99% there...the white walls were a complete fail due to not fitting them properly, replacements have been ordered but haven't come, the sink still needs plumbing and the 240v leccy wiring in. Nigel is a bit disappointed with the 50mm lowering springs, he was hoping for a much lower look, but it'll h...

I made that awning, sadly after constant use over the last 6 years it is no longer...the pole snapped and the thread I'd used to sew it up with had more or less disintegrated but its served me well!!
Its been replaced by a fiamma caravanstore this year

Thanks all...gonna try a bit of thin backing wood painted black

What do others do to make the back of the wardrobe look neat from outside? We've tried putting a bit of wood behind our new unit but it looks very messy from the outside & it would look worse with nothing there - obviously losing the window altogether is going to be the best solution but this is...

Getting very excited about finishing this now, I'll have to find something else to keep the bloke busy! A couple of pics from today http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg144/ondrak/972349_10151818584072490_1870911812_n_zpsa7b3d53c.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg144/ondrak/994311_10151818584...

Looking good, can't wait to see it. Hopefully Busfest ( if my vans ruining ) :( Whoa on a minute there Mr. Watson! Come hell or high water you'll be at Busfest - even if the duke isn't on the road (it WILL be!! :wink: ) we'll make sure you have somewhere to kip & somewhere to cook...just don't ...

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/images/products/hol-side-table__0108769_PE258448_S4.JPG Ikea hol side table, cut a slot in the front for the flush handle and shape the top of one side so the portaloo is the same level. Pop a nice cushion on the top and cover the sides with some carpet trim and voila! A l...

I also forgot to post that we now have lovely comfortable leather Audi seats. Nigel had to adjust the swivel plate before he fitted them as it was too high, but hes done a great job http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg144/ondrak/20130817_172246_zpseb77494b.jpg The units fit!! I've covered the fridg...

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg144/ondrak/20130817_144125_zpscaf92f00.jpg On the home straight...there's light at the end of the tunnell...not long now before we can use the van again!!! Wheels have been painted, baby moons & white walls. The units are almost finished and we have a new fl...

If you want extra warmth, b&q also do an insulation made from recycled plastic bottles (it won't hold water like the old fashioned stuff) I've used this with the thermo wrap and its made a huge difference

Search for 'van carpet trim' on ebay - its very easy to do & covers a multitude of sins...but make sure you use high temp adhesive or it'll fall off at the first hint of sunshine. We've done the roof as well as the panel cards http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg144/ondrak/601966_10151769926832...

My devon bed was a little too hard so I covered it with several layers of wadding before recovering it - we did use a memory foam topper when we were on holiday this year but found it a pain to move about
