Part 6: Inside construction
20 March - 18 April 2011
The kitchen is now usable with hot and cold running water
Closing off the under bed storage area and insulating the wall with styrodur
The storage area under the bed is now closed and ready to use
After a winter with out heating I finally put the heater in
Got the first curved side piece up to close off the roof
Second seat bank is in and will become a storage bin when I get around to closing it off
More
curved panels are in and closing the roof off. Im using here 4mm
plywood and just pushing it into place but it will only go in if its not
too long and I have found that half meter is about the right length
Finally
got music happening and temporarily mounted the stereo. It will later
get a proper place built into the shelves that Im going to build at the
end of the bed
The
other wheel arch has now been closed and insulated with rock wool as
later I need to do some welding on the arches to mount the mud guards on
the outside of the koffer
Closed and painted with Polyurethane
A small step has been put in under the table as it is too high to sit comfortably without it.
Also more storage space under it
Building the closed tuned box for the Sub Woofer with an internal size of 28.6 liter
Fixed
to the floor and connected. This is also going to be the base for the
step up to the bed which will slide out from just above the box
The left hand side curved roof panels are now finished with being put in and the right hand side is half finished
Ive
epoxied the 6mm Mahogany plywood to a 15mm thick poplar plywood and
this is going to be the wall of the shower. It is sitting in position
but must be fitted to the wall where it will be glued and screwed in
place.
The water pipes froze in winter behind the wall, so I cut them off at the top and left them in place.
I then lead the hoses down behind the shelves so they were kept warm.
The shower floor has had the edges epoxied and then bedded down on Sikaflex and screwed to the steel frame
Applying a coat of West 207 Epoxy over the mahogany wall of the shower
Behind the cooking oven Ive put in a small computer fan to help extract the excess heat. As the switch is an old Bakelite one I mounted it near the floor where it is cooler
Finally started to paint the outside as its perfect drying weather. This is only the undercoat
When it has finished drying I will sand the old paint and apply the new color over everything
