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.


"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

see the plates?

I'd posted about the plates before I saw the update in the thread.

hi all

well been doing abit more over the weekend, managed to fit me new TRUMA water store heater, what a learning curve that was, wouldnt fancy fitting another, a hell of alot goes into one, gas/water/12volt/fitting/alignment, but got there in the end, do like a challenge hehehe, also i fitted my new mixer taps, love these its all double o-ringed so the spout moves both ways unfixed, bang tidy, and got all fittings and pipes under the box cover (nothing hidden!), also managed to utilize the free heat given off well cooking up, going to use this heat to take the chill off the van when sleeping...  just waiting on the 2x vent covers to go over the holes  8)

heres some pics - enjoy....

Tidy, looks very professional conversion with the carpet on it. What sort of carpet are you using? What are you sticking it on with?

not sure what its called GM, it came free from next door, small peace i cut up, i used carpet spray glue, the box stuff doeant quite match the sides of the van, but hey it was free...

just took delivery of my fiamma levelling ramps and slip mats today, waiting on a table leg tube to turn up with top and bottom mounts...
