    Awesome work boys I'm keen to see you rebuilding the ceiling

      The roof isn’t too bad so I haven’t touched it yet. It’s one project I’m not mad keen to tackle just yet 😅 It’ll definitely happen one day though 👍🏻

    Excellent. You guys are doing all my proof of concept work, thanks. Cooking inside a van creates all sorts of headaches. The awning leg location is something I hadn't worked through. I'm looking at a batwing awning, though, as an ordinary awning still leaves the kitchen exposed to heavy rain and wind. Watching intently. Cheers.

      Awesome thanks mate! I had thought of trying out a batwing too. Probably with a smaller awning straight over the slide out. I actually like our old skool canvas for now. Might change that sometime down the track? Appreciate you comment!

      Thanks! It’s so good being able to cook outside 👌🏻

    Awsome job! does the black and yellow water bayonet at the 3.15min mark prevent the water pouring out when nothing is plugged in them? and if so could you kindly suggest we’re to purchase?

    • @TheBeatenTrak

      Sorry for the slow reply I’ve been away the last few weeks. Yep that little bayonet stops the water coming out when not plugged in. I got that from a local caravan parts supplier called ABCO caravans. 👍🏻

    How do you remove the slide for maintenance please

    • @TheBeatenTrak

      My slide and tracks are accessible from under the front bed. I guess if you needed to you would just have to unbolt the tracks and pull out the slide but I've never needed to do that.

    Hey love your access hatch how did you make it, was out of security door?

      Yeah they’re great 👌🏻 Basically security door frame with chequer plate infill.

    Hi, we are looking at putting a queen size gas strut bed in our 1974 Franklin caravan. Are you able to tell us what size box aluminium you used to construct the bed in your van? Many thanks

    • @TheBeatenTrak
      @TheBeatenTrak  ปีที่แล้ว

      The aluminium box section I used is 25mm x 25mm 🤟

    How do you power the gas igniter?

    Hi. This is great video. When you change the shape (where you squared up the front) of the van do you have to have an engineers certificate. Also, you have changed it so much can it still be registered as the original make?

    • @TheBeatenTrak
      @TheBeatenTrak  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Linda 👋🏻 After I had it all done I had it taken to a reputable caravan repairer/sales shop in town. They fitted all the gas and wired up the 240volt in the van and certified that. They also weighed it, checked it over - lights, brakes, bearings etc and produced a blue slip so it could be re registered in NSW. Although it’s had a few mods it’s still listed as the same make on the rego papers.

      @@TheBeatenTrak Thank you. I had always intended to have 240 volt done by licenced electrician but watching your videos I am rethinking everything else I want to do. Was originally only going with an inside renovation and some roof replacement because of roof damage but when I began I found so much rot that I have to do a complete gut. Now thinking about replacing the outside too and squaring up the ends. You have been very inspirational. Thanks again.

    We have a Jayco Silverline & we are wanting to remove our slide out stove, but cannot work out how to remove it. Can you instruct how please?

    • @TheBeatenTrak
      @TheBeatenTrak  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey there sorry for the slow reply. I’m not sure about the exact particulars of the slide out in a Jayco Silverline but i’d imagine that you’d just need to remove the bolts or screws that have fixed the runners in. 🤔 Let me know how you get on.

    Hey bud. What slides did you use?
    We are looking to make our own as well but worried about weight and what to have where on the slide.
    Can you mount those slides down bottom?

    • @TheBeatenTrak
      @TheBeatenTrak  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Nick I actually purchased the slide out kitchen second hand and it came with the slides. It has Aluminium brackets which allow it to bolt into the floor. Those brackets you could get made up anywhere pretty easily. Here’s the web address for the guys who made the kitchen if you want to shoot them a message and ask more about the slides finchaustralia.com.au
      I have messaged them before and they’ve been helpful. Good luck ✌🏻
