Allan the Plumber Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well not quiet an Obsey but working on a few mods to go with the new battery boxes to enable me to get to dark sites and work in the warmth of my van. Couple of photos of drop down table I threw together Friday had a cut out of a kitchen worktop that I plumbed in a sink and a few noggins of wood and screwed it into the ply lining of the van, all I need now (apart from clear nights) is a small heater and a way for the active USB cable to exit the van safely without the chance of trip hazards http://flic.kr/p/juYrvm http://flic.kr/p/juYqAW http://flic.kr/p/juYsTm http://flic.kr/p/juXdr5 http://flic.kr/p/juWjJg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 thats what the pubs there for Allan, we can set up and clear off for a hour or two, although thinking about what happened to my camera and mount last year maybe it`s not a good idea to leave it unguarded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazz Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Very neat solution Allen, you'll be fitting a sink next ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fondofchips Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I just wish my woodworking skills were anywhere near as good, that's why my obsy is being built for me, if I'd built it myself my back garden would have more wood offcuts than the local timber merchants yards! Even measure twice cut once doesn't work. Though the current weather would probably made shed construction outside of the shed very difficult. Nice job Allan.

Allan the Plumber Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Very neat solution Allen, you'll be fitting a sink next ;-) You jest Cazz but while looking at a heater issue I did come across a sink that can be fitted and removed with its own internal water reservoir (waste you let pour through tube out of van) maybe an option can't wait to get my bigger van in October be able to fit in camp bed too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon used to do a swing out cooker unit, so you could use it inside or outside the van. It's as addictive and varied as astro lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
