Just in from another day on the interior, no pics other than my home made router table :ok
separated out all the cupboards inside the units there fully scribed into the van wall's so fridge is sealed etc, started on the over bed lockers took some working out, might end up looking the same as before but there loads bigger by juggling things about a bit! Rain tried to stop play but ended up with the awning tied to my Dads car :?

It's the safest way of using a router, I am building my table at the moment.

Yeah lot safer way to operate, but made that with the trigger zip tied on on the router, and a domestic light switch! ! But was a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a proper one!

I'm going to use the same on my table although I do have a proper On/Off switch (salvaged from our scrap bin).

Done a bit more, trial fitted the fridge and fitted a cover to the top so it's sealed in totally. The space next to the fridge will have 2 deep full extension drawers. Took a few pics of the progress so far so here ya go!

What great work. Can I ask what you are going to put in the seams. Just had loads of work dine to my van bt the paint is cracking at the seams. I am wondering if it is because what has been used.

Cheers :ok Taking ages and the router table is getting fully tested!

Yeah the silver box is as all gas lockers should be in a sealed metal box with a vent pipe in the base to let any leaked gas escape!
