Table and under seat storage.

Tables big enough for 4-6 people depending on elbow size ! Lol

Underseat storage is fixed to the floor and accessed by sliding the seat forward, will be used for storing packet and tinned food etc and general camping odds and sods.

Now rocking rusty steelies !
Tyres are all cracking on the alloys so have nicked a set off one of my father in laws vans to use for the trip to Yorkshire.
Also got the hub caps for them aswell so am going to give them a splash of paint as they look a bit crappy atm lol

Already for the drive up to Yorkshire in the morning, fan wired up, tailgate bolted back together as the inner and outer skin were separating along the bottom edge ! Also fixed the lock mechanism as it was bent and catching inside.
Checked all the fluids, took it for a 20 mile drive just to make sure the brakes were still playing nicely!
Finished making some vents for the front windows to let the air circulate at night and hopefully prevent excess moisture filling the van throughout the night.

850 problem free miles up to north Yorkshire, various trips about and back home !
Didn't need to use the electric fan as temp gauge sat dead in the middle the whole time.

My father in law had all the problems though, lost a wheel along with the hub on his trailer tent after 250 miles on the way up there, had it recovered back to Essex, then his ignition barrel started playing up as his key is really worn, then locked itself solid so we had to smash it to pieces to break the steering lock out and start it with a screwdriver !
