Re: interior ideas please
Hi bicolour.
Great question and posts above really useful. Love to hear what ideas you are going with.
Have just done the same thing with my t25 - got a bit carried away with myself, but really enjoying the freedom to put it back just ow we want it - we are glampers at heart. The ideas I'm working with are:
- making tea and coffee is #1 function so tea, coffee, spoons, cups have to be easily accessible - not in a box in a cupboard. Fridge has to open while bed down to get at the milk if partner sleeping.
- Everything accessible while bed is down so can leave it down instead of remaking it every day.
- 3/4 bed not really wide enough for two, so am adding an extra 8 inches of foam at the side at the head end and tapering down down to the feet end where not so much of an issue.
- Cheap battery powered fairy lights set up to run off the leisure battery (buck converter) to give warm ambient lighting, with switch accessible for turning off and on whilst in bed.
- remove cupboard above bed and wardrobe to get enough head room for sitting and maximise light. We have a fixed high top so plenty of storage up there.
- side access to storage only. Top access means clearing the table top whenever you need access.
- gas oven to make cooking much more versatile and easy.
- bungy nets instead of doors to keep stuff in place when driving.
- use natural materials and keep it colourful. This photo is the closest we could find to what we are after http://www.sjsvwcamperinteriors.co.uk/a ... d=98870013.
Regards, James.
