Hi everyone,
I've just joined the forum. I bought a Ducato 11 JTD SWB a couple of weeks ago with a view of converting it into a camper.
I've got plans all drawn out and I'm pretty much ready to make a start.
The only query I have is where I can cut a hole in the loadspace for the gas drop out (if a gas canister leaks, there needs to be ventilation to the outside. As gas is heavier than air, it must be on the floor).
As the plans stand, I will have my fully sealed gas box at the back door so I can access the gas bottle from the outside.
Can I drill a hole (possibly a number of small holes with a sink drain type idea over the top of it) about 20/30cm in from the back doors? I've had a look underneath and can't really see anything which would get in my way, or which I would damage if I punctured it. The spare tyre will be inside, as the nut to loosen it from the cage underneath would be right where I've got the kitchen unit.
Any help and advice would be appreciated.
