Hi,

Cracking job you're doing there matey.

I fear I've come along to this thread a little late but may I suggest you try to keep some separation between your mains and 12v wiring, mechanical separation if/where possible.

You really don't want a fault or damage to cabling bringing the 12v side up to mains :shock: that could tingle :)

Cheers
Bill

Thank for the comment
The blue is 240V and black is 12V and don't worry there not like that in the van the cables have been sorted out a bit.

DONE :D well bar the electrics and water and gas but everything eles is done well done enough to get it cleared as a camper so in the new year i'll start the electrics and gas my dad should be back up and running by then so he will do it for me
Oh sorry no pictures internet PC stop I'm on a spare pc working and all my pictures are on that but i hope to have it fixed in 5 working days :lol: so i'll post them all then
The last few days where a pain start at the crack of dawn and stop when it got to late i also i had to try out the camper in the middle of winter :lol: and i must say with no lights or gas or water it felt like a home inside nice and warm beds are very comfortable to sleep on and are a nice size didn't fall out of the top bed

So i might as well say my thanks to every one who help me out so far in no oder what so every

My Dad for the shed and all the little jobs he did but not for the drill trouble
My Mate for all the long night he put into it i know he won't let me forget
Dirtydiesel for the caravan bits which i have all used
My Brother for lending me the money to buy the van
Whitemice for helping me with all my qustions viewtopic.php?f=58&t=73454
My Aunt for some tool i didn't have
And every one on here for the replays

You all helped me get it done in the cold i will keep updating when i do stuff even if its paint a door or puthing in a screw but i will update as this is a camper that will change overtime when new idea pop into my head

Once again Thank you

Fair play to you Tom, victory is yours, I got a skid in my van last night, ended up sliding backwards down a hill, and in through a garden fence and ended up in a lawn. broken back light, big dent and 2 deep scratches on the drivers side at the back

Sorry to here about the van dirtydiesel hope you get it fixed soon
My plan is to tour ireland and england again but this time in style :lol: Then i will take on the world :twisted:
I love my little well big van i have driven other vans but none come close to a transit i want to clock a millons of miles in the van i'm going to drive it to the grave and then bring it back to life and then kill it agina and then i will bring it to life and so on
My van at night i need more lights up front i think 4 on the roof 2 on the A bar and i'm sure i will find home for more
Image
Frist trip out in winter sure way not went to kerry
Image
Image
Ok the van it needs tiding up but it is good enough to get it cleared as a camper
My doors
Image
Image
A free blind there is a reason it is not stright on one side its so i can see out
Image
A nice blanket in a cuboreded i will be making a door for the area above the cab this area will hold 4 blankets and 3 pellows
Image
Door at the back to make it look like a house it is open a bit thats and yes dirtydiesel thats the light you gave thanks
Image
Cooker and a better picture of the front
Image
Table set up
Image
Making the bottom bed
Image
Image
Image
The beds dressed for a well earned rest
Image
Image
Litte detail
This is how i keep my table in place it is nice and strong
Image
Door handly so nothing pocking you when you walk past :lol: :shock:
Image
This keeps the top bed up in transit going to put in a bigger one as this one just dose the job
Image
Under the top bed just to make it stronger it old flooring i would have used it as the van flooring but i just had enough to do that
Image
Top bed down
Image
And me wonder what to do next
Image

Sorry my speeling i'm not on my pc so i can't do a speel check

Jobs to finish are the power gas and water but that can wait till the new year then get it cleared as a camper finish the body work paint it drive it and just enjoy it
