Ceiling fan


The main cabin ceiling fan is a combination of two fans. One is a factory made solar powered extractor the other is a very large computer fan secured over the inlet of the solar fan. The computer fan is 24v, this gives me two speeds slow (12v) and fast (24v). The solar fan runs all the time in sunlight, the computer fan can be switched at the control panel when required.

Wall covering


Here you can see the wall covering over the ply. There are spaces cut out for the toilet hatch and the heater grill on the left. The gap on the top right of the top picture is for the control panel. The wall rock will be painted using hard wearing paint making it washable. You can also see the ply facing on the left of the doorway with a cut out at the top allowing the sliding door to close.

The top image shows the Kitchen tap in place. The second one shows the plumbing for the shower and toliet, the top 2 isolator valves are for the basin in the bathroom once it has been fitted. The last picture shows the waste for the kitchen sink, custom made to fit in to a normal trap.

Water pump


Here you can see the water pump located under the hot water cylinder. The blue pipe to the right takes the cold water to the sink and shower and the cold to the cylinder. The top picture shows the generator with the inverter on top and the cylinder to the right.

Shower wastes



The two shower wastes are both soldered 22mm rigid pipes leading to the waste tank and located in the side of the tank next to the sink waste.

Towel warmer and toilet


Here you can see the new towel warmer with thermostatic valve and the toilet fixed in place. The piping for the towel warmer is done inside the wall, the brass valve you can see in the wall is the bypass valve to compensate for the thermostatic valve on the towel warmer.

Door area


Here is the wall clad in 3mm ply with a gentle curve to the doorway. At the bottom of the wall you can see the 2 holes for the heater which will have the covers matching the one under the bed. On the right you can see the flow and return pipes to the diesel heater, the longer loop is for the towel warmer in the bathroom. The hole is for the access to the toilet waste tank.
