Heater Ordered

Searching today on Ebay and there was a supplier selling the Propex at £422 and I also got an email from Ebay saying quad Nectar points for one day only, 
So I don't think it's going to get any cheaper than that so I have ordered it. He only had 3 for sale and all 3 have gone in the day. And a couple of hours later I got an email saying 'despatched' although on a Bank Holiday afternoon that means the carriers have been informed that it is ready for collecting.

I also ordered 5 metres of 8mm copper pipe from a different supplier on Ebay so as soon as the weather is better I should be good for fitting it.

Another thing ordered from ebay was the waterproof cable gland for fitting the reversing camera.

Further updates as and when they are fitted.

Two New Projects

Christmas day, going to my son's for Christmas Dinner very soon. Just a short update post and to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy Prosperous New Year.

2 new projects planned for the van, it was my birthdays a couple of weeks ago and one of the presents I got was a reversing camera, so that will be fitted as soon as we get a dry day, I also need to get some more Sikaflex first.

The second project is to fit a Propex lpg heater, expensive but unfortunately needed in this Country. A few weeks ago they were £387 on Ebay but now the cheapest is £427, I should have got one when they were cheaper but no rush, hopefully someone might sell one a bit cheaper.

I already bought the 3 way gas manifold as I will have to make some adjustment to the gas pipe layout and the manifold I have is only 2 way, one to the hob and the other to the water heater.

I may also make some adjustments at the back of the van, making some storage in-between the toilet and the gas bottle storage, the only thing is it will block the access to the back door, so I am not sure yet about this, just on the safety aspect of having only one access point.

Some more posts soon I hope on fitting the camera and heater.
