Self tapping screw indeed.
Got them from screwfix for couple of quid a box of 100

Finished boarding out apart from the rear door, Ive got special plans for that

with the gaps (under the floor at rear and by the side door where i couldn't bend the ply into van contour) Ive taped it with duck tape and injected it with expanding foam to fill and give me a good edge / shape to carpet at a later date

How is the floor fixed down, have you screwed right through the ply/vapour barrier/celotex/etc, glued all the layers to each other, or is it floating?

Yeah I glued all the layers together with contact adhesive.
The boxing Ive put in for storage etc is fixed to the floor and the sides tying it all together also

Next up Ive built a Seat / bed
Wanted the seat to work as rear or forward facing, have a table option and them convert to a bed.

This is the main seat part and a pic of the side panels that have various slots

The sides of the seat is designed to have a back rest slotted in to in 3 different positions give the front / rear facing and bed options

That's awesome. I'm going to do something similar but I really like what you've done.

[teamdave]

Cheers, Im well happy with it so far, just wish the bloody weather was better and could crack on with it faster

Now for the table / last part of the bed.

Just wondering how you went about trimming the RAC wiring that was connected to the battery about to do this myself at some point! is it as straight forward as just cutting them and taping the loose ends?
