Cup of tea anyone?




Oh yes. It has finally happened! Last Saturday we had our first Brian brew.

Brian's cooker has long been a source of debate. It is an original dormobile one, found under the front passenger seat.



As you can see, the seat pulls up towards the windscreen and flattens itself out of the way and the cooker comes up. (I'll do a whole post on his cooker when I am home in daylight to take pictures! It's really rather excellent!)

The chap who had had Brian before us had never used the cooker, so we replaced the gas pipe with standard orange rubber hose, approved to kite mark standards for gas, and slid the metal housing back over the top again. It can be sort of seen here.





The red is my new seat belt, the white is the side of the hob top, and the hose is in between. The only problem that we have is this one....





The gas bottle doesn't fit in the cupboard designed for it! However, as we will be fitting a new interior that J is going to make himself, he will make the door wide enough. It's not a massive trauma, by any standards.

As you can see, it all works beautifully, and tea was made! The first of many......
