Ventilated Electronics Cabinet

We’ve got two overhead cabinets in the cockpit of the Phoenix Cruiser. Unlike the other cabinets, these came with decorative glass fronts.

The cabinet above the passenger seat has become our electronics cabinet. Mui added a portable shelf inside it to make the best use of the space. It’s nice to have all of the electronic gadgets stored in one place.

The only problem is that the interior of the cabinet gets very hot — especially when the Cruiser is facing west on hot summer days. The solution? Mui replaced the glass with a decorative mesh panel to add ventilation to the cabinet.

I like how it turned out. When we return from our upcoming camping trip, I think we’ll replace the glass front on the other cabinet, too.Les mer
