About 5 or 6 years ago on SBMCC there was one of the regular members who decided to make his own excetionally thermally efficient compressor fridge, where if my memory serves me correctly, he used 100mm thick Cellotex for the walls, floor and ceiling and a sandwich of 2 thicknesses of 50mm...

Ah I see and hence the shiny finish

What type of insulation are you going to be using?

OUCH, so back to plan Z is it Dave?

Are those legs as rocky as they look, and or do you need to use some kind of heavy duty guy ropes to stop it swinging about in even a light breeze? Great looking truck and fingers crossed with the DVLA.

As David has so clearly shown, there are so many ways of skining a cat

With these Low Loader vans, has anyone ever thought of making a 2 storey conversion?

Personally I like sticks and stones and direct control for the only reason that I am far closer to being in control with a direct switch that a remote control that in my experience, oh so very often, develops a glitch! But there again, that is a 70+ something spouting off again in the same way...

Jelly Mould, that's what the Frod Sierra was once known as.

You shuld see the wiring in France, it's all arse about face!
