Nice job

I'll check out your web site & youtube channel.

A couple of quick questions: Do you use the microwave much? Is there more ventilation for it than there appears in the video? Any problems with it over heating?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy! Thanks.

We only really use the Microwave for quick things when on hook up (beans / soup and warming up a cold coffee etc). We do have an inverter big enough for it, but it does hammer the batteries.

There is quite a bit of ventilation around it as all the space behind the facia is one open space with a big gap around the microwave, the picture may be a bit deceptive. There is about a foot of empty space behind it and a good bit of space above it. This all vents out around the microwave and the hole where the door mount slides in. Never had a problem with it overheating but to be fair its probably never been on for more than 10 mins. We tend to use the gas oven far more.

Hope that helps!

Hello Mike, welcome aboard this ever expanding base of self building intrigue.

There is one in our midst who is in the process of converting his IVECO Daily, namely @Kermavio, he lives over in France, no doubt he will be very interested to see your efforts.

All the best

Phil
