Many thanks

Hi Guys, many thanks for your kind words, I used to be an auto electrician and caravan technician so it made sense to combine my skills and Horace was the result. We are moving from west sussex to cornwall in a few months and looking forward to that, heres a short walk through video (on an iphone) Horace youtube
Hope to meet some of you at some meets,

Great van. Good job and well done. What fridge have you chosen ? as my van has a similar layout and I'd like to change from a cool box that I have at the moment in the same position as yours to a proper fridge but there are so many different models. The separate compressor is a good idea. Just starting to look around at the possible options.

Hi and thanks,
my fridge is a Weaco CRP-40, it has the removable compressor, the most popular one is the CRP-50 but that has a fixed compressor,
cheers,
