restoration and update

Submitted: Monday, Mar 03, 2008 at 10:39

Member - kevin Y (SA)

just finished restoring a 1983 Toyota Toyoace with a poptop-- Roadstar Adelaide Luxury Liner 13ft caravan body.
Luxury back then was just the basic things neccesary for a holiday with an annexe for extra room.
Had a 1975 coaster for the last 18 years been there -done that -so only will use this one for short holidays, nosing around internet and found there is a classic motorhome club in the uk for ones built before 1987, my rego number starts with U G C --so if one of those modern ubeaut homes look down thier noses at me -(and some do)--- got the perfect answer ---- mines an" Up Graded Classic".
By the way solved the aircon problem ----sacrificed a cupboard in the front kitchen by installing a Dimplex portable one by venting the hot air out through the floor as well as the water its easy to remove as well . now for the cabin.
One idea from the USA is a cooler full of ice sealed at the top. it has a fan that blows through the ice and out of a vent that you can direct the cool air where you are sitting.
now the ice would be a problem in how long it would last, they say up to 6 hours, yeah doubtful on that, so am wondering if one of these waeco coolers could be converted and make the ice last longer and still keep the drinks cold, food for thought
