Shower & Truma 4E Luton Camper Van First Fit

[@dearliza1365]

a nice long video.. well done.. loved it

[@hetvriendelijkespook]

Finally! An update!!! Great!!! 😁

[@paulbull]

I’ve just bought a Truma 4E and I’m sure I’ve read in the instructions that you can block one vent off but it must be one at the bottom. I hope so as I’ve also bought a blanking plate for it 😃

[@janecarruthers3956]

That's what I thought too!! Done the exact same thing 🤣

[@HughTube]

Cheers for this Paul we will look into it! On my D6E I have to keep all 4 open but it is the next kw step up so could very well be a different situation! Thanks so much

[@Rockhopper1]

[@HughTube]

Cheers Richard!

[@lovelight1]

Love it, love it, looking B E A Utiful. Top job guys. X

[@HughTube]

Thank you!

[@adamwoods3092]

Hi Huge. I actually bought my Jackery on your video. I also built a small control panel also for more control. Unfortunately you will always get some negative reviews but you won me over. So thanks mate 👍🏻

[@snoman1999]

What a great video mate 👍🏽 Some really good insider tips on tying down cables on the truma etc Made what looks like a difficult job look very do-able 🚐💨👍🏽

[@HughTube]

Thanks so much Ian!

[@jamesgibb9737]

Yes to to custom electric set up vid!

[@krispinktattoostudio1916]

Love to see it

[@katcankan7129]

Yes l would like to see the custom build please. Thank Hugh 😁

[@JohnBuckmanYT]

best insulation products for a tansit connect.. also love the vids x

[@Adam_Adam_Adam_Adam]

People will hate on the jackery because they don't like change. Give it a few years and those solar generators will be standard issue. It's like when ebikes came in and everyone kicked back, now they're mainstream and fully accepted.

[@aberdeendeltaforce]

You can buy a blanking plug for the truma, you can blank one off

[@HughTube]

Hi David, cheers for that!

[@samgraham4168]

Why a gas locker and internal water tanks? There's so much chassis real estate under there it's crying out for underslung LPG and water tanks. Keep maximum interior space...

[@HughTube]

Hey Sam, much more handy to have the water tank inside, especially with a Luton due to the amount of space which means we don’t have to insulate the water tank and add heating pads which saps more energy during winter plus it means the water requires less energy to heat for shower etc. Yes an under slung tank could have been used but Ben thought that area would be much better used as a gas locker due to it being tricker to get to without it been a super deep storage bin that he felt he would just lose stuff in

[@elpacho8315]

When can we expect the next Luton video Hugh?

[@TheStan80]

im not getting notifications grrr. Totally forgot you existed. I had to do a manual search for the channel.

[@HughTube]

no problem Michael sorry the notifications aren't working! good to have you back

[@theonlywoody2shoes]

Do you need high temperature mastic or sealant behind the outside port for the Truma - what stops water ingress?

[@HughTube]

Hi Ian so if the wall is smooth and not textured it comes with a rubber gasket that provides a water tight seal. If it is textured they say to use sealant.

[@andrewgilbride7546]

Did you repeatedly open the fridge door?

[@HughTube]

Yes

[@robertprecious2614]

I noticed that you have increased the pipe size from 12mm to 1/2" what was the reason for this?

[@HughTube]

The 15mm pipe and fittings are in general a little cheaper but mainly it’s because it’s easier to use and setup. Nothing major but just a little personal preference

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Sad when posts get deleted although I suppose with my bad memory, I reposted often. sorry if i do.

[@HughTube]

Hi Remus, sorry which post was deleted? I don’t delete comments unless they are blatant spam, hate speech etc

[@dudeleboski2692]

Why the non return valve? What does it serve for?

[@bananasandcream8192]

Any weight check-in recently? Think you are maybe pushing your luck. Especially if you want to be able to drive it with a couple of passengers and a crate of beer and a change of clothes in the back

[@HughTube]

We plan to weigh over the next week so will keep you updated soon!

[@krispinktattoostudio1916]

No sikaflex? Lol

[@bntambridge]

Nice update. Any ideas about filling the walkthrough yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/foinaGl8fsd4aqs. As mentioned below, my own concern is about the weight, Lutons boxes seem to have a heavier starting weight that panel vans.

[@samgraham4168]

Sorry to bang on, but... weight... I'm gonna say closer to 5 tonnes. That mk5 Luton is about 2250 empty. Extend the box, insulate it, fill it with wood cladding and furniture and a hundred litres of water and it's going to be so far over :( I'd love to be proved wrong because you can see how much work is going into it, and for it to be undrivable will be a crying shame.

[@samgraham4168]

@@fredflintstone1428 that’s exactly it. Same with panel vans. 3500 is the max weight. So many big van conversions go over it’s unreal.

[@HughTube]

Hey Fred, yes so the total weight can not be over 3.5t without a reclassification and a further license requirement is needed (in the UK, not sure abroad). That is with everything so if you have two seats registered on the V5 then it’s the van fully laden with driver, passenger, full water tank, full gas, etc etc etc.

[@HughTube]

Hey Sam yeah we actually plan to weigh it next week so will let you know. Ben said that if it does exceed when finished he has no issue with reclassification and getting the extended license.

You need to watch some decent you tubers and get some tips
