I just like it!
Very well done!!!
But why don't you use the way up for the heated air straight into the tent through the interior or use
an open door of the trailer to get the tent heated up?
The outdoor tube seriously does a great job, even when the difference of temperature is low.
Are there some expereances with -15°C?
I guess it was you who once apon a time posted some pix about that tube outside, aren't you?

Didn't want a big hole in the roof tent base
I have it piped that way because there is another connection at the bottom if the trailer to heat up the tent awning if need be

Fridge and tap ...
Fitted the tap today
Got the fridge slides in . Had to order some longer slides as the ones I got didn't cover the handle length
Big thanks to Uncle Ray for his Ali welding skills

Yes some angled brackets
Will get a picture for you tomorow
Thanks Wiggs, when I made my slide, I had a bit of a nightmare getting the bolts to clear the runners, i.e. the bolts which I used to fix the runners to the angle and the runner to the draw side.
I too forgot to allow for a dimension, when you open the Engel (engel 45) the lid overhangs the back of the fridge on its hinges, therefore the sliding base was 2" short now the sides of the sliding base were too short, ended up extending by 8" in the end to the length of the slide to sort this and gave somewhere to store the water can

I use button head bolts for the slides as there not as thick
