Gas cylinder and stove:
 Initially, I planned to build a propane cupboard under the bus, because I didn't want to waste valuable cargo space.
However, splitting an existing recess is much simpler, therefore the KISS principle requires its use. |
||
 The two bottles fit nicely when the top of the recess is cut out. |
||
 The partition is attached with sheet metal screws and “I breathed” the bottom of the cavity by making two holes with a cutting torch.
They will be a foam seal between the cargo and the gas plant. The partition consists of several bolted steel shelves. I think, that they come from the place, where I worked in the mid eighties! |
||
 Here is one bottle in place and connected to the regulator. |
||
 I used one of the old seat belts to secure the tanks. |
||
 There is a black iron pipe outside the bus, which, after entering the living area, turns into a copper pipe. |
||
 I used a piece of computer power cord as a stem, to make a sharp bend of the copper tube. |
||
 To prepare the end of the tube, you need to use a special tool, to extend it. Don't forget to put on the nut first!
Home Depot has a flaring tool, pipe and tube. The flaring tool cost approx 20 dollars. |
||
 Guiding the tube through the stove cabinet. |
||
 The furnace slides in and the tube connects to the fitting on the manifold.
The stove is from Timbuckt , my local caravan shop. It cost approx 350 dollars. |
