For mine i used a few bits of scrap ply to make a very simple knock up, two bits and a old hinge then messed about til I got the position right so it both supported the door open and also held it closed, there was is minimal stress on the door or frame.

You can get it in plastic so with a bit of wedge cutting on the unseen part & some heat to help it bend I'd think it'd be possible.

I did earth the one I fitted in the self build as I was running cable everywhere, but not since and most smaller ones which plug into the ciggy socket have no earth other than on the 12v side.

£15 each they didn't have many and I bought them all I had 6 left I put them on ebay but no interest so I binned them after a few months.

My doors were from Magnum Motorhomes. I did make some doors out of 15mm lightweight ply and put edging around them.

I've seen those mounts but I use the CD player so never tried one but they looked a bit flimsy and I thought they might damage the player

Not seen those before but Hafele is good gear, not sure I would want gas struts though, surely they will apply pressure to what is essentially flimsy ply.

I like that, I have some SS piano hinge kicking about which might work. I did this in the self build. it was fixed as the TV was above it so never in the way, I let in a cut down piece of oak so I could put in two 35mm screws from the other fridge side as it was at elbow height and I knew one...

Aha!!, thanks I'll give that some thought, I wasn't thinking of that way.

I like the brackets, not sure how you would mount a shelf with them though.

Absolutely it does, it's all good info for others. I need to fit some sort of shelf in the van for Liz to put her cup of tea, but it needs to be removeable too and there is nowhere to fit it except next to the hob, which would be ok but I can't find a made shelf that is small enough, and then a...

Why?

I got most of my stuff from here but they look to have seriously changed what they stock now. https://www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk/

I think I'd use the same size as the battery cable too.

I'd have a connection from the NEG bus bar direct to the chassis too.

you can always report YT vids if you think they are dangerous etc.

Hmm, Re Neg wiring I was told it was best to put them direct to the chassis as near to the battery as possible, I thought this was a good idea as the chassis manufacturer did the same. But I'm not a sparky so ignore me.

Some of the best channels only have a few thousand subscribers. Kris Habour is good, and very informative, you might like him, and I like Waylons old iron, he's just entertaining, also trail mater for pure skills.

I don't think I've ever really bothered with electrical videos although I do watch Big Clives channel as he's just hilarious, I prefer to come on a forum and ask, but present company excepted that too can be dodgy.

Very true, you should always watch at least 5 YT videos then you will have 5 right ways of doing it the wrong way. To be fair, for most stuff YT is invaluable there are some very generous-minded helpful people out there.
