Looks great inside. Well thought out.

Having just ordered an Alu-Cab roof I need to sort out the inside design amongst everything else!
May I ask how you are heating the water (if indeed you are) really struggling to decide which is the best way to go. 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html

That’s the big question! Opted for a canister water system rather than an underslung water tank for various reason one of which is addition fuel tanks taking up space underneath.

The night heater will be ducted through the water storage cupboard so it can heat the water to an ambient temperature of 30 degrees or add hot water to a canister which will then be pumped via a submersible pump to a Bullfinch outside shower point located by the outside en-suite awning.

Very nearly went down the heat exchanger route but decided the ultra simple way suited us better. Hope this helps.

Very helpful thank you.
I’m also considering just a canister system for storage but worried about the amount of internal space they will take up. I guess it would be a good starter system that could be upgraded as time and money allow.
I’ve been looking at gas powered and electric powered water heaters, haven’t ventured into heat exchangers and such yet!
Thanks for the Bullfinch idea, looks like a neat shower solution. 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html

Badger110 has a good thread going regarding heat exchangers..

Just had a quick read, used for filling an internal tank via a tap or pumped from a container into an internal tank. Just use a shower outlet point if you want it the other way around.

One side finished just checking doors & fittings before it goes back to be touched up & powder coated.

Hi James, not as heavy as you’d think. Going to weigh both sides just out of interest. Guess 35kg....

Bit of a late reply! Basic push button catches which are both simple & look good.

Ah yes, will probably use the same catches, like you say they look neat.

Looking good in there, are you fitting a sink/hob in the worktop? 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html

No hob but a small polished stainless sink with filtered water.
