Cleaning up & Learning about Katy

We're starting to clean up our new camper van and finding out some information about her

On the passenger side body you can see this plate which has unfortunately been defaced ( probably deliberately) and is covered in green slime around the edges

I posted a question about this on the Land Rover Addict forum and the response was absolutely superb and now I know that Katy is a 1987 Marshalls (MCE) bodied ambulance.

Manfr.        M.C.E. is  Marshall of Cambridge Engineering
Serial No.  The actual production number of the vehicles bodywork [non land rover]
REG No.   The parent vehicle military registration number
                   M.O.D use a completely separate reg system from DVLA.
Con No.     The contract the vehicle/body was built for.

It's taken about 3 hours with a pressure washer to clean her up and strip all of that awful farmyard algae off the bodywork and accessories. It was quite fun up on the roof standing there looking over the hedge at the passers by wondering what I was doing

So now the drive is a right mess and the land rover is clean. That doesn't sound right, but is a good step forwards as it was actually unpleasant to do jobs on Katy with all the slime.

Other good news is that some of the camper electrics are working as I've managed to turn a few things on

I need to get the interior sorted ASAP so we can go play together
