A shelf and another vertical panel

Now it was time to finally hide all those cables of the 12V circuits which were spread on the work top above the refrigerator. The first step was to attach a shelf at the top of the side window. There was a mounting point which had originally been added as a part of the disabled-wheelchair seat belt - it was above the right rear side window and provided a strong mounting point. I got an 80cm long rounded shelf board from B&Q and cut it so that it did smoothly stretched from the rear panel to above the side window.

Then I prepared the final vertical panel, which would fit under that shelf, parallel to the rear panel.

And here is how the completed area looks:

I also had attached the carbon-monoxide detector and the smoke detector (on the top part of the rear panel). And, as can be seen in the above Photo, there is even a space for the coffee maker (it is attached to the work top so that it does not slide or falls).

Structural work, and more trim

In the final stage, there will be a bed on top of the refrigerator and above the seat across. It is important that the structure underneath will support this. Therefore, I added additional pillars. Onto that refrigerator region there will eventually be a counter top, covering all the wiring.

I also upgraded some of the cabling: added a ground/minus cable suitable for 50A to the leisure battery. Also I had to reposition one of the posts of the refrigerator compressor shelf, to make more space for the leisure battery.

Finally I added the Veltrim material to cover some of the blank metal parts on the rear sides. Some parts I had insulated underneath with the aluminium bubble foil, but on other parts I affixed the Veltrim directly onto the metal.
