Ventilation against the heat

A while ago I got a kit with a solar panel and 2 connected ventilators. This would turn on the vents as soon as sun would shine onto the panel.

First I drill a hole so that the cabling can go through. Then I added sealant, to seal that hole against moisture and rain.






Two more vents will be controlled with a 230V adapter and a manual regulator. So there will then be a total of 4 ventilators mounted above the camper door. 


For the enclosure of the gas container I am using plywood which I brought from UK.

More Progress

Since a few days the weather is ideal for camper conversion activities: the rain has stopped, but there is not yet that deadly sunshine which makes working in the camper impossible - at 55 deg C it is very difficult to make productive work.

A few bits of progress today:

Got the final piece of fuel pipe adaptor from Amazon, connecting pipes of 6mm to 8mm inner diameter. Connected the fuel pump and 2 filters. Now all the pipes from the diesel heater and its tank are completed.

I also affixed a wooden bar which presses the red diesel fuel container down.


Still missing is the full enclosure of the Gaslow gas tank.

In addition I did affix the gas heater at the wall.


And I affixed the wall between bedroom and bathroom.







And finally I connected the two candle lights to electricity.


Behind the wall there is the electric connection for those candle lamps, including the Earth wire which is connected to the metal case.
