Thanks for all the very positive comments and happy to supply any additional info if it helps. I wouldn't describe myself as any more skilled than a lot of members doing similar. As for the cushion, a souvenir from a camper that I bought on trust and lost two grand in a matter of weeks as it was so bad but I managed to offset some of the loss with the Karisma that replaced it which has been absolutely fantastic and a snip considering its low mileage when I purchased it. That cusion reminds me never to buy a vehicle without fully inspecting it no matter who is selling it and how honest they seem.

Hi really like the van Have been looking through the CAK online catalogue and I may just be being thick but I cant find the table leg you bought. You wouldnt happen to know the product code for it

Again great work on the van!!

Not sure if it was a mistake but the price I paid CAK was less than they have it listed at. Table is great and really convenient to use.

That looks brilliant.

As an observation, are you planning to enclose the gas cylinder? Its recommended to keep gas bottles enclosed in a sealed metal box with its own vent at floor level. I imagine a lid on the box would do. Having said that, cant you tap into the lpg system for gas?

Anyway - congratulations, thats one of the best homebrew conversions i've seen.

Yes, Angelo, many thanks, I like the thinking and logic behind all that, and of course the execution.. some great ideas in there, and the rather minimalist approach is perhaps what we were looking for .

Wanting to develop some sort of roll out units, so top loading fridge and a few other floor level items will roll out like top quality draws, but lock back very securely.

I like the look of that Angelo.. That's the great thing about personal interiors they look less cluttered than conversions
