The Point Of No Return

I had decided a week or so ago to use as much stuff out of the caravan as possible, most of the things like the cooker, sink, hob, water heater are in perfect condition there is also an inside water tank which I can make use of.
So with the electric screwdriver in hand I set about tearing it apart. The first part to come out proved the hardest as each part is joined to the next one, plus the floor and the wall; it wasn't long before the hammer came into play AND the electric saw.
 
 
First thing out was the offside bunk as I needed to get the battery charger and fuse box from under it  and of course the bed base itself. Photo shows the fuse box and charger both disconnected from several connectors in the spaghetti junction of cables.

 
I am saying that is the battery charger in the previous photo but if it is what is this box with lots more cables running into it. The wiring diagram says there is a power supply box and a relay housing. So I take it this is the relay housing, I doubt if I will be making use of that.


I had to check out the seats to see how they look, not too bad I suppose. Once the base is secured in place I can put in the leisure battery, charger etc and also the water heater. The two holes in the base are were the warm air vents were in the caravan, best way to cover these is to put the vents back in I think.

 
The water tank unearthed, I thought this would be a pain to get at, but there were only 2 screws holding the drawer unit down above it, although you do have to remove both bunk bases.
The tank is bigger than expected, but it will still be built in somewhere, possibly under the wash-basin in the bathroom.
There were more wires than expected coming from the pump, plus the sensor which flashes a warning light when the tank is getting low; on checking the wiring diagram it would seem there is a pressure switch somewhere in the system and not micro switch taps as I expected, just have to find it!! 

 
The set of drawers and fold out table which I will make use of somewhere, not sure where yet though.


The wiring diagram, a bit of a maze
