St-Jérome. Check with excitement Friday morning. Now boarding by bright sunshine. I am still amazed at the comfort of such a vehicle coupled with an automatic transmission and what about the music of Detroit 8-92 of 475 hp turbo. How sweet!
Arrived in St-Jerome at 13:00. The entrance to the site reveals the age of this site. All entrances are narrow. Even very close. As the locations are not level, rather designed for travel trailers and fifth wheels, use of a pile of timber is essential to make the Prevost comfortable.
Definitely, it will be a weekend in the water despite the heat and the beautiful sun. Ikea faucets his own. According to the saleswoman, the connections are "standard" with North American standards. Shit! The water flows through the joints! No way to seal the connections with rubber are supplied with the kit because not available here in Quebec. With perseverance, doing and undoing until achieving a result that never comes with this kit Swedish. Result, the O-ring rubber, smaller than the pipe with water, is found in the pipe. After reflection, Using Teflon tape, I made a "seal" which proved effective and waterproof.
Second flight! Sealand porcelain toilet runs on the floor between the floor and seal the floor. Although I had installed the toilet as recommended by the manufacturer, it was not waterproof. The rubber gasket supplied with the toilet did not work seals deforming tightening each revealing an opening impossible to seal. Both son Michael is proposed to go buy a new wax seal to the local hardware store by bike. They returned 30 minutes later with the object that "should" solve my problem. Removal and installation of toilet wax seal. Laying the toilet ... and test more water. After reviewing the situation, another wax seal came in support of the first after Rick and Danny returned to the hardware store. Brave boys. Helpful as their parents. Result: more water! Merde alors!! Michael proposed to me to buy a metal gasket this time to reduce the space between the floor and the toilet. Two joints and a caulking metallized wax overcame the flow. Previously, assessing the situation, it is one piece is missing in the installation of the toilet where the faulty seal. I will buy this piece that is normally found in the installation kit.
Third 'damage' of water! By emptying the kitchen sink, a discharge of water poured on the floor by the drain already plugged by vanity. Negligence on my part this time. After draining the gray water tank, all entered the order without having provoked many emotions among Manon "well tanned" water damage for this weekend. And with good reason do I admit.
Finally, we found that our new Vr is comfortable. That the development plan is truly effective and functional. The taste of leaving is present and next week will be dedicated to continue our project ... Latcho Drom II.
