12:00 hey mate I would turn the shower tray completely round and use the door outside to empty the toilet plus make recesses for cupboard and a cupboard for storing stuff from outside, ye maybe just an idea 👋🤠👍
Well as there was a leak from the toilet flush tank I had to take the loo out to reseal the tank where there was a small split. That only took about 20 minutes and if necessary I could have raised a ply square and easily accessed the tank top. The tank is a new one from a few years ago so I'd hoped if required I wouldn't need to but actually would be pretty quick anyway. I did look at putting it the other way around but there is a steel strength box section running down the side which I would have had to cut into and I was worried what might happen to the integrity of the structure as a result. Pulling the cassette out inside is without any big deal and pretty straight forward and filling the flush etc is also pretty easy. I can even fill from the shower hose if I really needed to. I keep meaning to put an update on as we've been using it for a few trips now and I upgraded the brake servo and tidied up a few issues since the last video. Every time I think of it it seems to be pouring with rain though!! I will try to get round to it soon though.
This may be too late for you. Regarding the fridge, I've seen Gadget John on You Tube, add in an old PC computer fan to aid ventilation. Only added a tiny extra electrical load and meant the compressor coil was so much more effective.
Thats the second person to say the same thing. Basically the ply over that area is separate to the rest of the floor and it has a new pump etc fitted about a year ago. I can't think of a way to make it waterproof and still put everything there so I will just have to take it on the chin if I need to pull up the shower tray if needed. I had wondered if the tank could be dropped instead if needed. I went round and round with this one and settled on having to be faced with removing the shower tray if required. Not ideal but there you go. Everything else is designed to stay put self supporting even if I needed to do that.
@@spuddoc7230 I can't imagine having an indoor shower in a 101, especially one that the shower tray extends infront of the side door, but each to their own. From what I'm told, dropping the tank isn't as straight forward as it seems, especially if the tank and all components are still original, it would nearly always be easier to access the pump from above, sounds like you've got it all figured out though 👍🏼
@@Alpine_Overland I sure as well hope so! Shower in front of the door is to make use of wasted space. If you see a video in a year or two of me taking it out then I was dead wrong!!

its all in. pc fan especially important if 3 way fridge used. Plan is to add more vents behind through the floor into outside locker if needed.
Just wondering, how are you planning to access the fuel pump floor hatch if needs be if there's ply and then a shower tray over the top of it?
