Our progress towards setting up this service has been slow & painful. We ran into financial problems & have effectively traded 5 of our properties for the motorhome. And we have also decided that our escape date is probably at least 2 years away. How does 11/11/11 sound?
Meanwhile, there are things to be done. Upgrades to the bus will be an LPG conversion, as mentioned earlier, & the installation of a Webasto heater, which uses diesel very effectively to heat the whole bus. I am also currently working on drilling lots of small holes in the bin locker area adjacent to the fan outlet of the generator, so that the heat produced by running the generator in a closed space has somewhere to go. The best part about doing this is that when it’s running with the bin locker door closed, it’s almost inaudible. Even running it with the bin open recently, it was far quieter than the neighbour’s Whipper Snipper.
Update: I have purchased a bilge blower, a bit like a centrifugal pump that blows air. The idea is that I cut a hole in the floor & bolt the pump outlet over the hole. It apparently pushes out 130 cubic feet per minute – that should be enough to keep the hot air moving out of the bin locker.
