New update

New updates:

Flooring has been laid, it is one piece of vinyl black with raised circles. Very hard wearing and easy to clean.
Mattress and soft furnishings added. The sofa cushions have now been removed and sent for upholstering in black vinyl with grey stitching.
240v Sockets have been added and connected to the remote switch.
Bathroom sink fitted and plumbed in.
Shower fitted and tested.
Small fold away road legal 50cc moped bought and fits in the rear of the van.

Door fronts and vinyl

These 3 pictures show the progress made this week. The doors have been clipped on and handles fitted. The bed area has been covered in cream Vinyl. The TV has been mounted. Most importantly the whole van has been cleaned and polished. Microwave has been fitted and the control panel has been painted and re-fitted.

Control Panel update

A close up view of the control panel with most switches connected. Temperature monitors connected and Eberspacher connected. Generator is also now fully functional along with the control unit.

Home Made exhaust

This is the exhaust from the generator. There is no way I was going to spend £200 on the dometic one so I used a spare Eberspacher silencer and 2 spray cans joined together with a baked bean can. It works perfectly.

Final finishes

The top picture shows the trim around the bathroom doorframe and the wall colour which is cotton cream. The other pictures show the glass surround on the worktop (Sprayed to match the doors) and the TV bracket which can be moved in to 2 positions one above the hob and one above the bed depending on how the kitchen is being used.

Control Panel

This is the half finished control panel, there are several other switches to add and other displays. The final finish for this will be the same as the locker and the unit fronts. As shown in the previous post the panel lowers for wiring requirements.

Start on electrics

The top picture shows the rear of the control panel when lowered. The bottom picture shows under the sofa area the bottom left box is the Battery to battery charger, bottom right The 240v charger, middle black box is the 24v to 12v converter. Top left are 3 junction boxes. Far right are the two 150AH batteries. The Steca solar charger failed on installation, new one on order.
