TRIBEmeet 2021 project or Karandras_sh buys a van

Time for another update big progress.

I cut the work top for the sink and cooker last weekend

Dry fit

Then I spent most of the week applying coats of Danish oil and sanding it back.

Now on to this weekends progress,
I started by plumbing the sink so full running cold water and waste, with a 19l Jerry Can for each. Then I had to do the wiring of the pump and get the wiring in place for the gas hob as it had an electric ignition (the old cooker had a Piezo ignition)

Then it was on to the most scary job drilling a hole it the floor for the Gas drop vent.

Then the "fun" of plumbing the Gas system in. It took me 3 attempts to bend all the pipes correctly as it comes out of the side of the gas box up and back into the unit then up to a gas shutoff valve then from there into the Hob unit,

Major construction "finished", just looking at how to do a splashback to stop the drivers seat getting covered with whatever I am cooking.

Now to get back on with my Ash wastes board
 
I finally returned to the van with upgrades ready for the summer festival season and of course TribeMeet.

I had upgraded the solar controller and the battery to battery charger earlier (the blue boxes), but my old leisure battery was 5 years old and not holding charge. So out with the old in with the new.


The only downside of this huge battery is that it fills nearly the whole under the seat area I moved some of the electrics on to a panel on the back. Making the fuse box easier to get at
