more camper van than gypo van

busy week for the van!

The pink leather is now being used to cover the ceiling boards, and I have opted for a barley mega stretch carpet to cover the walls and door cards.

Windows fitted!! a quick process done in Derbyshire,
it turns it from a gypo wagon to a camper

Insulating the panel below the window, just finishing off the insulation after the windows have been done as the van was covered in iron filings.

Packed out the recess with insulation as well as having the insulating board behind, this van belongs to a girl who has 2 duvets in the summer! I will not get cold!

Who needs a man - me cutting out the 3 ply boards on a Saturday morning, next door asked if he wanted me to help, I spent the morning moving around ply boards, jigsawing and drilling!

 Cut out the window hole for the back panel, it will need some adjusting but that will be easier now we can see through the hole to where the window sits.

insulating the roof - i don't think this is going to get cold! more board, and more insulation covered with plastic sheeting.

I have also decided not to put the bulkhead back in, I didn't want the bottom of the frame sitting on the flooring, I am a perfectionist and I have A levels in textiles and interior design, I am very particular. (so that was a touchy subject) but also since reading about wild camping it is a good idea to park facing the exit and being able to get into the cab, so I can squeeze between the seats)

fitted the ply panels back in - just need to cover the ceiling panels, carpet the ply once it is delivered, decide on how to have the bed, screw the ceiling in place, sort the cupboards and hey presto! 
job's a gudden

the knitting project was finished last week too!
