Looking forward to watching this build, it’s something I’m thinking about for the future but maybe not in a Canter though (for reasons we discussed - limited support, limited 4x4 options etc). Can’t remember if you said, but have you seen True Blue Travellers on UA-cam? They convert a fridge box similar to yours, albeit on a Sprinter chassis. Can the chiller not be repurposed as air con? Will you reuse the exterior door -nit looks sturdy and well insulated? Don’t forget ear protection is a good idea when working with noisy tools, especially in a confined space..
I thought the same and actually ordered some ear defenders after that multitool session! When I looked into it I was actually surprised that they are sold in 160 markets and 90% owned by Daimler Truck and serviced in the Mercedes network. Re our discussion I'm looking for a soft-roader something that will handle the mud and snow and ice with selectable 4x4. Here in Europe they don't generally come with Low Range or the Exhaust brake options, (you can find them now and again but all special order) but I don't think you would take this rock crawling or green lane'ing much. You need to drop by the workshop when you get chance :-)
I know it's a bit late now but the chiller can be used as an air con - it can both cool and heat. There are two problems though. Firstly it is VERY noisy. Secondly it is very power hungry. I measured 85 amps on mine while it was running.
Now that's a nice project 👍 Great video and looking forward to the next episode
Thanks 👍 will try to keep them coming lots of challenges ahead
Excited for this build!!
Me too, still need to finish some work on the Volvo also and do a video tour!
THats idea I am playing with myself. Looking forward to see your progress!
