aghhh, just got home from trip OS , will get fridge wire pics for you , have not forgotten , just haven't been here to do it.

Basically the wire just comes down from the facia and into the fridge, the wire is very fine and the fridge seal closes on it ok, if it did create a tinny tinny gap, it's at the top so I doubt if any cold air would rise out pass it.
Once in the fridge I just push just the end of the sensor into a small white tube I sica flexed on the side, this stops it floating round and I can just pull it out to replace if ever required.
The White tube is about 40 mm long just so I could have enough to stick to. The tube is a piece cut of a ballon stick, you know, the ones with the little plastic cup at the top, fits perfect.
The Companion WiFi fridge thermometer has no wires, gives ambient and fridge temp and time.
Have one for home fridge as well now.

yeh, wireless is good, i was just after a neat simple gauge to keep an eye on fridge at a glance. does the job ok for $4.95
i have a engel temp gauge for the car fridge and it works a treat.
at the end of the day , as long as u know the bourbons are cold !
no prob at all, just need to trim the facia hole slow with a sharp blade, that would be the hardest part, but not to bad took me a few minutes. and the facia just clips off pretty easy.
Well with my draw back from the powder coaters , i set about fitting push to close runners , attaching draw , and i must say i am glad i measured twice as you can see. a massive storage draw right next to the door , for all those bits and pieces , leads, hose fittings , pegs , ropes etc or a great draw for shoes boots and thongs. hmmmm couple of bags of ice and a few JD'S maybe !
Tow vehicle gets a new 12 volt boat loader with remote, to load the recently purchased tinny, that i got approved from the wife, haha.
If you can see the string pulling it up , it 3mm in dia with a load cap of 800 kgs, it seems strange lifting with what looks like a shoe lace .

Hi Colin,
Love the channel idea but I have a question, when attaching how did you attach, rivets or screws and what did you do to stop them penetrating right through into the bed mattress?
Thanks
Dave
Hi , i used screws but only 3 , one at each end and one in the middle, screws only short. the channel has a back welded on to give more surface area, and i used sic a flex, white marine grade silicone thats sticks well, from memory its marine 291 bunnings, about $20 per tube. hope this helps.

I just did mine Dave and held it on with Sika and 5 pop rivets. I took the mattress out to drill through but the drill went through the exterior sheet but didn`t go through the inside , there is a small void in there and I did hit a hidden brace in the middle that was a bit hard to drill through.
Thanks Colin & Matt, that's what I needed to know (the void thing that is), always get a bit nervous when drilling and not knowing what's on the other side (wires and the like).
Just to keep my jayco van thread up to date I better add the pic of exterior stainless steel tv mount added to outside along with a couple of weather proof 12v & aerial sockets.
