A really super nice build. And properly functional. I’ve seen so many ‘cutesy camper’ designs which seem to prefer form over function. One thing I would recommend for both hot and cold climates is a thermal silver screen for the front window area. Keeps the heat out in summer as the van slowly turns into a greenhouse the further south you drive. Ditto for side windows. It’s amazing how much of a thermal bridge just the window frames can be. They turn into mini radiators in the sun. I’ll have to re-watch your initial build video as I’m considering going all-electric. Also, if you have space, a folding ebike is amazing for exploring an area.

I converted my Vivaro a while back to escape tent life (seriously, so much gas and regret), but I've been on a mission to find a toastie maker that works on an induction hob. Enter the QPro…yes, I read the 'Does not work on induction' note on Amazon, but who believes everything on Amazon, right? And, plot twist, it DOES work! You, my friend, have single-handedly upgraded my toastie future. Weekend me is already living the dream! 🍞🔥"

That is a top build you've done there. I'm guessing your Truma heating Trauma is now fully sorted? I think I may have found you another adventure when you're back in the UK!! I found a pub in Banbury called The 3 Pigeons, made me think how many others are there? With a bit of planning you could take the Pigeon on a quest to find more Pigeons 😉
@derektaylor29412 ай бұрын
Mr Adz, can I ask how you got on with Truma and their heater, please? I am currently watching your Arctic series for the second time and how you've built your conversion is very similar to what I've had in mind- though you've given me some excellent ideas for improvements. BTW the water inlet at 3:20 I'm glad you put this inside anyway. So many people are putting these connectors on the outside, underneath, for convenience- and then driving down dirty roads with the connector for their drinking water exposed. Urgh. I'm really looking forward to your new series. If it's anything like the Norway trip (which I am hoping to do similar next year) then it's going to be a damned good watch. All the best.

I’ll be honest I have no idea. Sorry that’s not really very helpful! I’d assume it’s the smallest one. I bought so many things last year though! I may have shown it clearer in my build video that I posted in Jan. pretty sure the pizza setting only takes 8 mins and so it could easily be worked out for any size battery using the cookers wattage, and add maybe 15% for the inefficiency of the inverter
