Hi All a few more of my Dimension Mods as we normally wild camp and have done for above 40 years
1 Drinking water is at a premium we treat our water with Elsil and have always run a Nature Pure to a separate tap ( this time we are using a Pozzani Filter http://www.pozzani.co.uk/systems.html
in order to conserve our drinking water we carry a 3ltr container of clean water in the biggest container to fit between the cassette door and the cassette see photo.
2 As we have always had a PVC conversion space at night is at a premium so we fit wardrobe hanging rails to allow clothing to be hung on hangers at night or even during the day if it does not interfere with the rear vision see photos 1 & 2. note the blue nylon cord this is a drying line for towels etc.
3 Control Panel I hate leaving the pump turned on when not in use we came back to a wet van once when the pump emptied the water tank in the van when a pipe joint sprung a leak. I always fit a 12volt 3mm led to the switch output in this case red for the pump, green for the 12volt lighting and yellow for the auxiliary switch we only leave the lighting switch on all the time.
4 Wobbly Table Leg. as Graham noted the floor in the Dimension is a lid for the underfloor storage area and as such the lid moves when the table is in use I have made a 100mm disc with finger holes to turn it is carpeted to match the seat base an offset centre fixing allows the disc to be twisted and locks the lid closed when rotated to its upper position the lid opens without fouling the disc. I left the rim of the disc I had not decided whether to paint or stain black I think stain will be better.
We have been motor caravanners since 1969 we have always had PVC conversions as we prefere to go places the big coachbuilts and their generators and towed cars cannot go we are not anti social but prefer peace and quiet so a lot of the adaptions have been in a lot of our vans ( exept the wobbly table thats a first )
