just check for nails :-(

Thinking of getting a honda to run on propane for the same reasons as Dreadlocks - diesel truck, already carry propane for cooking and don't want to lug around a third fuel type. I've also read that the exhaust smell running on propane is a lot less noticable around your campsite - i guess if...

and on a couple of trestles they make great work benches/tables - i've been using mine as that all through my build....

i'd be interested to know what each half of the finsihed thing weighs when filled - i know the compressor is a big chunk of the weight...

i like that - wonder if there is room on top of the propane spreader plate to allow some lava rocks? more even heat and better smoke flavour.....

and with the threat of forest fires everywhere now most places ban charcoal or anything that can give off embers and sparks on the wind. I love cooking on charcoal but i've given up carrying one as there are so few places you can use it - i'll get a disposable if i'm ever somewhere fireproof

I would definitely make it fit the Ranger/Navara/Hilux narrower European/Australian market if you want to take international sales off people like Bimobile - i would have seriously considered getting a kit shipped over to europe as the basis for my build if it had been available

they do exist https://eurom.nl/de/product/klima-kontrolle/split-klimaanlagen/ac2401/ but very low powered, still heavy and expensive. And if the product is as bad as the web site i would avoid it like the plague....

very cool - excuse the pun. Ive been thinking of doing something similar for the same reasons with a portable unit, so definitely interested to see how this works out

wife stitched together a better photo of the bathroom....

technical systems are now pretty much complete and successfully tested except the solar which was supposed to be delivered this week but didn't show up yet.... I found a commercial acrylic/fibreglass shower tray that fitted in the available space with just a little tweaking and has a much...

700 watts initially in 2 pairs of 12v panels in series, so putting 24v into the controller. If that proves insufficient I have space on the roof for another 350 watts....

I've got a spare switch so may as well throw it in there....

Should i fit an isolator switch to my solar panels in the same way i have one to the battery so i can disconnect all power to the camper wiring for storage/maintenance? And if so should it go between the panels and the controller or between the controller and the rest of the wiring? My guess is...

been there, done that. Still can't warm to it, but its nice to have company....

a few weeks late owing to problems getting parts delivered during the lockdown, but some progress has been made with a few of the technical systems: The jack heads have been completely re-engineered and motorised. Originally I fitted bevel gears expecting to use a motor with a worm drive...

I'm using Plastimo water bladders on my camper build. I've only done static tests on a single bladder so far but i'm impressed with how well it moulds to the complex shape i have between my C shaped floor joists and how much of the available volume is actually usable - if i used rigid tanks i...

yeah, i think i've reached that conclusion from the feedback here. And that is the whole point of asking the question :-)

i can't see a way of easily and affordably making a large enough panel of flat aluminium stay rigid enough - it would either need to be too thick to save weight, or any form of batten on the back would have to be bonded in such a way that it doesnt protrude on the smooth surface, and at only...

I don't think i am making myself clear here. The point of an aluminium backing panel cut to fit the size of the PV panel is to conduct heat away from the PV panel and into an air gap - it would act as a heat sink. I could easily make a composite backing panel and glue the PV to that to make it...
