Caravan chassis mods
Looking rearwards from the offside-front corner. The black cable is for the trailer's lights. The angled spikes & nuts on bolt-tails are foot-flange clamps for the two gas bottles.
Similar view from the nearside-front. The gas-pipe can be seen cleated to the hull. The brace beneath the axle has shims which can be changed to alter the shape of the chassis' hull-supporting surface, should further hull-distortion occur.
Underside of the fridge-locker, seen from nearside-rear. The red plugs close holes for the waterpump & wastepipe.
View from offside-rear. The "rods" in the foreground are light-gauge tubing, forming a rear cross-member which braces the door opening against distortion caused by someone standing on the threshold when the van is supported on its corner-jacks. Shock-absorbers are Mini front ones, (old Mini that is), they're different colours because they were bought at different times & aren't the same make.
View from nearside-rear. The left-hand end of the rear crossmember is seen, as well as the amount of extra depth at the inner edge of the fridge-locker. (about 3/4").
