Preliminary work included getting the wash bassin area organised + drill a hole for the water drain.
Next task was to prepare a double board (2 x 7mm) that will be a separating wall
between future shower and living areas
Notice the bottle jack under the middle of motorcycle
to put weight on the middle part of panels
Next job is to glue this double pannel to the cabin
Next step was to prepare water and electrical chanels
Glue and screw down anchor points for the 3 water tanks
Each tank will be fastened-down to the floor by 2 straps
70 liters x 3, total capacity = 210 liters
2/ Electricity - Water - Heating
On the left hand side, under a cupboard there is a space where I wanted to fit:
- 2 Optima batteries (that will power all my cabin accessories)
- 1 Moveable, sealed box that will house my electric water pump
- 1 Heat exchanger that will heat the cabin (it will be plumbed into the engine cooling system)
So I made one subframe to house all these componants. If needed for maintenance, that subframe can be removed from its resting position.
Checking that all components will fit in allocated space
Building first part: housing for removable plastic drawer which will hold water pump
(the grey box on top is "weight", while glue is setting).
All done: heat exchanger with fan is positionned on top of drawer
Making sure that all will fit!
Drilled many holes through floor of cabin: water pipe and electrical cables to go under floor
Looking good
Detail of rear set-up (subframe can slide out).
All done, perfect!
NB - The batteries' clamps are not yet made.
