back with the pictures and the conversion.
managed to finish fitting the roof vent. so far, no leaks.
Then I set about some of the wooden beams that would support the ply roof and some of the wiring for the lights.
I am constantly surprised at the power of silkaflex. This stuff really does seem to bond everything together. It just took a quick prop up for 10 mins for the stuff to bite and off it went.
So down to the real work - the windows.
As everyone else does seem to say, measure, draw the line, measure, check the line, measure again and then check the line again. I also can't emphasise this enough either. So, after a bit of a faf with the measurements and cutting a hole for a slider window - one to remember is that measuring the size of a window does not always mean the actual size of the window - I ended up fitting a fixed window. Long story, but I owe large amount of thanks to a welder in Clydebank who found me a window large enough to fit the hole I had cut. Here is the finished article
I will mention his name later once I ask if he is ok with his name and number for all to see.
Once that headache was out of the way, I set about insulating the roof and the lower back of the van.
There seems to be many choices for this> I was originally going to use Sheeps-wool natural insulation from B & Q, but when I got there, they were doing a special on the recycled plastic insulation. Given that the Sheeps-wool was over 50% recycled plastic and the plastic was only £8 per roll, it was an easy choice. The rolls are about 150 m think, so I just unrolled each roll and let it expand for a few days before cutting it into two rolls half the thickness.
Attaching it was by way of some spray glue from Halfords as it was easy to get a can to try - and its still going.
