They're not that bad.. :shock: , the chemical has quite a pleasant aroma, and you just can't beat the convenience.

thanks for the kind comments.....as for north weald not sure if i should race it down the strip now lol but could be persuaded? i know what your saying bigmastif about going from a lightweight racer to a heavy weight camper but the lightweight thing worked as a project and now i need to semi retire the van as it was getting trashed being used as a delivery van, so in order to justify keeping her i thought i can use a camper quite a lot so give it a go!

ok...ceiling up now and started fitting curtains

Hi, loving the very professional look of your camper. Just interested in the wood you have used for all of your cupboards etc. It looks like laminate flooring as per the roof

cheers, it made me think perhaps thats a light and cheap way to do mine. I think the trick is to leave the opened boxes in the van for a week or so before building then they will expand to whatever size they are going to go then staty building. Layed plenty down in the house even the bathroom and its been fine for 2 year having plenty of water etc on it.
