Finally I'm so excited to share my Van Tour!
This has been my home for 2020 and the perfect tiny home to escape reality and spend quality time in beautiful rural Australia

You are looking at the product of 7 months work and approximately 1000 hours labour.

you put in a lot of work. did you need the large inverter to allow for the fridge starting current?

@rupertferder6768 3 жыл бұрын
Yes exactly the compressor in the fridge does actually cause quite a spike. I actually replaced the inverter with a Projecta model (more suited to sensitive equipment like computers)

I was in Australia and the parts weren't super cheap or easy to find. Mainly due to the age of the vehicle. I'd get a mk 2 (2005 onwards) if you want to easily be able to find parts
