Regarding the ducting, could you ping me picture of the pipe and T piece? I’ll have a look if it’s something easily obtainable down here.

Cheers!

It’s 3.3Amp draw, my leisure battery will be about 70AH max I can comfortably fit. With some other draw from interior lights and such I take it it’ll run for about a day??? I take it there’s no such thing as compressor / gas hybrid fridge

Unless technically speaking the rear part is covered by the tent only when it's erected. I could still mount the solar panel underneath.

thanks for another food for thoughts

ericappla wrote:Hi Chaps

here are few thoughts/forming plans I had on my future camper

Heating:
webasto hot air from the group buy, 3 air ducts. One to the roof to allow heating of roof mounted tent, second in the wheel arch (just like Oddjob has it) to allow for heating adherent tent. Last one obviously into the cab.

Electricity:
two alternators and two batteries, no split charger. I plan on placing two batteries right next to each other where the middle seat normally is. It would be sitting pretty much as deep as possible in where the optional tool tray is. This setup will allow me to clamp them together if needed either if it's very cold and I have a problems starting or in case of one of the alternators packing it.

Water:
two 45 litre tanks located like the military style under seat tanks. One for drinking water, second for utility water. This one I'm planning on making coil from copper pipe and soldering it into the tank. Coolant will pass through the copper pipe and preheat the 45 litre tank to have warm water readily available for washing dishes hands or whatever. Saves on the propane gas and the heat is there for free

Cooking/Cooling:

propane bottle located under the vehicle at the rear where the toolboxes in the 109 usually are. I still need to think about how to make actual fixing to make it easy to remove and add even as a one man job. I also think mud guard is required to stop the fixings being caked in mud all the time
Fridge the usual 3 way type Propane/12V/mains. Can anybody please share pictures of their arrangements?
When it comes to actual kitchen or better to say cooker how did you guys dealt with all the fumes and oily sticky stuff? I am thinking of using the system i seen I think in Dormobile???? Where it hangs of the rear door?

Here you go:



Just be aware it needs to be high temperature stuff - plastic drainpipe fittings etc. will soften and distort.

The size is 60mm.
