Looks great :D same camera screen as mine. I cut my rear view camera screen into the headling so its hidden when the sun visors are up.

What you planning for the rear roof lining? Lining carpet stright to the roof? Or make up some panels?

You cant see the screen from the front as its got that auto wiper thing in the middle, Going to carpet the roof in 3 removable ply/Carpet sections because the roof area is the only way I can run cables to the back.

Quick update, Started on the bed and storage but its slow going. Run some ducting for the LED lights,Tv, Reversing camera etc and started carpeting the roof. Finished insulation and its made a hell of a difference to warmth and road noise.

Also got this today, As mine is a low roof this will be handy.

Still trying to find someone to fit bonded windows, Anyone recommend someone around Liverpool, Manchester, Chester.

Seen those rear door canopies before, look a great idea. Do they do Transit specific ones, or is that just a Ducato one?
How does it seal against the roof to stop rain seeping through?

Crapper :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Its for a Fiat Ducato I think but fits mine spot on. I need to fit a rail to the roof to stop water comming in (Tonylem) and then the "Turd tent" as I now call it :roll: slides into the rail and over the doors and is secured by elastics.Its got an adjustable pole to the front of the doors to tighten the "TT" and to hold the doors open. I will get some magnets to help hold the side panels if needs be.
It was on an internet auction site BJT, Be handy with the dogs mate.
O.... FYI Burberry boy, The black french sh*t box is not mine before you say anything. :evil: :evil: :wink:

Waiting in LED lights for the back and rear view camera before I can finish the carpeting.
Turbo-555, The insulation is 6mm thick from campers online.


Cab roof looks damn good mate. We have carpeted some of the back of the camper, We want to do the cab roof too if there is any left. I know what you mean about the spray glue, I amazed our carpet turned out ok. Its hard to put it up when you are floating lol

Took the air box off to get better access to MAF sensor to give it a clean. Around injector no2 ive noticed some engine oil pooling. Could this be the rocker cover injector seal leaking or something else.
Any thoughts.
