The kitchen build continued….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below: I have used a higher rated light switch (rated 25 amp) for the compressor refrigerator. The light reminds me its switched on<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below:<\/strong> Space is tight but there is little I can do. I have left a gap running down the side to the door for airflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below:<\/strong> The websato compressor fridge is fitted so that the door opens to the back of the van for ease of use (it can be reversed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below: The kitchen drawer is fitted and works well. It has a nice EVO Design catch on it so it wont ever slide open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WARNING A TICKING TIME BOMB:<\/strong> At the time of fitting the Tap in the image below I didn’t know that this Tap would nearly cause very costly damage to my van. Its was advertised as Solid Brass. In fact it was very poor quality die-cast zinc. To see what happened when the temperature dropped to freezing see the column on the left (or below on a Tablet or Smart Phone<\/em>) and look for “Worst Items To Avoid<\/em><\/strong>” at the bottom of the column. Its dangerous, dont make the same mistake as I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below:<\/strong> Now to fit the solid wood top which has been made out of two sections of timber joined and bonded together in a workshop nearby, this was beyond my capabilities and well worth getting a local company to do it. They made an excellent job, really first class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have prepared the wood with Danish Oil <\/p>\n\n\n\n
