This looks awesome Timcat. Looking forward to pics of the interior once kitted out.

Had time to fit the Planar heater & Naka housing with some additional power outlets.
Really impressed with it.

Good question, I thought that but the original cover I took off was basically a blanking plate ( dummy) I’m guessing it’s drawing the air from the gaps in the system & the drip vent.
Hasn’t made any difference to the Aircon or the heater. Thoughts?

Yours is a RHD UK vehicle, yes? If so, the heater and it's intake should be on the passenger side unless it's had some very complicated plumbing added to draw air from elsewhere. I can't imagine it's just drawing from under the bonnet as that'd be unpleasant in the cab Confused Darren

Hi Darren,
You make a very valid point, I’ve had no issues with contaminated air in the cab but thinking it through & googling it there doesn’t seem to be an alternative! I suppose the ideal solution would be to come out of the side of the wing like the o/s air intake?

Jim.

Any chance you could open the bonnet and have a look? If it's not posing a problem, I'm just intrigued by what's been done. I'm guessing you didn't fit the GMB box? They're usually fitted on the offside on RHD vehicles where the wing top plate is just a blank. Darren

Hi Darren,

Bought this from the overland show Germany, off GMB stand. I did ask at the time about fitment & they said no modifications needed ( told them RHD). You’ve now got me thinking!

He turns out some nice work does Errol, recently went to see a kitchen fit out he’d done in a 110. Very crisp job.

when we finalize what we are going to do in the back of ours, we will probably get him to make it @steve_overland on Insta.

Errol turns out some nice vehicles. We wanted an Alu-cab roof but after rebuilding the 110 we couldn’t afford it so resigned ourselves to using our roof tent while we were saving. A chance conversation with Errol ended with me buying the lifting roof off his 110 that he’d designed and built himself. We were gonna use it until we could afford the Alu-cab but since we’ve been using it we like it so much we’re gonna keep it.

Errol fitted our Alu-Cab top as well. I think he said, at the time, it was his 20th!
