its been a while...

Hello again...
So its been a while (again) but there has been some good progress:

1) Electrics:
Mains hookup installed and working, solar panel connected.  When connected to mains can charge either the van or leisure batteries.  Also ran the cable from the Sargent control box through the underfloor channel for the water pump and fridge.  I used thick cable for the fridge to prevent too much voltage drop.
2) Water:
Finally managed to get the water tank fitted - this has been a mammoth task, incorrectly specified frame dimensions meant I had to get it re-welded - I had to drill and bolt into the chassis and this took a while (and several drill bits) - I have been layed on my back under the van for days....
3) Gas:
Gas tank fitted (including filler point and hose), pipe bender aquired and started to make the pipes for the appliances
4) Fridge:
Aquired and basic kitchen frame built.

The bane of the last week, monster water tank frame, before having the crossmembers moved and rewelded....

LPG Fill point

LPG Fill point (again)

Next week I have a gas check, so I need to get all gas fittings installed, which means finishing the kitchen area. 
I also have the rest of the ply for the walls....
I still have 24 working days before I sail to Santander, loads of time ;)

These sinks aren't just for the laundry room anymore, more and a lot more kitchens are being built with this sink in mind.
