Sprinter camper sunroof install summary
There's a sunroof to install above the shower and bed. Both have reversible fans for extraction or fresh air, and LED lighting built into the inner shroud. This van quite surprisingly doesn't have a selection of locations to install such things, unlike the cruddy old Ford van.

Buffings pads 'n angle grinders.
So I made a discovery today that makes me look like a genius or a pretty casual dummy. Take your pick.
Misc unsorted images below.
Barely moving on the van. Non optimal weather, motivation, and dollars are slowing things down. I'm still plodding through some basic plumbing stuff. I do have two pretty nice sunroof kits ready to install though (not shown). They have full size shrouded reversible fans, built in LED lighting, and a low profile knobby for rolling up the roof instead of a protruding crank. One is for the shower, the other for above the bed. Should be nice.
I found a really old electronics test board on hard rubbish. I've given it to Laurie to harvest parts for his SteamPunk creations. Premium parts! I'm hoping he looks up the manufacturers info and fills me in on some history, it's an awesome looking board.

Camper water tank heat shield install
Just a quick run down of the goings-on installing a basic heat shield between the exhaust and the plastic water tanks under the van.
Watch in 1.25 or 1.5 speed to prevent terminal boredom.

Knot grafting into the shower base
One of the layers in the ply shower base had a wood filler cavity where a knot once existed. Ply is full of these filled cavities (or cheap stuff is unfilled) if you go look at a manufacturing video. I decided to graft in an actual knot rather than use a sawdust-glue filler. I think it turned out pretty nicely.

Shower base rough-in.
Scratchin' ma' noggin trying to work out what I'm doing with the shower base.
View in youtube and crank up the speed to 1.25 or 1.5 to maintain sanity while I vocalise my old man thought process...
