Sleep is a luxury I can't really afford at the moment, I manage to grab an hours kip at work most days though, so I'm getting by. 😉
Now I'm heading back out to the Franklin - still got to get a few things tidied up before the new owner orgaises transport.
Hopefully by the weekend the Viscount will be at home so that will make life easier. I think my big list of pressies I've ordered should start to roll up tomorrow too... 😊👍
Great news! The Viscount is home! 👍👍👍
Got stuck in this arvo and started getting it sorted. First order of buisness was to gut the entire plumbing system.

Then install new 12 volt pump, Mains inlet, accumulator, piping and flick mixer. All working nicely. Nothing is secured yet until I know it doesn't leak.

I won't have the new HWS until I get to Corowa so I ran a loop in where it will be going so it's all ready to slot in. Will run the gas line to the same area once the fridge is gone, I'll be using the fridge supply.

Good stuff.
Don't forget the inserts in the JG hot water lines or they pop off I was told.
Then onto the 12 volt system, which is going to be big and overkilled to the max. 5 x 95 watt solar panels running into 4 x 100Ah batteries. Was sitting there wondering where to put the batteries.
Hmmm...

It's like Viscount knew I'd need to do this 46 years ago. 😊

All other electrical equipent - like the inverter, solar charge controller, fues panel, etc will all live in a compartment above the batteries in the LHS main wardrobe. Will start on that when a few more items turn up like cable, charge controller, isolators, fuse panel.
Next on the list while waiting for those bits will be the removal of the old fridge. The new one is due to be delivered this week. Measurements show it is the same width, 30mm higher (there's plenty of rom for this) and slightly shallower in depth so I'll be able to make some really good venting work behind it.
