The pic below is of the gas box door which I installed last weekend. I had a few issues with making it fit and had to cut the door down with the angle grinder. The sticker on the box cover was $9.80, what a rip off.
Being a Ham Radio nut, it was essential that I had not only the UHF CB installed, but also the 2 metre/70 centimetre transceriver. The radios were always intemded to be installed on the shelf over the cab, but the issue was always where the antennas would be mounted. The answer was to use gutter mounts. I found the mounts at http://www.andrewscom.com.au/ for $19.00 each.
Before I could install the VHF/UHF rig, I needed to run 15amp power cables from the battery of the bus. To do this I installed 2 heavy cables from the battery to a distribution board under the small cupboard behind the passenger's seat. I also added a double cigarette lighter socket for things likr phone chargers, TV etc. ($12.00 from www.jaycar.com.au )
The following pics show the radios installed on the shelf and the antenna mounts on the front of the motorhome.
The pic below shows the UHF CB antenna on the gutter mount.
The Table
My original plans for the table didn't work out the way I's hoped. Put simply the table was too low and the drop down wings on it were way too long. It was impossible to sit at the table comfortably, so I had to shorten the wings. The pics below show the 'new' modified table with the wings down and raised.
Now I have to finish lining the shower, and by the way, the seats are at the motor trimmers being completely overhauled, new padding, reshaping and recovering. I've been promised big things, we'll see later in the week.
