Camper Conversion Mk2

A.K.A “Camper Conversion Mk2: Electric BoogaPortaloo”

Sorry.

After building Mk1 and going to Switzerland, we came back with a laundry list of things to change, improve, sort out, finish off…

Things we didn't quite finish

• Toilet door was a shower curtain
• Kitchen tap was not plumbed in (most camp sites have facilities anyway)
• Roof vents were blanked off
• Night heater was un-tested

Things we decided needed to change

• The f*$%#ing futon we bought to act as the seat & mattress was just hateful - it was uncomfortable, weighed as much as the moon, and moving it was like trying to pick up a sleeping cat sedated hippo dipped in grease.
• The bed itself worked well but was a bit of a faff to put up & take down, and after staggering back from the pub in the cold it wasn't a welcome chore.
• We needed to get the night-heater working, it can get chilly in the night in Switzerland
• Gas bottle needed to go outside
• The 3-way fridge was a failure
• Some sort of mains-hookup might be good
• Rear step was a bit of a pain

1. Night Heater (Eberspacher / Webasto) replaced.
2. Rear Step
3. Bathroom Door
4. New Bed - a LOT of work went into a greatly improved pull-out pop-up not-rock-and-roll bed.
5. Overhead Kitchen Cupboard
6. Removing old wiring
7. Better Battery Cradle
8. LED Interior Light conversion
9. Roof vents
10. New tap and plumbing
11. Cheap ebay stereo
12. Very posh Waeco fridge
13. Solar panels
14. Control panel
15. Gas bottle relocation

I haven't finished writing this all up yet (and, indeed, some of it's not yet finished) but this came out so well I thought I'd post a picture up:

• Bathroom Light
• Cubby Box
• Wolf Rims
• and whatever else I've forgotten
