Fridge-tastic!

Over the last few weeks we have tracked fridges on eBay. We've watched them, bid on them, and seen them go at the last second when someone had had a bidbot to bid for them.

But this time .......... We WON!!!



It's very tidy, and works well. Chap had it running when we got there to pick it up, and it was still really cold when we got home 3hours later. That means the seals are good!

It's a Dometic rm2262, (and if anyone had a manual in English, that would be great - we downloaded one in Norwegian....) and it is bigger than your average campervan fridge, but that suits us. It has meant some changes in the way that we had thought about having our interior.

We have now gone back to the plan that we both liked in the first place! We're not going to put a hob in, because one of the coolest points (for me) about Brian has always been the cooker under the front seat. It's there - so we are going to use it. That just means installing a sink an the fridge. Obviously we'll have to change the gas piping because we don't know how old it is, and you can't muck about with gas. Bad things happen when you take risks with gas!

We ended up going over to Norwich for a few bits, and went to Drayton Caravans and the chap there was really helpful, tried our gas fittings to check they were the right kind, and was very reasonably priced. It's a fair way for us, but we'd go there again!

So that was this weekend! And it's half term this week, so I promise I'll get that Caravan and Camping Spending Spree post done!
