    When I fitter mine I ran the wire down the back between the outer skin and the ply lining and then in hose fastened to the chassis under the floor.

    I installed the heater in our Top Ender when I modifier the rear wheel carriers to swing out.

    I fitted the tank into the rear bar and the pump under the shower/toilet.

    We still have the ticking problem but as John said once the van is warm and set between 1 and 2 we could hardly hear it.

    I fastened the pump to the chassis in preference to the floor as I thought the floor would have a drum effect, but the sound still travels thru the van.

  3. Hi All

    The fix has been completed.

    The crow was not inclined towards sikaflex (after I paid $28.00 for a tube, guess I can use it in the MGA restoration) so I purchased some chrome strip on eBay.

    Cost

    Bunning’s Fur $30.00

    Chrome Strip $32.00

    Total $62.00

    I am not convinced the fur impedes the ingress of insects, but the crow assures me that they won’t cross fur. (Hey who am I to argue?) :confused1:

    After pulling the windows out I believe blocking the breather holes is at least 95% of the answer

    Cheers

  4. Hi

    Bunning’s have a grey adhesive backed stick on door seal fur which looks the same

    as the “FIX” it’s 6.5mm wide and 5mm high retails for a under $2.00 a MTR.

    I think I’ll give it a try along with the Sikaflex.

  5. I contacted the chap from the eBay site and received the following.

    Hi Bryan,

    If you can order 4 of each at one time the price will be $142 incl postage.as there would not be so much waste in vinyl.

    Or 1 set at a time would be $53 incl postage.

    Cheers Jamie

    Makes Kedron’s price questionable.

  6. Hi Pete, Tracey and Tolley

    I modified the rear bar to fit the heater tank (I still have to fabricate and fit the ally cover) and in the process I made the spare tyres swing out as the boat trailer limited access.

    No problems getting the wood and gear in and out now.

    Cheers

  7. Hi Chris

    Did you receive a wiring diagram with your van or know of anyone that has a wiring diagram for the battery setup in a topender?

    The jumble of wires I refer to is the manner they are connected to the batteries without appropriate identification tags and this was done by Kedron.

    I can install the inverter but a wiring diagram would be of assistance.

    My major concern is if I have an electrical problem in the middle of nowhere the only guy that can fix it is me and without the appropriate information it could be a formidable task.

    Cheers

    Well the heater is in and working, I only have to cover the tank with ally plate to match the van.

    As usual the job was not straight forward and to fit the tank I had to alter the rear bar work for the spare wheels so I bit the bullet and hinged them.

    A big job but I am happy with the result, thanks again for all the help

    Cheers

    I intended to install the heater under the bed with the hot water unit (single beds) and duct thru the cupboard, under the fridge and into the shower.

    I am having second thoughts under the fridge sounds good no noise less space loss.

    Is it possible you could email some pictures of your system?

    Thanks to everyone for their help.

    Cheers
