Just read through your thread, you have a really lovely westy there mate! good work.

my sink/coolbox comes out for the summer, like many, prefer the space for camping, the long term plan is to put a proper fridge in it....maybe one day...

Thankyou.
yep theres quite a lot of space when you remove it , but its only a temp/camping thing!!
Ill keep you updated with what I can wangle up at work!!

Paul.

P.s your vans darn sweet too. 8)

It looks a treat in my Barn!! :lol:

Been thinking!! :idea:

I want to keep my sink/cooler unit but I need it to be more......working!!
Need to keep my milk, eggs and bacon kept fresh!!
So I have been playing with the idea of having the best of both!!


It fits in the gap with ease, I would box it in and reverse the door i think.

But then I had another idea!!
I have a realy small one I use for work, Its just big enough for me sarnies & drink.....and cake!! :roll:
I could remove the cooler/heater fan and gubbins and make it work with the standard cooler with out too much hassle.....Cant I ????

Has anyone done this? Or can it be done do you think??

Hi,

I have a old cooler box which i may dismantle, and a spare westy cooler box, you could marry them together, but a proper compressor fridge in place of the cool box would be the best option. I intend to remove my water tank as i am fitting a gas hob and grill on top instead of the3 westy sink, so plenty of room for airflow etc.

Maybe a Waeco CR50 or 65 would do, i need to measure up but reluctant to spend 400-500 on a fridge, but would be very happy with a decent fridge. It may be a nice mod which will work better than ice packs or the like, but no comparison to a proper compressor fridge, much more efficient.

If i mod the original cooler, without the tank there would be enough room for the fan and cooler insides around the back - though they do use a lot of electric to run, do your sums and work out how long the leisure battery will last if not on a hook up. Some fan noise too, would it be too loud at night when sleeping? Though quieter than the propex it have to be honest.

Cheers!

Alistair

Dont want to chop it about, just a few easy mods so its still original and practical.......sort of!! :shock:

Fitted my leisure battery today.

Sat it on some cork.

Made the bracket from a piece of angle iron.

Purchased off ebay!!

Just need to spray up the bracket and wire up the OG split charger, (It works...I tested it!! )




Then a quick wash... with a bucket!!!! :?
And out for a spin, givin it some round the country roads to make sure the battery didnt budge...

Next thing, a firetec system and a crook lock off ebay!! For a bit more piece of mind! :|
