Should have stuck with the expert...

Bargain at only £42.00 and free p&p too :-

The boxes on mine could easily have a hinged locking door attached with hidden or tamperproof fixings.  May do one front one that way.  They are quite a bit smaller than the rear but then... I have little of value.

But as Mr Zimmerman said "If you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose".

I am hoping to find another litre or two with pockets behind cutouts in the rear door cards too.  Every little helps.

Another big thanks for the battery relocation details tee-cee.  It was on my list but you have saved me much thinking.

Same goes for a lot of the other ideas on your build blog.  Very helpful and not just automatically jumping at over the shelf offerings which are often far from ideal.

At that price these might be worth buying for the swivels alone.

Don't know what other seats they might accommodate... monkeynut???

I already had them lined up on ebay.  Just thought that if someone had a pair I might give them £20 rather than someone on ebay.

Anyway, I went and bought them but now suspect they won't fit without some serious hacking of my cupboards.

This pic shows the clearance.  The other side is not so bad.

I knew I would have to cut for the mountings but didn't think about the actual stay!      Might need a horrible great slot.   

How far do these "stays" stick out from the doors when closed?

Oh dear!

I just googled tranny banana.

I have been looking into this as I can't get my old 2 way dometic working.  Found this somewhere and copied it for reference.

I wouldn't want to risk my starter battery though.  Not if off grid anyway.  They do run flat out all the time they are connected though and often don't need to.  Once well chilled shutting down and switching back on every hour or so can greatly stretch out your valuable 12v. 

As might one of these:-

The Camping Gaz cylinders are nice for stowing but silly money per refill.

I currently have a Camping Gaz 904 with a 901 as backup.  The refill costs are making me think of returning to Calor though.  (Unless abroad.)

edit... scuse the format of the table if scrambled.  Looked fine until posted.  Can be seen at the above link which has other answers to basic gas questions.

Only slightly less agricultural, but adjustable too:-

While I respect your greater experience, I think the only way the top could be pushed out, with the door fully closed, is if those locators flex.  Or like mine. are snapped. 

They work on a 45 degree angled wedge.  It shouldn't (couldn't?) allow movement outward without a corresponding movement backwards, unless those locators are a loose fit in their sockets, or they flex.

Next option will be in steel.

Or perhaps the fuel pump has gone. 

Bad luck C.

The right one will turn up.

No gamble if you don't intend to honour it though.

Won't start... someone bumped it... dog ate it...

Nothing on ebay surprises me anymore.
