That Swiss one would be a frickin cold shower at present.
I've got a Kickass HW system that's totally portable; all seasons use

Just seen this on the Grenadier at the Hedin Automotive Switzerland video. Hot water tank I think View attachment 7802375

Or you make your own as I intend to do. View attachment 7802377

These are breeding grounds for bacteria, shower in water from one...maybe, but after making my own many years ago and adding potentially 40kg on the roof I've gone for a more civilised form of hot water, on demand and able to adjust temperature.

Nice one. I would be interested in one of those heat exchanger water heaters then gets plumbed into the vehicles cooling system. Time will tell how feasible this will be with the Grenadier.

Same issue as the roof mounted tube, no adjustment of temperature, I know this as we had one as a child....either HOT or COLD

I'm sure many people have already found this, but in the US out of Iowa:

Aircraft Style L-Track & Tie Downs

Choose aircraft-style L-track for versatile flatbed tie down options. This heavy-duty airline track is offered in 6' and 12' lengths and has a low profile.

A good source, but typically this US source has been higher quality; https://www.cargoequipmentcorp.com/

Finally started building the rack in the back.
First thing yesterday morning was fitting the base plate.
Spend all day yesterday finding the right distances for the boxes to slide, fridge to be fitted with vibration cancellation foam, ….
Back to the workshow now. Hoping to have some results by tonight.

 

[das mo]

All parts done for the lower level.
Time to fit the second layer.
This is the setup I will leave in the car after the big trips.
Initially planned to go lower to have somewhat of an plane loading bay when when second row seats folded.
But the step from trunk to folded seats is about 22cm. Fridge 25. Running the math with limited storing options on the lower level, I decided to go for 29cm height. Fitting solid 28cm boxes with 5mm space on top as well as below for smooth slide on the oak rails.
Next level will have few more cm to fit our toilet box, but have top level floor flush with the back seats.
Keep you posted.

Great work, keen to make my own. How will you be fixing it in place for trips? I'm wondering if the commercial variant tie down spots are available under the factory rear mat

 

[YIPPE]

Also if possible could you please send a photo with seats folded down just to give me an idea. Thanks in advance.

I use these fittings, put a 6-7mm spacer between them and the floor board and screw from top. The commercial one ordered without airline has 4 connections points. The ones the airline rails use. So same thing. Longer screw. Larger spacers.

Thanks so much. Sorry I meant the two seater variant of commercial. It looks to have anchor/tie-down points outside of your tie-down strips. Just not sure if the 5 seaters would have them available also. Lovely work. Looking forward to next update.

 

[DCPU]

5 sweaters have them available ~ just Torx bolts into the floor where the extra tie rings fit in the commerical variants.

 

[das mo]

It all comes together nicely after running all the numbers for weeks. ;P



The task I pushed till end is weight optmiziation.
Calculated for various thicknesses and also building with alloy profiles.
Went for 12mm for the levels and 9mm for the „walls“.
Oak pieces are for structural support as well as rails to run the boxes.

When all is done I will figure out where and if to remove materials in terms of holes, e.g. under the fridge, as well as milling pockets.

 

[das mo]

Second layer fitted.
Minor correction to be done when sanding.
Level is 10cm above folded seats now.
