About time! ;)
Yes we want all the "specifics" of the complete build,try not to leave anything out,nice of you to ask btw ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Oooooh thats the tank is it? nice :)
If we wanted all the details :)About time! ;)

ask what chap?
Nice welding. Dare one ask how much that tank cost? And who it was that did it?
I don't need anything made at the moment, but its nice to know of someone local(ish) that can weld to that standard, for a reasonable price. Theres one place in Hay on Wye, but they are always super busy, cheap enough, but I doubt they would do something like that for that price. Its not quite what they do.
I'll bare them in mind if I need something. Cheers.
Love the cable ties that match your paint, now that's what I call attention to detail.

That is excellent work Paul :)
18 inches, by 20 inches, by 9 and a half inches?
I work the maximum capacity out to be 58.2 litres, but thats leaving off the numbers behind the decimal, which would account for some of the discrepancy.
It is a surprising capacity for the physical size of the tank, when you compare it to the size of a 25L drum.
hi all
i wanted to work out my new tank size in ltrs, and found this site, looks really good also does cylindracal et etc...
http://www.regaltanks.co.uk/calculator/
and it even does liquid amount hieght to get ltrs spot on!
says that small tank is 56 ltrs (fricken hell :) )
theres an app on that site for IPHONE people 8) also andriod and windows
just installed andriod free app friggin awesome bit of kit...
HI
Why not just put a portable grey water waste container under the sink as long as its the same water content as the fresh water tank it will never overflow.This way no holes and just carry to water point to empty.Are you not putting seating in the van as you could make small box to contain gas bottle just fit a small calor one but remember to vent the floor in the box as gas is heavier than air it will fall to the floor
Tidy job, looking good.
I know who Peewee Herman was, and Ronald Mcdonald, but who the heck is TarQuin LaMont? :P
I don't think you would need to pump the tank water through the HE. Convection would take it round. What I would be concerned about is bacteria buildup in the water. It will be at exactly the right temperature for harmful bacteria to multiply, and not get hot enough to kill them.
Thats true.
I can't see why convection shouldn't work. Keep the HE low, and have a short run of pipe, so its pushing it back into the top of the tank, rather than the hot water having to suck cold into the HE, if you see what I mean. I would have thought its bound to work. You could rig something up to test it, but its hardly worth it. If it fails, just plumb a small electric pump in.
Thats getting complicated ;D
ever heard of a thermos flask?
I see what you mean.
Keep the screen wash pump, to circulate the water, but why not have the outlet and the inlet of the water tank right at the bottom? The hot water returning to the water tank will instantly rise to the top, and the cooler water stay at the bottom. You could do away with the solenoid valve then.
Your not heating a huge amount of water. I would have thought it will heat fairly quickly, just by heat transfer.
Or..... why not make up like a grid, out of a few strips of copper pipe, inlet and outlet coming out of the tank, and send the engine coolant around it, controlling it with a solenoid valve.
Well thats mighty handy. Is there something already fitted to control the flow in the pipes, or was it in the heater unit?
Its simple to plumb an HE in, in that case, and go with what you've got in the pic. At least with the HE, you haven't got the issue of pressure in the hater tank heating circuit.
could this REALLY? be puished through a hole in a tank with no need to enter into tank? looks odd

and what is the wire for?

It may have come out of a camper but it was probably only for cold water storage.
If it is HDPE it may have a max temp written on it.
Of course, post it up Skype or email it (email addy on the forum) and I'll see what I can do.
Busy next few days so don't hold your breath.
Lookin good
Im trying to enlarge the pics to see what you liberated from work ;D
Yes your in tomorrow
60 notes is an amazing bargain for that tank of yours. You did well with that.
Ive posted it on the VOD,i look forward to being told they can be got cheaper!
You should build your controller to sell

Looking good Paul, how much is left to do?
Dick
Looks nice, get a bed in there and it could be a shag waggon hahaha
Surely some one as sophisticated as you would go for a futon! ;D
So then it would be a preloved on a futon? btw where did you get that butt ugly avatar from?
Words fail me :)
You'll be sitting in mc Donald's car park next ;D
Good light with them. Gotta be better than a fluorescent.
Any new pics of the build RM? :)
Nice pussy!
Well you've done your homework on the way that bed folds up. What is the black box in the right hand corner, coming up through the bed?Mains charger for a vibrator?

The thing with PLS on it, and some pipes coming out the back?
Sorry, I must be going puddled. Even when you put "as above", I still had to look three times before I saw your post......................
Got it now.
Looks more and more like a Disco with each set of pictures.
I'd be concerned that the wheel is going to bounce around and buckle the door. Can you get a piece of ply wood to distribute the load on the inside of the door? Nice idea though. Tidy.
also i pulled the BOXER sign off the door from underneath the wheel and im going to fit it on the other door under the PEUGEOT sign

"theres 2 metal plates inside the door to stiffen it all up..."
Missed that. No flys on you, but you can see where they've been.......... ;D

I was impressed up to the point of noticing the smiley.
Tidy, looks very professional conversion with the carpet on it. What sort of carpet are you using? What are you sticking it on with?
Better fit than some shite ive seen ;)
I think those 6 "other things" are inferred lights, so you can see in the dark.

Looking forward to seeing it mate.
