Funny you should say that, I have just seen that wickes do furniture board for a very reasonable price. Plans for a rear kitchen pod will be drawn up, already told Mrs Page and she has said no. That won't stop me lol 😆
 
Moved a stage further, used the brackets from the old monitor and made some spacers up to hold the screens backplate in place, when I attached the monitor there is a gap between the screen and headlining drivers side so will take it apart and adjust the spacers (bit of 9mm MDF, nothing fancy), monitor needs to be removed anyway as I need to run in the RCA cable.

For connecting the screen I butchered the old monitor and cut away the female connector and used that to make a lead up, fun and games as they say.

and if anyone wants to know the pin outs on the controller board that the female connector is attached then here is a photo, connector is on the reverse side.

I used B+, ACC and GND to power the unit. I think @Stempy could decipher the rest and maybe make use somehow of the other connections as I am not smart enough.

About to try cooking under the tailgate for the first time.....darn weather. The trip to the beach is notably wetter than we hoped!

You go to the beach to get wet in the sea and for the sand, for the full affect sprinkle some sand in to your food ;o))))))

Out of interest are you just lifting the lid up or do you have a screen/curtain attached to keep the elements at bay?
 
As I removed the Toll Card reader and added a USB socket in place I also had some spare space, so I added a Battery VM, just testing as I will be running cables soon so no point in putting it back for now.

Quick question, what's better, side or rear conversion? Do they differ alot in price? Thx

Sounds great. How long did it take to fit the replacement parts?

A couple of hours, did it outside my mate's unit (inside a barn). Had the van up on a couple of ramps so I could get underneath.

Slowest bit was getting all the rusty nuts undone.
