Nice build, quite different than what I have going on but I have quite different needs. I do mostly weekend trips, longest maybe one week. I also don't plan to make so much food by myself. Diesel heater is definitely something I need as I live in cold country (Finland). Biggest difference is that all my constructions must be easy to remove. My Sprinter is registered as a cargo truck (very low taxes compared to van) so it must be able to carry cargo. All, the bed and the kitchen, are fixed with load lashing lines, no bolts allowed. By the way, you should have 12 V TV, using inverter is not efficient, the high voltage is slowed down inside the TV again.

@davelewis560 3 года назад

Hi Mel, the safety device on the gas burner hob is called a "Thermocouple", each burner has one, when the user turns on the gas knob and ignites the gas on the the said burner its flame touches its own dedicated Thermocouple, the Thermocouple then starts “getting a bit active” and produces and also sends a small DC voltage (produced by the flame) down to the main gas valve that then opens due to a small electro DC magnet that's built into the main gas valve and allows the main gas to pass through the valve, this small magnet keeps the main gas valve open all the time a flame is detected, if the flame is extinguished accidentally, no DC voltage is produced so the main gas valve will close because the electro magnet is de-energised, the main gas valve will not stay open again until the user depresses the burner knob again and ignites the flame ..... Simples.....

@alanmay1945 3 года назад

Hi Mel, another great video, you're marvelous with this, you're original way of thinking and doing things, and so 'real world' approach sets you apart from and way ahead of all the others, even Greg Virgoe, who surely is king of this, but to achieve his results you need to have a superbly fitted workshop full of expensive machinery and spend a fortune, no expense spared, on equipment, ie the Truma boiler vs your shower heater and so on. You explain things and present yourself very nicely too. On your cooktop hob, you say it's a home one so the gas jets need altering for lpg, how do you go about changing the gas jets? Looking forward to your next video, always a joy, best wishes, Alan in Norfolk.

@simonsimpson4695 3 года назад

Mel, I'm getting towards starting our kitchen area and I was thinking if using those cheap plastic drawer systems which can be brought for under £20. The good thing is they are very light, strong and should anything spill they are completely waterproof. Im thinking I should be able to fit 2 lots under our work top, then use your panel doors idea to hide the drawers. I'm not really up to the carpentry of making my own drawers. Despite your video making it look easy mine would probably be out of true or the wrong size etc so I think those drawer units would be perfect and very cheap into the bargain. One of the many issues I came up against was making things true in the van where there are no straight lines etc and nothing to follow that's level etc. It would be interesting to see how you deal with that. I have to admit my things are a bit off. They are very rigid and strong but not quite true.

Big Thumbs up from us :-) Wheres the proper Mel? you know the handsome one that wears glasses :-) , question i purchased the same stove as yours when i watched your video of installing it, but didnt realise you have to change jets? so my question for the Mel in other video with glasses is what size jet/s would i need? Cheers Mel Clone.

Haha if you got your stove from the same place as mine it will have the jets fitted you will find a small bag with the domestic jets in the box 👍👍

Great van tour Mel... but I think there must be something wrong with your mirror if it can make you look "pretty"... I think "brutally handsome" might be more appropriate...

Oh thank you you’re just too kind 👍😊👍🍻

You missed that little orange step outside? Getting out of your van out at night? Where do store it on the road!

@BigVanSmallWorld 3 года назад

It folds up and hangs on the wall 👍

Hey Mel, what size are your solar panels mate? Seem a perfect fit (lxw) is that also a unistrut roof rack ? I’ve been designing one from ally but unistrut whilst heavier is much more simple to build Cheers bud Ant
