Hi, thanks for making me feel welcome :-) I am not sure how I answer each reply individually, not used to forums or how they work...... I will learn though.

That looks great and similar to my idea for the permanent bed at the back with storage under it.

We have also been away in ours with a blow up bed lol. Ours has the low roof though, only downside really

Pressed quote, figured it out now :-)

Dunno why the link doesnt work !!! you just put Campervan Handyman in the search thing at the top for my channel :-)

Try this one :-) I only just claimed the name after a few months deciding if I was going to keep it so YT servers must need time catching up
