We have a memory foam topper, it folds flat in the back when not in use - makes it lovely & comfortable

Re: Childs hammock over front seats ? Help

I made one (there's a thread somewhere but can't find it using my phone) and used it for years until my child grew way taller than the width of the van - because I made it I could make allowances for headrests etc

flappy curtains

I've tried lots of ways to stop the bottom of my curtains flapping about - the age old problem of sunlight streaming under in the morning or turning over in the night at the risk of exposing your bum up the window...well today I found these in hobbycraft http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg144/ondr...

Re: Adding a stripe (again!)

Our camper was once Striped with an ugly Autosleeper stripe, in brown... and a white roof http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c229/kev1122/Jackrednose010.jpg I changed it in 2004 for a more pleasing aspect (to me any way) attempting to tie in the high roof with the body. http://i28.photobucket.com/al...

Van was supposed to turn up today after already being over a week late and £700 over the estimate. :shock: Forgive my ignorance...but how can an experienced company give an estimate so way off the mark?
