I don't think they will knock you back on that even with the draw fronts as doors :lol: .
It took about 4 weeks for the old man's and he does not have a toilet room in his conversion, this was less than 6 months ago.

Nahh.. that's just dressing for the pics - haven'y you ever seen Changing Rooms?

Awesome job on the conversion - don't worry about the 6ft bed thing, mines across the van too and I had no problem getting it approved, perhaps they are still allowed to use common sense!

Anyway - happy travels!

Thanks for all your comments, paper work sent off today so fingers crossed.
The sink and hob was a bargain £21 posted from ebay :D the plates i need to find a way to stop them smashing I may box them up and get them out when needed. The bed is 174cm so a little short but not a lot. Cushions well a birthday present so had to go in lol. I am pleased with my self cant wait to use it
Thanks again Neil

Very nice, but are there any drop holes in the base of your gas bottle compartment, and any air vents into the main area to provide air changes when using the cooker?
