It was a VERY busy couple of weeks and in our haste we didn’t manage to take many pictures of our progress, but here is what we did….
Boxes built by hubby…..
3 at the back of the van; 2 towards the front of the van and at the foot end of the bed, and another additional smaller box built because I realised the distance between the boxes on hubby’s side of the bed was far to wide and would collapse!

Bed slats installed and held in place on top of the boxes using dowels and holes drilled through a few of the bed slats….

The kitchen – my favourite part of the camper van – it holds all of the kitchen gear and a crate underneath contains all of the dry foods ….
mmmm, no picture, but I will add one while we are on holiday instead!
Roll up blinds custom-made to fit each window and held in place by hooks on some windows and magnets on others…..

The mattresses were cut into various sizes and shapes to allow them to be used during the day as seating and then re-arranged to make a full mattress for sleeping.
I was very fortunate that a friend had given me a few rolls of upholstery fabric in exactly the right colour to go with the curtaining I had chosen from the stash in my sewing room.
Add in a matching tablecloth, table mats and flowers and you have a lovely English breakfast in the sun….


Our first weekend test outing was a resounding success and apart from a couple of changes and additions we are very happy with the results.
Really looking forward to a proper holiday soon.
