After 2 years of use we decided that having just an electric heater was not working for us. We found too many times we didn’t have shore power hookups but needed a bit of heat. After reviewing the options I decided on the Espar B4L M2 heater. Features included: Runs on Petrol (regular Gas for

When opening the kitchen storage cabinet I found it was quite dark in there. Also I have a hidden storage pit that is also quite dark, so I added a LED light to the top and put it on a door activated microswitch. Problem solved!

The one storage spot under the counter in the kitchen area needed a bit of structure to help organize it. I made one section that has a grid to store pint jars and then one that fits on top of that which is more just an open bin. These are sized to just fill the

I finally got around to installing some wheel arch covers. I had put foam / aluminum duct insulation over the wheel arches, but always felt like it wouldn’t hold up over time with things banging around in the storage lockers.

One of the things I did during the initial build was to use a fairly cheap MSW (Modified Sine Wave) inverter. At the time I didn’t really know what type of devices I would end up wanting to power. I picked up an induction cooktop for times when we don’t want to light up the

We found that we had a stack of dishes and wanted to use more of the vertical space in the cabinet, so I knocked out a dish sorter with some 6mm plywood. I’m still using some squares of drawer liner between the plates which keeps them from rattling but not sure it’s really needed.
