  8. How much did the compressor parts costs you? Are they quick connect/release?
     
  9. you could setup up a little shop making these - i'd love one but i dont' have the skills to do my own.

    The cool box is bolted in Im using it as a chest fridge, its an Isotherm GE80 kit, with the cool box it came in a little cheaper than a Weico cr50 although its 65 litres a bit bigger than the stand alone fridge as the guts are remote, will go down to the temperature of a freezer so if I go fishing I can get some home.

  13. I love the interior of your bus
    It looks right for the vehicle is understated and classy and also practical.
    Will you be fitting a fold out cooker on the swing out doors?

    I made the table on the door to take one of those canister gas cookers, its a 2 person thing really so you can always put it on the table as well, curtains tomorrow clean and its done

    In a scientific test I half filled the fridge and put it on so it was icy not normal fridge cold to get the beer really chilled , only on the aux battery, At regular intervals assisted by passing neighbours I reduced the amount in the fridge, also had the light and radio on periodically, considring that its red hot out and it was from a warm start I was pleased to find that the fridge stayed on continually for 50 hrs., If I was to get it v cold on the mains first and use ice packs, turn it off at night i think a long 3 day weekend on the battery is doable.

  18. I see a market in making these to sell. Might try one in a westy built in cool box.

    Did you seal the pipes into the cool box with expanding foam?
