    • That’s tucked away quite nicely! I got two on my centre console but mine are closer to the top and front with one both sides for driver and passenger.

        I squeezed mine in the shelf below the radio and a volt meter for the leisure battery, the blue is a bit bright at night though.

          I went with the volt meter on a switch in that little slot next to the 12v power socket and funnily enough that’s blue too

                Battery voltage is low as I have a duff battery under the drivers seat. Just bought a battery shelf to go under the bonnet alongside the starter battery plus a new 110 leisure battery. That should free up the space under the drivers seat. Hope to fit it this week if it stops raining!

                    I thought about putting the leisure battery under the drivers seat but I don’t like the access, if you have to jump it do you want to be sitting underneath it while turning over if something goes wrong? Good plan for moving it.

                      • Here's what the lights look like when dark...



                        Strip light looks quite glaring from the picture, but actually casts a nice light down onto the cupboards.



                        That's just one spot light on... Lights up the whole van - will be perfect for late night card playing! [emoji106]

                          Where did you pick those up from? I just have a rubbish spot light in mine, that looks much better

                          • They all came from eBay. Spots were about £15 for the pair, strips were £12 iirc.

                            Need a table now... I like the swing out table leg that Chippy has on his site, not sure in the table top yet.

                              What's going on there? Is the bed up on that platform? hows that work unless you are 3 ft tall? What's under the bed area?

                              Intrigued....

                                Yep, almost a full length double bed (memory foam mattress). Platform is insulated too (2" celotex), stays super toasty even on the coldest of seafronts...

                                Underneath, accessed from the back is room for bikes, awning, chairs, etc etc. I liked the idea of carrying the bikes in the back for security reasons - no worrying about a couple of k's worth of MTBs being robbed at a services. Also in the back is the leisure battery, fusebox, and soon to be 220v hook up wiring.

                                It's fairly easy to climb up, and slide yourself in - there's a knack to it! [emoji3]
