Hi MikeJ

You asked me earlier about a modification to the upper circular fronted cupboard in the Bolero 630EW kitchen. I bought a couple of telescopic struts from B&Q and built a pull out shelf which when extended arrives at a very accessible position.

I would have liked to have obtained some matching wall board to that already used in the model but have had to compromise with a material that's reasonably close. I reckon Swift could produce a much lighter nicely designed wire pull-out rack.

I've attached a picture of the modification.

Hi Graham
Looks good-given me something to think about. Thanks

Hi again Peter

Just a couple of thoughts ref the Bolero (things going through my mind at 5am this morning Rolling Eyes ) don't know if others agree but one of the things we miss on our caravan is cupboard access to the area below the seating in the lounge area, it would be far easier if there was a lift up cupboard door underneath the seating.

Also would be nice if there was some place in one of the higher cupboards to clip wine glasses and maybe a couple of bottle holders.

As I say nothing major just little things we miss from our Eldiss Cyclone................and only suggestions for you for the future.

Hi Briarose
I have fitted the cupboard above the fridge with bottle and glass holders-its exactly the right size. These can be obtained from any camping shop.

Hi thats a really good idea, the only thing is we have had the Sky mini box fitted in there, and also a DVD recorder.............I also pop my laptop in there as it is too big for the dedicated area in the cab.

But you have given me an idea we could probably fix some in another cupboard I hadn't realised that you could buy them from camping shops.

Just out of interest what do you keep in the cupboards above the seating area, we wish the shelves were adjustable in those...........we could probably take out one of the middle bits though and fix holders there.

Hi Briarose
In one cupboard we keep 'bits and bobs' which we keep in plastic containers. The other we are undecided about, but it may be books etc. as we are going to Spain for the Winter and will need some reading matter.

Ref books I have bought the couple of books that are out about folk taking time out to travel around Europe in a motorhome it really makes you want to set off right now.

Hi as we have been chatting about Boleros in this topic have any of you fitted or sorted out a different aerial to the one that actually comes with the vehicle ? we find the one supplied with the vehicle (possibly to do with Fiat vans) has a lot of interference when using the radio...........and also hard to pick up channels.

We have now also bought the bottle holders that we talked about so going to fit them in one of the cupboards, also got the bike rack sorted today wonderful job by Camper UK Lincoln (see my other topic).

Thanks again to Mick at Swift and this forum we should have a new part this week to solve this problem.

Just got to sort the blessed radio out sometime, but guess that is going to be another trip to Newark Rolling Eyes
