Don't tell him too often, it's good to keep these blokes on their toesI don't tell Ralph how much he is appreciated. Often enough.
But he is , lots and lots.

I've only put what correlle provide for two . If you want to eat cake with us, you'll have to bring your own tea plate !
Keeping the weights down , for my prosecco!
Pug gets his name cos he's a Peugeot , not after the dog. We've a Border Terrier !
R & B,
What size bulk tank were you able to fit in the end?
Cheers,
Jock.
Those brackets look meaty enough Ralph, unlike the cheap nasty thin metal bands that some installers choose to fit. At that capacity you're not adding too much weight when full.View attachment 73135 View attachment 73136
Hi Jock, Went for a 25 Litre but could have fitted bigger if we wanted to.
As we only use gas for cooking and heating the hot water, we thought 25 would be plenty
Just to recall we are going down the diesel heating route and run the fridge from 12v permanently.
I will cover the gas install in an update sometime, its just work keeps getting in the way
Here is the tank before and after it was treated with underseal. The tank support brackets came powder coated so had them shot blasted and galvanized.
Cheers.....Ralph
Sounds great , but we wanted more storage space inside. I'm 49 , so I don't have to worry about Being 70 for a while yet !
Bev will be there before me !!
As I said I've not been on the weigh bridge yet. Might do it Saturday on my way to Barrat tanks.
If Bev reads that comment you might not see 70.
We will hopefully be fitting an underslung tank once we have the new van.
I had a good chunk of furniture board left so decided to make a couple different size table tops.
One we can use for drinks when lounging. The bigger one is cut to fit nicely into the wardrobe ( hence the coffin shape ! )

Hi Charlie,
I think you'll find that the picture above IS our "Pug" !!
Which forum was it on ? We aren't on any others haha.
Anyways, Ralph used the regular furniture board for this table , using the knocking in strip for the edges. Although our furniture board is very strong good quality laminated stuff.
He also made a smaller one for drinks on an evening . Which Is underneath , the one in the above picture. Attached by a couple of brown plastic swivel clips.
@Charlie Thanks for your kind comments Charlie
The wood i use is from here.......Broken Link Removed
Not very cheap if you just want one sheet. I was one short to finish my doors and delivered cost me around £220
Here are a few ready made....www.grasshopperleisure.co.uk/tables-legs--bases-23-c.asp

This company will even make you a personalized one cheaper than a sheet of Morland lightweight plywood

Just for ideas this is how both of my tables connect when in use and being stored.
Cheers....Ralph
