We've got an 04 AS Symbol similar to Jits. I did the same fridge upgrade a while ago. Its a game changer😃 Only uses 40 watts when the compressor is running. I also fitted the same power and solar controller when rewiring like Gary's done for you. Another game changer😃 These AS boxer vans are brilliant. They don't make them like that any more. Such a shame. Good luck!

Thank you for your video. I have taken your upgrades in my beginning. The first and most important is my new China diesel heater. With his best position for mounting and exhaust tube. Very compact with his own fuel tank = I can use also the cheaper heating oil, instead of diesel. The next is my used truck compressor fridge box, runs on 12 Volt DC. It is a top loader, so the heavy cool air stays in. With an extra part for bottles. It is mounted on the passenger seat, so I can use it for cold drinks even by driving. I drive allways solo. It is also separated from the living area. So when I heat it warm, i don´t heat my cooler. And I don`t hear it, when it runs. I have also a water filter between my water canisters and the tap. It is a cheaper version, made for inhouse water systems at home. A new filter cartridge costs 8 pounds only. And works also well, the same level. I use light proof water canisters, not a water tank. (5 gallons each) So I can go everywhere to fill it. And connect it directly to my water system. I want to keep stealth. So no water fill or AC connect outside. And no stickers, etc. So my camper van don´t look like a camper. Greetings from sw germany. (liked + subscribed)

A Peugeot boxer base Autosleeper Ravenna which we love but now our 14 year old isn't as interested in travelling with us we would love to get a smaller one like yours so that we can get to more hard to reach places. It's amazing just how compact but well equipped Jits is. Thanks for the updates. Stay safe friends. xxx

I would stick a Marvel or DC comic poster on the underside of that homemade elevated table - that way it looks like a cool picture when up, and in use no one knows. My Van has an Eberspacher - it is decent, but the control thingy is fiddly, and I have had issues more owing to a dodgy uplift filter, rather than the heater itself - but it is decent when I am wild camping. I have a cracking little plug in one that that is like a large plug and I use on hook up - it is epic, and the best heater I have probably ever used in my van. If you want the brand name etc, I can dig it out - it is minuscule and fits into a three pin plug socket. Forgot to add, I am currently buying clothing from Bamboo or Bam Clothing - the clothing is amazing, socks feel so wonderful, tops feel lush, and for me they are my new, eco friendly clothing source.

Great to see the updates on Jits! Tip with the heater, run it at full for 20+ mins at least once a week to "clear out" or "decarbon" the inside/exhaust and it should run forever. We learned the hard way with ours (always running on low) and after a couple of strips and rebuilds we got it working just once and had to replace it. Heard many people running theirs for years and no issues. Hoping for a warmer and cosier winter for you and can't wait for your next videos!

Love it to bits , one of the best van layouts I've seen but it's showing some of that dreaded rust in places, just a pity it's not euro 6 compliant, a lot of places don't want you to visit them, they demand payment before you spend money in their towns !

Nice! But pay attention to the alternator. Your van seems and older model and using a 60A DC-DC will put significant load on the alternator. I think it's only a 90A or so, so adding the 60A sterling AND a cold day with huge loads (heater fans on max, lights and so), or hot summer day (not sufficient cooling air) might be too much for the alternator. I would carefully check for the temperature, make sure the alternator is sufficient, or downsizing the Sterling to prevent killing your alternator!
