I bought one of these recently and I notice that the compressor kicks in about every 10 minutes. Just wondering if yours is the same or was I sold a dud. Also, when it's used as fridge only, how do you switch off the freezer? DOC
in my compressor switch on also quite often but definitely not every 10 minutes (?) its a common in these "special camper fridges" (also these much more expensive) just lack of insulation (definitely too thin insulation) BTW what you have on display ? switch fridge/freezer- kind of misunderstood from your side - no offence this kind of fridge (general design -nor about camper etc.) always have freezen compartment inside (like in olden days) and switching between fridge/feezer just change setting of thermostate i used as a fridge only take out "door" for freezer compartment and use it as a shelf ( but of course is little too cold there)
@@undergroundworkshop8278 Thanks for the quick reply. I kinda guessed that there might be an insulation issue. Mine doesn't hold it's 'coolness' for very long. That's why the compressor kicks in so much. Thanks again for your help.
Do mot get one of these. They drain batteries, only any good for hook up..I had an 83l of same brand and it drained 2 batteries in one evening without any other power on..buy cheap buy twice..
fridge has fuse(and fuse holder ) itself but its located close to the back of fridge -means in case of anything you have to pullout fridge to replace fuse :-/ two options first remove fuse holder at all 2nd I place much bigger fuse into fuse holder and connect to common fuse holder ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ont7VRu_t_Q.html
I think there is something not taken into consideration here. The adhesive used between the plies adds considerable weight to the plywood. If you look at two pieces of plywood of the same thickness, one constructed of more plies will be heavier, stronger, and more stable. The plywood made with more plies is also typically of higher quality, with less voids in the interior plies. So, when using plywood to build a campervan, you can sometimes get a lighter overall result from using a thinner yet heavier and stronger plywood. More than anything, the construction method can affect the results. For instance, use of a laminate of 5 mm sheets with 3/4-inch XPS foam between them and epoxied 6 ounce per yard fiberglass cloth between the wood and the foam will produce a panel slightly thicker than 3/4-inch plywood that is less than 2/3 the weight of the 3/4-inch plywood, yet much stronger. For large vertical pieces, a half inch thick piece with 5 or more plies can often be substituted for a 3/4-inch-thick piece with 5 plies without losing any significant structural integrity while losing a little bit of weight. Also, when joining two sheets of plywood at right angles, a finger (or box) joint is very strong and avoids the need for a piece of wood along the inside of the corner for reinforcement. That of course is a tradeoff between construction time and weight reduction (plus the cost of additional tooling to make those joints).
Great video that mate. There’s always more value in a message that strives to teach and improve, than one which just tries to look smart and photographical
hard to say easiest way -unclip remis and check if holes not colide with t pocket for blind, 2nd problem can be with bigger space between chassis and plastic
From Canada: I imported Tambour Doors from UK for ma caravan build project, those pre-made straight tracks and corners are designed for 90 degree movement, in my case I needed some kind of elliptic shape so I had to have a plastic track CNC machined to achieve the final result I wanted. For your project, I am wondering if it could be better to groove the plywood walls using a router, following a template you could fabricate.
to tell the truth i dont remember right know , but more then you can expect - if we talk about 24h usage- it was something like 30 (?)Ah for 24 hours in modest temperature , probably I mention it in video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qNjOD4xBINk.html just insulation are thin like in all camper fridges
There is an offset/calibration on both Victron and hall sensor. You need to use a good current clamp and measure the actual current and adapt the calibration till it fits.
will be much easier if i not change project during build , on begining it should be with eberspacher hydronic system then i bought cheaper (truma become cheaper this year) truma diesel and i have make some changes in wiring
hi thanks :-) lot of practice but to tell the truth is not complicated if somebody explain how to do it and give few tips on first time . Its a veltrim non stretch carpet. From one side is harder to operate but from second , veltrim forgive more mistakes then 3d stretch. For me veltrim is better
I was using aluminized foam without the adhesive back. I expected the pre-spraying both the wheel well and foam would require me to work fast and likely end up with stuff stuck where I didn’t want it. And so I cut a section that would cover the entire flat part and glued it down. Then I decided on the proper width for the next piece, folded it up and cut and then sprayed the wheel well in that area only, along with the foam piece and glued it down. It turned out rather well. Although I have more joint lines, each joint has been carefully cut to match the next piece and the width was adjusted to make it the ideal width so it didn’t bulge once glued into place. I would never have though of this idea so thanks for the clip!!
Your voice would be much easier to hear if you turned off the radio in the background. I’m assuming that it’s a radio because who would be silly enough to play music in the background if you’re going to give verbal instructions?
i have just bought one of these fridges, and will be installing it this weekend in my old transporter van, hopefully all goes well, but i am going to renew the wires from the back of the fridge to the supply where my fuse will be located as i dont want to have to remove fridge if the fuse blows for some reason.
Hi :) Thank you for the video. I'm looking into getting this fridge for our van renovation and this is the only review I could find! Can I ask you how noisy it is once installed?
