LPG / Gas provision

A gas box kit was sourced from DIY RV, assembled with supplied instructions and wrap was applied to the lid.

A suitable opening was made on the rear driver's side and the box was fixed in place with Sika 252.

Satellite Dish

We selected a SatKing Promax automatic satellite receiver to cater for our entertainment on the road which will allow us to arrive at our destination and be able to lock into satellite signals within a minute of the press of a button.
The signal will supply our Satking DVBS2-800CA VAST (Viewer Access Satellite Television) receiver which can receive all free to air channels and sub channels as well as any satellite pay TV services like Foxtel.
This was mounted over the forward cabin area so as to not cover or impact our solar array with the controller mounted near the TV.

Kitchen / Laundry Benchtop and Cupboards

In an effort to keep weight down, our Kitchen / Laundry cupboards and bench top unit is made of welded and riveted alloy angle section with a light weight V-Lite PVC drawer assembly on soft auto close runners located at centre with a gas burner stove above.
The right hand bay allows access to the OEM under floor vehicle battery hatch and contains some light weight shelves with the sink overhead and water filter.
The left hand bay accommodates the washing machine with a hinged benchtop for easy access.

A Pentair Everpure ADC water filter kit was added 

Flooring

We have chosen to use ReadyCork Uniclick Vita, a modern looking 14mm floating floor board made from light weight cork layers to utilise both it's natural sound and thermal insulation properties.
This was laid over a Lamilay Foil 2mm open foam cell foam with moisture barrier underlay.

Exhaust vents

A 355mm ceiling opening was reinforced with alloy box section and a Maxxair Maxxfan Plus with Thermostat control, Power Lift tilt, Rain Sensor and remote control was fitted

A pair of mushroom style alloy vents painted with matching vehicle paint have been used for the bathroom exhaust fan and the vent for the refrigerator, microwave and hot water heater cabinet. A solar powered fan will pull warm air out of the cabinet that will draw through a grille on the bottom front of the cabinet.  

An exhaust fan was added above the cooktop area for the rangehood, a Dometic CK155

Overhead cupboards

Our plan for the overhead cupboards is to use alloy bracket supports wrapped in light weight shelving and with vertical cupboard doors.

Collection of alloy T extrusion parts before being TIG welded

L brackets after TIG welding and drilling for mounting holes

L brackets held by top cross bolt attachment

L brackets secured with both top and side attachment

Bolted into a pair of Rivnuts inserted in the side of chassis inner skin

Cupboards dividers fitted to prevent contents moving too much under heavy braking or acceleration! 

Custom sized overhead cupboard panels and doors were sourced from Standfast Kitchen Kits and are made of Laminex's light weight 16mm  V-Lite Foamed PVC panels to minimise overall weight but particularly near the bus' ceiling to keep the centre of gravity down and minimise any handling compromises a top heavy bus would otherwise display.
