it's taking shape now (:

Just uploaded some extra photos from my phone, here is a closer look of the ceiling, the battens run the length to support the ply board, these are screwed into the double metal struts.

Casually laying on the van floor! i have started just sitting on the wheel arch with the door closed, it's so relaxing! and now warm!!! :)

Here is a another look at the ceiling insulation, you can tell it's a lot warmer just from me sitting in there, the condensation on the window. I will fix wind deflectors to the front windows and leave the windows open slightly.

 I am so anal that I have made the grill cover a diamond instead of a square, just to make it look better. The little touches which you can do in a self build.

Started the bed today! this was the hardest thing to settle on with the design, I was going to buy a sofa bed from Ikea but it would mean either cutting a side to fit between the wheel arches, or to make a support and rest it on top, and then a support would be made to support the foam, so we just made our own, the final design isn't modern, so that ruled out a rock and roll bed, also being expensive too.
