Where do I get myself a Table stand/pole/adaptor thingy ? Caravan I stripped didn't have the table, pole or floor fitting thing in it. :(

Caravan dealers are your best bet if they have a decent "spares" shop...

Here's one, as an example, look hard enough and you'll find one cheaper, iirc I paid about £21 for mine

So a little bit of progress,
Managed to get the ceiling in and carpeted, after much thought about how to fix it,
went for 2x2 battens front and back in the end, aswell as screwed to the metal,
and also had enough carpet left for the middle of the bed bit.

Feels much more like a camper now!, going to test it out tonight.

Not much progress lately as the old girl died on me, gearbox was doing some horrible crunching.

Managed to get a second hand gearbox for £50 off a scrapper, and she's gone in to my friends garage to do the work.
Riding public transport again is no fun!
