So, this is my next improvement to my Puck.I had obtained two locker doors and have been prevaricating about it for a while. I had some bad news on Friday, and needed to focus on something, so I decided that today would be the day !

I will at some point tidy up the inside with some sort of trim, but not today..

A small drill to make a hole for the jigsaw ( new blade fitted ) a cardboard template and low tack tape, some nice flexible sealant for caravans, a small pilot drill to start the screws, a pair of cheap scissors to cut the aluminium and a sharp knife for the polystyrene.
It was the news that an old school friend has gone that made me angry, we are only 65 !, and I needed something to take out my anger :) So, that's one done and one to go, on the other side.

I only did it because I leave the bed made up. I can now access the locker from the awning and when the other one is fitted, from the outside. It should make the van tidier !
I just brought 2 mini locker doors in magnolia.

I will add that i used a strong magnet to find the frame, then found out on cutting the end locker out that the rear lights ran diagonally across the end. Soon repaired though. I fixed them with the hinges at the bottom so that I didn't have to hold them open !!
