I placed a couple of compurter fans in mine hooked to a very small solar panel to keep the air cooler and circulating and a 12vlt winch which as it turned out was not needed.
Again it looks so good you have every right to be proud.

Thanx Michael, finishing decor is to distract from the 'Out-House' thoughts, it works well
Re; right column, mm, could be right, maybe some series engineers & have rail tracks, take the Obs right down the back of an acreage, and drive it back when done

Yes,I seen some portable units on 'peter_4059's' thread here http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=141579
Bought a similar exhaust unit and used an obsolete Puuta fan and a little sol-panel not being used for an induction unit - They work very well together, had thermometers testing middle of day late summer - caboose only 2-3 degs warmer than outside, where as the tool shed would be 10 deg or more warmer
Both Panels are on hinges, so can tilt up to face the early morning sun & lay at rest as in pics to catch the even light till dusk
