Re: Sunnivagon
Quick Q - will the gas bottle slide to the right to go deeper into the cupboard? Not a problem if it won't it's just that is where our wee loo is stashed. We can make other arrangements for it if needed

On my autohomes both wouldn't fit, I fitted a external gas tank to enable the potty to slide inmetalmick8y wrote:thought you had a china potty that hung from a bespoke hook,will see if it can be shifted side ways,dont see why not

Re: Sunnivagon
hmm, i will measure with both the 907 and the calors and see what we end up with ,but agree that a sepperate underslung is the way to go especially if your away in winter and need plenty gas

Re: Sunnivagon
From memory.. The little teeny bottle fits if wedged at a angle but even then the potty would be squashed against it. The other option for me was (other than the external tank, as some people might not want to pay the money for one) is to fit the bottle in the bottom of the rear wardrobe (it's pretty much dead space) and drill a hole for the gas pipe into the the cupboard it was in.

Re: Sunnivagon
nope cos its not going back in that cuboard, cyclinder has to be on the left, as the floor is higher on the right, due to a drop out fitting under the ply.
re routed the propex supply so its out the way but got a bit fearfull in here

a few crimped spades came away in my mit so soldered a few back on but if this is original???
new fridge vent fitted now all access is not required anymore , have applied sealing mastic strips to the rear so hopefully water wont sit there and start rust again

and the lower one cut into the new panal

Re: Sunnivagon
Not sure about the zigg being original - maybe another Komet owner may know. No worries about the throne, am sure we'll find somewhere else to stow it.

Re: Sunnivagon
ta jeff, yours is a slightly different upper console, but a copy of the wiring for this one would be a good addition to the wiki if it isnt already there,

gonna come spy your van when i get a bit of time.
