dinette extentions

[cruisaderhilton]

I have just finished making 2 extention cushions for our van,when sitting length ways my lower legs hang over the end of the seat by 300mm so came up with idea (seen it on another site).All pieces obtained from bunnings for the job came to $60 ,could have been cheaper but went heavier ply wood.They were made to be taken off when not in use bye means of brackets screwd to the plywood seat base and also the end of the sofa seat, also there is a drop down support leg to take the weight off the brackets.It is not designed to be a chair only used to support legs when watching tele,the drop down leg has a rubber stopper on the end much like a chair to stop it cutting through lino .Another thing I done was to put a 170 w solar panel on roof of the van ,it was already wired in at crusader factory up to the roof and to the batteries, connected it up to 30mppt regulater and away it went ,so far it has been good we only use minimal 12v power so will see how it goes when in the future.
