As usual, just a lash up. These are the water heated radiators. In time they will be mounted to housings that will feed the blown air heating. So much more plumbing than I expected. Still the Calorifier and the shower room heated towel rail to plumb. Shower room needed first ;)

Made a start on the internal plumbing today. I decided to put some foil covered adhesive backed foam first. All of this will be buried with furniture later. Just a quick mockup at the moment. I want to prove for myself I’m not being stupid. It looks like it will work, so I’ll do more in the...

If you have to put stickers on the sides, make one that looks like a window! As for insurance, it's an agreement between you and the insurance company. Betty is insured as a motorhome, but not on the road as not finished.

I try not to think of costs whilst working on Betty, as I sure the tears would make the job tougher! Still no end in sight.

I wouldn’t have some old boiler in the van with me ;)

The book “Travel Vans” has a section on reverse osmosis water cleaning.

Still very slow progress, I’ve finally got hot water from the engine and eberspacher inside. At least this allows me to progress the hot water heating. Anita managed to get in on the act buy soldering some copper fittings. Always good to keep your skills honed. I’ve ran two 22mm bore silicone...

I like the ticking

Off topic, but if your mind can wonder a bit not. Whilst researching various options about a dc or mains powered fridges many years ago. I came across some boat stuff where you could buy all the refrigeration bits for about £600 and make your own cabinet to refrigerate.

Just a bit of trivia, Anita has been in communication with a fabric manufacturer for Betty. We have a sample of a colourful fabric for the seats and other bits. She decided to talk to them today as we couldn’t find a product that ticked the boxes for the bulk of the trim. Funnily enough they...

I always used to solder a very small crocodile clip on the black probe to free up a hand.

Whilst having a bit of a PC tidy up, I came across this link I found. Might be handy for someone doing a new serious build. I don't have any connection with them or even tried them. Coldsaver Panels, Composite Panels, Insulated panels, Sandwich Panels, Aluminium Panels

I would have thought all batteries had an optimum charge discharge temperature range.

Mother wouldn't let me have one in the shed as she thought it would kill me.

I don't know your boiler and some things have improved over the years, but no harm in asking. Better than reading about the death of you and your family.

I think you have a serious problem if it got that hot.

Reminds me I haven’t wired in the auto demist with my M12 eberspacher.

The point being, as there was not much current flowing to get out of Bulk for a few hours. The voltage was held at a high level for this time. Just wondering if this would be detrimental to the batteries. It would be nice if the MPPT was aware of the Battery charger.
