Looking really professional, love following your thread, I was looking forward to seeing how the vario turned out but now enjoying this just as much. Hopefully Wissel will create a new thread on the conversion

I suggested a monkey bike, looks like the bigger gorilla one might be better!

I don't suppose anyone has a set of fridge vent covers lying around gathering dust that they never use? The previous owner of my fine chariot ..we will call him bodjit bill for now has changed the 3 way fridge to a 240v only fridge....which in itself is good BUT he has left the 2 gaping vents in the side of the van which are not blanked off and they don't half let a draught in. I never used the winter covers on any of my vans as i felt they reduced fridge performance so they just lived under a bench somewhere but theres none with this van.

Yep, 18mm structural (like the frame) set 3mm below the rest of the floor so a matching laminate can be applied above.

Frame being varnished now so it matches the existing board.

 

[Manic]

Could just fix a piece of Perspex to the back of grills.

 

[Lenny HB]

Better off doing what Manic says, the covers still leave a gap along the bottom.
If you do use vent covers you need secure them properly the standard fixing are naff. I had one dissappear in a Gale with the van on the drive.
I think I've got one spare somewhere (only one) but there are several different sizes.

No Tam please don't I hate thumbnails.

Sounds like your data is too slow, thumbnails won't help as you will still have to open the pic to full image to view properly.

 

[Northernraider]

I didn't think you needed to open them , they should just display on the page.

Yeah i was going to cover them on the inside too. I just figured double insulation if i put covers on outside too

Just got to watch you don’t make a trapped area where if water gets in my cause rot or mould

Small area and behind the fridge where the compressor is generating heat, I wouldn't worry about insulation.

Yes its on the inverter 24/7 so far all good everything it uses is replaced by middday

Oh year I forgot you can choose to upload them as a thumbnail but none of us oldies would be able to see them.

But what about mid winter when it’s dark, murky, cloudy for most of the day
