    Thanks Steve, I'll have a long look at that option. I appeals to my 'good use of dead space' gene :)

    You're welcome to look at my set up in Clem at some point too (under rear seat, plumbed in from the gas cupboard next door, one cylinder going to a 4 tap bar for the propex, hob, oven, and fridge.) Good amount of space left under the seat too.

    Propex is a chunkier beast than the Eber but where there's a will...
    I fitted a propex under somebody's front seat once, that was tight but another good use of dead space.

    I started to look for alternatives when we used to carry around a big frame awning under the seat that stayed there all year round and a heater in there would have scuppered that. By the time I actually got one we weren't camping with an awning any longer. :rolleyes: There are no end of possibilities though: RR bed, side cupboards, under the van, wheel well, under front seat, between front seats... RR bed one is the most straightforward and obvious place to put them though.

    It is but the exhaust fires clear of the van and the intake is up in the rear corner.

    I’m popping down for an overnighter on Saturday. Just me and 1 small furry hound. Is the bar hound friendly? I don’t mind either way :thumbsup:

    I'm not sure if the bar will be open, but I'd be happy to buy /provide you with a drink in thanks for your part in my Propex TLB currier favour earlier this year :):burp:

    Sounds good Chris :thumbsup:
     
  11. ARRGH!!! I'm gonna miss out again! I think I've found my problem, I have an intake valve stuck open on number 2 cylinder so looks like I'll be dropping the engine out for a rebuild this weekend instead.
    This is a first for me so beware lots of daft novice questions on Mech Tech.
    Have fun everyone, hopefully see you at the next one.

    Dylan was welcomed in the bar back in May (and largely behaved himself!) so you should be fine
    Will be good to see you :)

    Afternoon all,
    Eddie is selling off a load of bits from a table in the barn. Anyone else is welcome to a table if they want one.
    Cheers
