Just had a look. I see the same thing as you, it has to be said their website isn’t the best. When I bought it I emailed and then worked it out via their WhatsApp customer service. I can see some links on eBay and other sites if that’s useful?

No problem at all. Great question, the outdoor fan is definitely louder than the indoor unit. You probably wouldn’t want to run it all night next to someone in a tent, but it’s not hugely noisy. Will see how it is with a basic DB Meter on my phone when I’ve a chance. Absolutely. If you knew someone that could make up hoses, or crimp on new ends that could work and you’d need less refrigerant.

@WanderbusAdventures thanks for the reply. We managed to park up next to someone a few weeks ago (Karen🤣) who moaned about us running a small 12V fan overnight. It was 40C😏🤣

Thanks mate. Have strongly considered it for the house in the past too to be fair 🥵

Hey. Great question. On paper ours is 10,000 BTU. Thanks so much, so far so good. Safe travels to you too 🚐🚐🚐

@@WanderbusAdventures thank you guys 👍 nice to see one of these fitted on a UK vlog.. 😊 We have an ancient secondhand Truma Frostair fitted now as we're heading to Bulgaria, but haven't used it yet, partly because I'm not sure where to route the vent pipes.. One REALLY hot day, I'll be sweating under the garage trying to sort that, I reckon..lolol 🤷🏻‍♂️😂🤣😂 take care 🙏💜

@@LillaHusVanlife ah no worries. Glad it’s been of use. Ah no way, hope you have a great time in Bulgaria. It’s one of the places we’d love to go too 🇧🇬🚐🚐

@@WanderbusAdventures if you're ever there, give us a shout..we've bought a place and are going to be doing it up on the channel in between further travels 😉👍 just waiting our Visa D's.. 😁💜

@@LillaHusVanlife ah how amazing. Will keep an eye out for that. Brilliant stuff.

Ah brilliant. See how you get on in the summer?

Thanks Don. Appreciate it 😊

That’s a great tip. Will give that a go. And that totally makes sense re. The stored and radiant heat. I think the key for our bus will be to keep the blinds up if we are somewhere very hot and stationary to try and combat this. With the widows it does store the heat a lot. Great advice. Thanks.

@@WanderbusAdventures 😎

So far so good. There are potential things I’d do differently next time. I might have run the cables in their own grommet perhaps. Will Share as we learn more in the travel vids. Re the hose. Yes I reckon that’s possible and I might attempt it. Same for the venting warm air to the unit. We shall test and learn 😊

Haha, kijk eens wat je daar deed. Erg koud van je 🙂

Thank you! 😊

Thanks David 🚐🚐🚐

Absolutely. We want to give it a proper test for sure.

Thanks so much. You too ☀️

Fair enough. Glad you’re pleased with it.

We’ve got full solar setup and B2B, so we can largely remain off grid. We’ve a play list here for most of the build videos for our Victron system. Victron Van Build Vids ruclips.net/p/PLnQAeR30Y1dlHW6iU6wVPwKe_j4EmUPGa

That’s a great tip. Will give it a go. Thanks Mart.

Hey. We’ve found it very good for the most part. In hotter climates it can fluctuate quite a bit in terms of temperature, but we added more ventilation behind the unit to combat this. I don’t think this is isolated to this fridge to be honest. It’s a good sized fridge too, we can fit a weeks worth of food in it no bother.

Brill, what are you driving?

You can do it 💪.

@@WanderbusAdventures hopefully better than my spelling hahaah

@@RoaminRob ha typos are sometimes harder to work out. We got it 😊

Totalmente de acuerdo, es mucho dinero. Pero, en general, una autocaravana con estas cosas sería muy cara.

Still looks pretty good to be fair. Couple of places by the back doors have a little rust but that's more on my repairs that the raptor. Overall it is holding up well. It is more difficult to wash than regular paint, but again I am hindered by the solar panels

Thanks so much Neil, she is on the mend and much better. The bruises were crazy (still has some!). That's a good point re. two boxes. We do want to use the space to house either recovery boards or perhaps our levelling ramps. Take care.

Hey Jan. Cool. Thanks for letting us know. I reckon we could focus on the bonnet for this later in the year.

Thanks for your thoughts on this and for watching.

Thanks so much. Really enjoyed this project. We are leaning that way too now they’re on, they’re growing on us.

Agree. In fairness it has been solid as a rock, but I did find it weird. They may have changed this on the latest model.

Ah wat geweldig, over een paar weken zijn we hopelijk voorbij. Fijne reis jongens.

Could you also tell me the dimensions and thickness of the spreader plate that Roy supplied with the wheel carrier? After making my own I’m not sure if I used a big enough plate. The door skin is crowned so I didn’t want to go too big in case it deformed the door skin when I tightened it.

That’s a great eye and yes it’s on the wink. I can’t quite figure out how it comes off, but will have to change it around. Ironically it’s more accessible this way but you run the risk of walking into it. Ha, same here most of the time re. The air con. Hot one today mind!

@fergusmoloney oh, well it’s the same size as the mounting face of the bracket itself if that’s of help?

Ah thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it. Pleased with that assessment 😂

Thanks mate. Appreciate it. Can’t believe how long it took but made great progress yesterday to bring it together. Horizontal is looking fave at the moment. Thanks again mate.

Thanks Donny. You’re a handy chap, fair play. Thanks mate I think you’re on to something. Take care

Thanks Ian. Yeah they do look alright in Ali - my worry is powder coat might scratch. Hadn’t considered lacquer, will look into it. Thanks as always matey. Hope you’re having a good weekend and enjoying the sunshine.

This seems to be the popular vote at the mo.

Thank you. Was some great teamwork for sure. Luke is a good egg.

Thanks mate. Always up for the challenge 💪. One of us thinks one way, one the other - so will add this vote to the pile 😊

@@WanderbusAdventures if you have it up n down and want something from the bottom, pain in the ass plus less height to climb.

Thanks Stu, counting down the days until the summer hols. Hopefully in time for some better weather 😊. Take care and stay safe too

Ah brilliant, thanks Pete. Let's see if others agree - but we do have a better bonnet that'll need painting at some point and Luke always has a project on. Plus his new booth is almost ready. Could be a goer. Thanks so much, appreciate it. This one has been a lot of work 😊

Ah amazing, thanks so much for watching. We reckon to get to this stage it's around 25k ish. But since have done quite a bit more. Thankfully we spread this out over time, doing bits here and there. You're right about the hab door, they do ask for that. I am not actually sure, our V5C is registered as a PHGV. Maybe we will attempt to get it changed one day. Thankfully come MOT time it is tested as seen. Hope this helps, and good luck with your conversion - is it a Vario too?

@@WanderbusAdventures Thanks and it is a Vario, a slightly smaller 17 seater 613D... it was a mare to insure, I thought go compare, but no...the weight, engine size and classification of use... agh. I'll get there though in time. Keep up your good work with yours though👍

Ah brilliant, thanks so much. It was a great weekend for sure, do you have anything like this in Florida?

Thank you 😊

Ahh thanks so much. Ha this is true (worryingly) on both counts 😂 🐮

@@WanderbusAdventures 🤣🤣

Thanks guys, it was a great weekend.

Thanks Stu, glad you enjoyed the vlog - appreciate your lovely comment. We hope you have a fab week x

Oh wow, that sounds like a mega place. And we have still yet to visit Tenby so could be a double bonus on that. Thanks mate. Yeah the ladder seems ace, if not a bit Marie Antoinette as you say

@@WanderbusAdventures We’ve been to Folly Farm as a day out a few times but not stayed there. Family have and loved it. Could always use it as your base and drive into Tenby/surrounding areas too.

@ian_morg sounds like a good plan

That’s a good point regarding the security. We are toying with outside storage of the ladder, but considering this think it’s better off inside. Like the idea of a storage box, keep watching we have one to share in future vid when we finally get the new doors fitted.
