Day 9

Only two days to go! But things are really coming together, started the morning by cutting out the faceier of the side table and icebox and then did some dishes for b & k before heading to the shop to finish the electrical. After having to make a quick switch back to the house to pick up the terminal kit for the wiring, I grinded off some of excess metal around the external sockets to make it sit better. Drilled some holes in the van for the waterproof casing to sit in and attached the case and silicone the edges to ensure it was water tight.
After lunch we started on the final bit of wiring up In the engine bay with the isolator and house battery to starter battery. The system we did was that when im plugged into a exterior socket both battery charge as well as running 120v outlets in the van, but the isolator stops the house battery from running out by only allowing current to flow in one direction. We got that all done and I installed and wired the 12v outlets in the van before heading back to the house to finishing off the afternoon projects.
I decided that I had to get the shelves in for the bedside table and the facer for the storage area in by the end of the night, with some contemplating and the mind wandering I got it done. Then spoke to bri about the icebox idea, he put me on the right direction so I cut out four walls of the icebox only leaving the top and bottom for tomorrow. Let me tell you now, insulation doesn’t taste very nice alittle to but texture hahah. Tomorrow im going to put on the polish, finish the icebox, attach the hinges and finish the bed front covering.. Then the last day will be for cleaning and final touchups around the van and the house. I can’t believe it’s only been 9 days from when I had a non working van, that was full of crap to now nearly complete campervan that’s running like a beast! I would like to thank some people for getting me this far,
