Breakfast of champions, Jerry. Lovely set-up mate, well done.
Thanks Drover, I'll take it off this weekend as I've ordered the Mulgo gas strut and will see if there's room for a shelf. I might check the dimensions of the dual fuel stove too so I can try to minimise the shelf size.
Good work gents...always nice to see and hear so many good ideas and different solutions to our need for convenience!
Do you have a rear wiper? there is a mod to put the intermittent relay on the rear wiper, I changed my front one to the programmable one so have the old intermittent one to put in the back I plan to do it but not until I need to take the back door card off, I think there is a wire needs moved on the relay for it to work but could be a good mod if you have the back off anyway, if you have a wiper that is :)Quote:

A piece of 12mm ply covered with marine carpet, plastic hinges from a boat shop, ute cover elastic loops to hold it up when not in use and some nylon webbing.
I had to take the door card off to work out where I could place the screws so that had something other than the door card to screw into but otherwise it was straightforward.

I have a very sensitive nose. I can't work in my garage if the person across the road is smoking (about 100 metres away).Quote:

My original Bush Kettle is over 10 years old now and I'd probably buy another one if I lost it. Mind you I have an original in the plywood box with the mugs, tea/sugar/coffee containers etc. that I picked up at a trash & treasure market a while back.
It would be good to get feedback from someone who has used the Rimfire before buying ....

Here are a few pics of the 'shelf' on my Defender rear door.
I was worried about heat from the stove melting the vinyl on the door card but haven't had any problems. I use an occy strap to hold the door firmly open so it doesn't move while I'm having a brew.
It doesn't restrict access to the rear of the vehicle too much.

It folds up neatly out of the way.

Details of the mounting
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...012/06/357.jpg
12mm exterior grade ply covered with marine carpet. Plastic hinges from a boat shop, tarp ties and buttons they latch over from.....can't remember, nylon webbing from Bunnings.
Much bigger and it's in the way, any smaller and it's probably not much use.
