Came across these the other day and I was just gonna leave them in my garage as ornaments. Then it dawned on me that it’s the colour scheme of all colour schemes to match my van. So the plan is to shorten the roof rack then fit them to the roof rack.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, But wiring them up ?
Ideally you’ll switch them through a relay.Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, But wiring them up ?
@sparkywig
So just to save all the trouble if you doubt you'll switch them on don't bother fitting any wiring
That is one of many of my frequently used ‘Go Tooos’ especially when it concerns wiring. Haven’t had any dash lights for nearly two years, been try to fix my horn to work on the horn push for at least three years longer than that ^^^, but I do have a switch under the dash . I’ve only just put a new headlight bulb in. In all fairness I did that the same week as I found out I was winking at peeps and not actually flashing them. One day I’ll just wake up and be absolutely mint at electrics and fix absolutely every damned thingSo just to save all the trouble if you doubt you'll switch them on don't bother fitting any wiring
No need to rush these things mate!!That is one of many of my frequently used ‘Go Tooos’ especially when it concerns wiring.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,, Maybe one day
Absolutely spot on bud. Everyone has stuff they’re fine with and stuff that for whatever reason eludes some of us. I know I’m not on my own with this electrics phobia and there’s one or two others on here that could hold their own along with me in the electrical incompetent’s Olympics. Gaz is gold medal quality int you Gaz.

Are you not going to use the cooler for the automatic Stella dispenser, thats in the " works "............
J & P
So here’s my tactical change of plans. I accidentally came across this brand new fridge over on the LateBay and it’s a super duper type that you can take the motor and running gear off and pop it elsewhere in another cupboard for instance thus allowing you to reduce the amount the fridge sticks out if you’re tight on space. So I’ve bought it and started fiddling around with various ideas and lay outs but couldn’t get it to fit how I’d thought. So I’ve allowed the ‘Motor’ and running gear bit to sit in between the front seats and worked around that. Only downside so far is not being able to open the fridge 180’ without having the fridge poking out or spreading everything apart a couple of inches. So here’s some pics of what I’ve been up too.No bud, tactical change of plan and I’m going all sensible with a fridge and conventional units.
Ozziedog,,,,,,,,sort of
So that’s the start of it and trying not to bolt through the trim panels etc.
The idea is to vinyl wrap the fridge door so it’s black too that’ll match the other ‘units’. The top weighs an absolute tonne <<< metric ,see ! I’ll weigh it in the morning and see how much I can reduce it by scavenging and scalloping out the underside, but that too weighs more than the fridge and my new units.
Not too convinced that a major concussion isn’t in line where that front corner is in head height range if someone happened to be opening the fridge door from outside of the van whilst partaking in Stella disposal. Should imagine it’d be fine for the first five bottles, risky for the next five bottles, then odds on for the next five bottles. Maybe fit a tennis ball to the corner ? Or maybe 45’ it.
So, a small shelf directly above the fridge, probably use some of the same top but scavenged out and scalloped to reduce it.. Then there’s a gap to the left and to the right. So on the right, behind the driver’s seat, I have enough space width ways to fit my one gallon of drinking water container nicely between the side panel and the unit plus enough space to hide away behind it, my recycling bottle, nicely out of sight which I can then pop another shelf over to make the bottles a snug fit and give me a little hideaway cupboard for whatever. I have exactly the same space to the left hand side plus it’s accessible from outside with the slider open. I could do shelves, or a hinged spicy rack but that’s been done to death already by Herr Westy and his cohorts. Slim still conjuring up and looking for ideas here. The sensible answer would be some sort of bin / recycling arrangement for bottle tops and bottles but I’m not terribly au fait with the sensibilities thing. A pop out shelf would be just making one to show I could make one, but I’d like an idea , possibly not earth shattering but an idea that could use this space. Bit narrow for a dunny, even with my slimline sylph like body.
