In the final stages of any project like this, I'm collecting parts then to have a fitting fest. Here's the list of parts so far:
- 5kw diesel cabin heater (arrived yesterday)
- 3 x usb power outlets
- 1 x voltmeter display
- 1 x voltage sensing relay (for split charge system)
Job list
- fit the cabin heater where the standard rear heating/aircon system was, under the floor
- I'll use the original vents to take the [recirculated] air to be heated out and the warm air back in
- attempt to take the fuel supply from the car's fuel tank
- power from the leisure/deep cycle battery under the bonnet
- there are 2 large batteries under bonnet as standard (Japanese winter pack - unnecessary in Europe)
- use the VSR to isolate one battery for running the power when the engine's off (eventually I'll fit a special leisure battery)
- leave the other battery as a dedicated starter battery
- switch the permanent live sockets at the front to the leisure battery
- install 2 x 21A circuits from the leisure battery
- one to the panel at the sliding door
- one to the very rear of the vehicle
- install a voltmeter to the sliding door panel to keep an eye on battery performance
- make the rear drawer into a cooker/stove/larder/store
- properly fix the camper boxes to the floor
- varnish all the plywood
- make insulated window blinds (and fixing system)
- remove curtains
- get the front AC fixed (pipes need to be sealed) and remove rear condenser
In between all of this I'll be able to do some test loading and see what other bits and bobs I can do to add in storage and access. And go on some test trips
