Was a bit dismissive of the extra door seals when i saw them on another vid somewhere. Just did the uograde and they make a big difference. Dont care about the shutting noise but much less noise leaking into the cabin. Also makes an even bigger difference replacing old main door seals on older vans.

Hi I watched your video about installing the 10ltr hot water cylinder and being a heating engineer myself and planning to undertake a van build I wanted to know your thoughts on having two of those cylinders and fitting them in series hence 20ltrs of hot water!?!?, plus they do a 12v version I see.

Yeah that’s no problem at all. Although they do a 20 litre cylinder. So you will be paying twice. Benefit is. If you had them on delegate switches. You could choose to only heat 10 👍🏻
