This morning sheet material arrives from Latham's. All 0.26 tonnes of it. Now it's stuck in the door way until we have time, weather and space to work with it. 12mm for the garage floor and entrance step. 6mm for the inner shower room walls. 3.6mm for the roof and wall paneling.

Thicker carpet.

I only have one 2kw eberspacher in Murky. Ducting just down one side with two outlets. More in an insulated small van might be a bit much.

Have you considered just having a short run just down one side? As it’s a narrow van the air should propagate to the other side. On the Betty build I have a similar air circuit to you, but with more torturous bends. The ducting is also dual purpose. In the air eberspacher mode I’m not...

That's the easy answer and what was done for the traveling seats in Murky. As it still has some Unwin rails, belted coach seats were the easy answer. For the Betty build I want more.

The worst I've driven are some of the car derived vans where the pedals are pushed forward in the car version and still in the van when you want to push them down. Back to motorhome seating I think it's the convertibility of them that makes them bad. I'm hoping to address that for the Betty...

From my limited experience and being a fussy bugger I find most seating very uncomfortable. It doesn't help with so many people being very tall. That is over the normal height of 5'3" and that seating is possibly designed around them. I've always thought there must be British Standard Seat...

Progress. Anita has managed to secure some sheet materials for lining and other bits. The product I was after for the bulk of the lining was not available, so we settled for an inferior board. The MII eberspacher has finally got an exhaust outlet, though still some tidying to do. No sign of the...

Oh well I waisted my time as a cylinder-head development engineer. They'd better give their awards back lol

Weirdly the corrugated tube is supposed to improve air flow by making the air stick to the wall. It's also supposed to reduce simultaneous reverse flow on the wall, but that is a whole other sad story. (excuse the pun please)

You'll need to balance the flow. Some kind of adjustable restriction. This is why I used 90mm in Betty for main duct and branched of with 60mm that still may need restricting. I guess your going down one side and up the other?

My concern was 1. Condensation. 2. Warm water is not so nice to drink.

Are you going to insulate the tank?

That sounds illegal! ;)

Water changed, and fuel tank filled. Escaping in the morning.

Yes you are correct, Mercedes bit 24 volt. Amateur bit 12 volts.

In the Murky build I have two inverters, one running from the engine start batteries and the other from the habitation. When driving at night, by moving a three pin plug I can swap mains circuits to run from the engine inverter. This enables me to run the mains fridge, charge the habitation...

Internal combustion engine burning petroleum to make electricity is supposed to be 20% efficient, I expect it’s more like 10% So 90% is heating the planet! In fact the remaining percentage will end up as heat. I was going to use an old lister to burn waste oil to make electricity, after...
