I've gone and done it.

Hmmm.....

Put a frozen chook with vegies in a pan on the kitchen table in the morning. It'll be done by dinner.

The glass doesn't appear structural and I'm sure a coach builder could convert them to top sliders but, at what cost? Also opening windows lower the security level (when I'm in Victoria ;-)) .

In my mind, this is a major issue if you want to free camp, otherwise you need to have lots of power "on tap" all the time. $$$$
Ours had the small opening sliding windows, which IMO was "just" acceptable, fans could then at least circulate the air, draw in fresh, push out/exhaust stale. We have a gen that could run whilst the bus was on the move or stopped, it had a super long exhaust which quietened it down somewhat.
As far as the windows go, there's no reason why you couldn't make several of them open, just need to create a frame with which to do it in order for them to push outwards.

Stopped in at an overnite rest spot for a look see on the way back from Exmouth a few months back.
There was an old Bedford bus converted to a camper.It had a bloody noisy old fashioned 3kva generator on the rear bumper screaming away,just above it an old style wall mount aircon.
I thought you got lynched these days if you started up one of those gensets in a campground.

humm,, double post even

Bugga, major design flaw with the kitchen bench.:mad:
I have constructed the back supports 75 mm too far back, I failed to take into account the air con ducting on the floor. I think I can save it by mitreing (?) and reinforcing with MDF.
Most annoying.

Not confident about cooking chook like that Mick, but a three hour egg would certainly be ready by 14:00. :D

Well, if you don't like chook, maybe gourmet pizza?

Tasty.

Or some lamb, perhaps.

I'm going with a 7kva Honda.. As Gav said to me a while back, 'that won't power a small house, it'll power a big one'! Going with a petrol Honda as its super quiet. It'll live in the truck, but now has a hook up point in the workshop which will run the whole property. You could have it in one of the low lockers on the right hand side.. Small ramp and wheel it out when you want to use it.. :)

I've just realised that we have a couple of el-cheapo, square fans in the house. They're light and narrow in profile. I reckon I could fit them into the roof hatches, one sucking, the other blowing.
I wonder if she'd miss them. :angel:
