Please consider the safety implications when undertaking this. Most mains domestic fridges use earth bonding for safety. To see is your fridge is earth bonded perform a continuity check between the earth pin on the plug and external metal chassis. Earth bonding means the metal parts are connected to the planet Earth (in a domestic setting this is a buried 1 m long copper rod). Your campervan is isolated from Earth by the tyres. Although your inverter has a three pin socket, the earth pin is probably not connected to anything - the 'Live' and 'Neutral' outputs are typically floating and interchangeable (in a domestic setting the Neutral is also remotely earthed). All this means that if you get a single fault mode occurrence, one of the floating wires could connect to the exposed metal components with difficult to predict and possibly hazardous results.

Good quality hand wipes are perfect for removing the sika

Only issue i can see is the power cycling of the fridge

Thank you so much for this. Just what we need!

i like mine with marmalade toast !! but that looks great

Who are these others who have videos?

I'm planning to use this exact setup. I have 3 90ah agm batteries and a 200w panel. Do I need a pure sine wave inverter?

This is very interesting. Thank you! 🌻

England lost to America over 200 years ago. Your shower tubs will always remain cracked

Hi didn’t hear the name of it to order from eBay. Can you please tell me what it’s called

Some inverters have the standby feature and can be set to kick in at a set wattage draw. I can think of the Go Power inverters

Ive installed one of these, wired it up so that the camera is permanently on.

Hi mate. Hope you're well. Ive just stumbled across your video. Im looking to do this exact thing to my van. Im still building it just now. See on the relay what cables go into what positions as its a 4 pin relay you're using. Thanks

Absolutely brilliant well done and thank you for the video

Someone asked about running other devices from the inverter so can you switch it on for those. I chose to run the fridge from a dedicated inverter sized just enough to run it comfortably - 110 litre Beko TSE 1284. Victron Phoenix 500VA did run it, but went into overload for 20 seconds when the compressor stars. So changed to the 800va version and that runs it fine. Inverter fan only comes on for a second when the compressor starts. I’d also came up with the hinge pivot point pin solution to door lock. Lovely solution. If you put the pin in with the door ajar then tie the pin back to the bench it will hold the door ajar for winter storage. I also put in expanding rods at the back to hold the glass shelves in place and same at the front to keep stuff on shelves. I installed mine in a Hymer when the 3way died so used the original wall vents and extra vent fans I had for that. Works fine with proper fridge & freezer temps of 4 & -18 or lower even in temps up to 40 in the van. I have a second smaller inverter for any other stuff. I think 240 volt (or 110V in the US) is the best and cheapest option, but people love to try to pick holes in it. ‘Inverter will kill your battery (rubbish). ‘Fridge won’t handle the movement’ (rubbish). ‘Too noisy’ (not silent, but very quiet). It’s by far the cheapest option even if you opt for quality components.

So glad I found this!! I was looking for a cheap solution until I get an LED light gutter fitted

We disconnected our engine warning light 😂 Problem solved 👌

Thanks for this video. I've just completed an almost identical mod for our Thetford C400.

Great outside the box thinking! Like others, I'd like to see how the thermostat connections work! Thanks and cheers!

Would you not just be better bonding them on I have a 22 plate looking to do the front

Nice video, i have got a question for you, how’s the silent pump doing? I mean, does it still works as intented, do you still use it? The thing cost more than the heater itself, thanks, i’ll help you to get to the 1000 subs with my sub

Brilliant Keith. Thanks for sharing. Deffo is a major problem with these trays. Id agree that it def looks like delam👍

It looks really good finish. Did you squirt anything underneath first to take away the flexing? Would it be more durable with a couple of coats on it? 👍🏼

Good job I did mine a year ago still looking good

A cracking job (no pun intended). Thanks for posting 👍

Wish you'd send this to the manufacturers as they say they have received zero complaints regarding cracked shower trays !

Personally, I think this is genius buddy. Seals and adds extra grip. Perfect. Only one thing, your video title needs work hahaha. 😉 😜

Great idea. I think the massive benefit of this would be the fact that it doesn't need to come out. Which would be a nightmare. Lots of cracked shower trays out there. We'll done and thanks for sharing. J

Great video 🎉 is 13mm bar m12?

Great job 👍 My van is a Swift Ducati 2001 I'll have to take a look and see what fits.

Every bit helps 👍

Hi CVK. I hope to pick yor brains a tad! I'm just down the road in N Shields and am about to begin my first conversion, it's a 2018 L3H2 Boxer and my wife and I are set on having a fixed queen bed at the rear. The obvious problem with that is space. There's plenty of video out there covering lifting beds and I went ahead and bought 4x 12v DC linear activators but I can't find explicit info on how to synchronise their speed anywhere. I don't even know if regulating them is necessary but if it is then what would I type into the search engine? I'm aware your fantastic Black Van doesn't use this complicated (over complicated?) feature but I'm hoping some of your van friends may have done so and could perhaps help. Much appreciated mate, an avid and very impressed follower.

Another great video. Thanks for the info.

simple, effective... good job... We are getting the same system in a build soon, where does there clear pipe connect to? Or just towards the front of the cassette? thanks!

Hi, I was planning to do the same conversion, have you considered to get real panel to match with the arch extension? I have been checking around internet and I couldn't find much information if it could be replaced for the other model or something else is needed, top job from your side anyway!

Hi Keith my partner and I met you at vanlife Festival 2022, you mentioned the fridge hack. Can I ask how long you spend away in your van without hook up? How does this affect your battery/batteries? Thanks

What a terrific inspiration this is; thank-you. I'm unsure as to how wiring goes for the thermostat which you said was on the 12v circuit with the relay. Maybe it would be clear if I looked at the back of a fridge? Also loved the door-stop boy idea. I can see me doing this if I ever pluck up the courage to try this project.

*Promosm* 😘

Nice clever fix thanks for sharing 👍🏻

I hope people choose the product that is under review . It certainly looks well made and being of British manufacture it should be supported . It's not always about the money .

Cracking, I'll have to check them out. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Gtreat video, do you have an eBay link or the name of the rear door bracket plz, I have looked but cant find it..👍

Can these be fitted if a roof rack is already in place?

Great video and good to see you again...👍👍

Good one👍 - buses and coaches all have alternative exits for a reason.

Very good idea, most people wouldn't think about, if something goes wrong inside the camper van. And that's a very easy fix. Cheers.

Great video. Apologies if I missed it but how long is your awning, your amazon link says it was a 340 so is it 3.40m. I have a long-wheelbase Peugeot Boxer L3H2 and the Fiamma supplier recommended a 3.7 awning in length because of the bracket spacing on the roof, would you be able to advise? many thanks John W

At this stage you might have the blinds sorted? Just an idea for the back windows is to use PVC electrical trunking 25MM as runners they can conform to the bend in the doors and let the blinds slide very easy, plus you can carpet it in 4 way stretch or paint. Its very cheap also, hope this helps. Great channel and videos with very good information. Cheers.

I have a problem with fridge or inverter as there pulling 5.7 amps. Was fine but chances are it's fridge. I'm thinking about a table top freezer instead of fridge using a fridge temperature control. what do you think?

Why does the screen illumination look like it's dimming and brightening?
