great job and has given my some good ideas as im just in the middle of my electric s at mo. love the idea of the gas cartridge which save space and weight. keep it up......👍
Thanks Steve! The cylinders work great. Small, light and easy to carry spares - although we only used two during a full week away - so you don’t need that many. I didn’t fit a floor vent as the volume of gas in each is so low and you switch them off at the cylinder after each use. We do have a gas and a CO alarm however. Cheers. N
Hi Norm, I ordered the cadac regulator as per your recommendation. However, I’m struggling to make the connection from the quick connect (left hand thread) to the 8mm copper that attaches to the hob. Any help would greatly appreciated. Thanks
It seems extreme but I cut off the threaded connector and pushed the rubber tube on to the copper pipe and secured with a jubilee clip. Sorry, I should have made that clear before. Let me know once you’ve got it up and running. Best wishes. N
@@highergroundlifestyle I thought that might be the case after trying to zoom in on your video. That’s no problem, I’ll add a compression between the pipe and the hose just to be extra safe. Thanks again for getting back to me. Your videos have been very helpful and one of the deciding factors in us also going for the u bed setup 👍
@@gauthierblanpain773, many thanks. The u-shape works for us! I have a few more videos still to edit of our trip last Summer that will hopefully show it in use. Stay safe and enjoy the van. N
Hello, I'm thinking of getting this same conversion for my van. Where did you get the removable table? Did you specifically request not to get the folding table instead?
Hi. The table was supplied by the same people who supplied the U-shape and cushions, Van Furniture. I asked for a free standing table instead of the wall mount as I think it’s a more sociable layout. The table is in oak and matches the optional oak work surface. There are two types of table mount, flush and “mushroom” (raised). The flush mount is neater but requires a hole in the floor. I went for this. Best of luck. N
Hi, I’m using the cadac regulator. It’s designed to allow you to use screw in cartridges for their garden BBQ’s but works great. No regrets using the cartridges as they’re small, light, much safer and easier to carry. I tend to order on line as it’s cheaper but you can also get from any camping shop. Cheers. N

Thanks for your positive comment. Best wishes. N
I'm looking at buying the same furniture kit in the future. Thanks for this video - some great ideas and things to think about.
Glad it helped! Best of luck. N
Good job Norm. Will be interesting to see the in-car build.
Cheers Lasse! Van should be back from paint next week so we can progress then. Excited to see the paint job. Stay safe my friend. N
Amazing😁👍
Keep it coming
Cheers!
Hi Norm, how are the gas cylinders working for you? Did you still have to put a floor vent in? Great video btw.

Hi, which regulator are using with the canisters? And where do you get the canisters from? Thanks

Amazing. Thanks for the quick reply 👍
