Re: consumer unit

Thanks
It'll just be the fridge, lighting and 12v sockets. I'll look at some conversion websites.

consumer unit

We have installed a leisure battery and aren't planning on adding a mains hook up so is it advisable to still install a consumer unit or just a fuseboard?

rear heating controls

Hi guys, awaiting the arrival of our side conversion, but i'm wondering are we able to purchase an extension cable for the rear heater controls so that they can be fitted to the side of the kitchen? or is it a case of crimping wires and extending it ourselves?

side door trim..?

Conversion going well....so far... Obviously with the height difference in the floor the side door trim no longer fits despite hacking lumps off the bottom. Do any companies make a deeper trim or do we need to raise the tread height? Will this cause issues with the tool kit access?

Re: AFT trouble.
