Found the final location for the fridge, so was able to measure & mark the vents and flue.
Cut-outs made in floor to enable any leaking propane gas to fall out of the van
(LPG vapours being heavier than air)
Connected up the mains too, so am now able to run fridge on mains electric, charge van batteries up during hours of darkness, as well as use power tools off the van's power sockets.

Solar Charger (black), Mains Charger (red) and Mains Consumer Unit  Shurflo Pump fixed in rear 'garage' area  bulkhead between the living area and the garage, I fixed it to a seperate board and then sandwiched the board and screws between rubber-grommets to dampen vibration & noise. This pump is a diaphragm type, which works on a pressure switch that is built in to it. When the taps are closed, the pressure builds up in the pipe and this operates a microswitch in the pump that switches off the power. When the taps are opened, pressure drops and the pump kicks back in from the microswitch.  Fitted 2 PC fans onto the vents to assist cooling. 'Inhale' at bottom & 'Exhale' at top. These are connected to a thermal switch that kicks in when the area behind the fridge becomes hot  Smev inset sink now fitted onto the worktop  Electric water heater is loose fitted under the sink. Power is fed via the neon switch next to the 2 gang plug. Both of these are fed from the mains inverter connected to my batteries, or mains electric if on hook-up  I decided to use the other cupboards that I removed, but needed to cut them down to allow for the shower/toilet area  The doors & fittings will be taken off and the doors then faced with the wood-effect fablon used on the other side    A bit of a dry run outing at Josh's football practice. Managed to knock up a brew and chill in front of the telly for an hour!  |
