    Morning Each, today is all about insulation, both thermal and electrical, so should be fun. Have squeezed in a bit more editing on the 2019 road trip…this was the morning view from the accommodation in Lone Pine, California

    Have a great day yawl!🤠

    • Hi Phil, how is your van conversion going, will you be off out in it soon?

      • Hi Dave, well now that I have a clear (ish) run at it it is starting to come together … around 50-60% of the sound management and insulation iis now n and designed for extended low temperature use ( even fitting battery heaters) …. the sticking point was bed design and after loads thought and many reviews I have settled that one and as everything springs off that we can move on. Not before time as there is a huge sack of parts in the lounge at the moment that will shrink as various systems get fitted. The bonus of taking my time is that the spec is well researched so power solutions and systems are well matched to needs. it will be on a run out in a functional not finished state in march as I pop across to the Ireland, and closer to finished for a run down to the south of France for the Buzz meetup in the .Camargue.. How has yours worked out? any things you would change or respecify?

        • All OK with ours, except the rear lounge benches/bed is made of iron tubing which weighs a ton, so it’s going in to workshop in March to replace with Ali extrusion to reduce weight and make it easier for us to convert to bed at night, that and slowly upgrading 12v /solar system with Victron gear, it’s all working but not as efficiently as it could. I would not fit a shower, never used it and the plumbing and space is wasted.
