  • Like that!! Interior has really come on! After our bed has a mattress on we are pretty close to the ceiling too. I’ll get used to it.

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]

        • Cheers chaps! Yeah, it is a bit claustrophobic - but you get used to it...

          Had it set up like that since I've had the van - so 10 years nearly now. It's seen some modifications, but basic layout has stayed the same.

          Maybe it needs some side windows in the future, and one of those IKEA induction hobs...

          It's never really finished! [emoji56]

              Do like it. Great use of space. It's always good to see people straying from the conventional set up and building something that works for their particular needs. Nice one.

                  Sorry mate, you caught me early in the day and it was an uncharacteristically positive reply for me, sorry won't happen again.

                  Now, show me your new knob.

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

                    That’s my van, very handy having that little table there. Perfect to make a brew up on with one of little single burners. Or sit and eat your breakfast when sat in passenger seat. Best of all a good beer rest when your outside chatting
