Cheers
Chris.

Sorry Chris bit late coming back to this. The beds are our camp beds, just fixed some tube to the side of the van to support the legs. During the day they fold flat to the sides.

Managed to do a bit more, hard to find the time at the moment. Started to line the sides and to get as many pockets and shelves as possible. Don`t know what the side pockets will be used for yet ? bit of a fiddle to do aswell.

I made a removable access panel for future wiring. The microwave will sit in front of it. From here you are able to get to the lower panel by the floor where the batteries will be.

Bit more done now. Started to cut profiles and templates of the sides and lay out the interior then the plan is to buy some vaneered ply.
:shock: I cannot believe the price of vaneered ply. 1440 x 1200 x 15mm is over £100.

Built a tv drawer in the front locker, pritty happy with it .

If you can imagine the telly fixed to the frame it can then be tilted any angle you wish.

Image

Image

Image

Image
Now getting the bed in position, the drawer on the right supports the end of the bed. I was going to flush this in with the front locker, but how it is now the bed cannot fold down without pulling the support out.

bed folded up.

bed down.

now started carpeting the roof and sides.

Fitted the carpet and ceiling boards now. The center maroon boards (have been done a few times on here, and i think personally it looks smart and breaks it up a bit). These can be removed. I want to replace all the screws for black ones once i have found some. The center section has two strips of led lights set into the slots so they are flush and will be switched individually.

Now to the middle partitions, i have made templates up of the profile of the van. I am trying to mount ( no not like that ) a router to a board to slot the edge so i can fit an edging strip. Pics to follow.
THANKS

A little bit more done now. Center partitions now finished, benches built. Now for the worktops.

water tank to go under the van. I want to put a set of wheels on this and make it a quick disconection, so it can be taken to re-fill while on site.
