Just taken delivery of a double seat / rock n roll bed from East Coast camper conversions. I will need to get it fitted this weekend and next as we are off to Leopalooza on the 21st and to France for a fortnight on the 1st of august. I got dropped off on the drive on a pallet as I was about to leave home so will get it unwrapped into the van this afternoon. Pics to follow.

Just sorted myself a DJ slot. Not sure what venue or day.

The new double seat went in yesterday, and so did the driver side seat swivel. Raised floor being built today and a swivel for the double bench seat on order.

I raised the floor yesterday, so the bed is now operational!

I’ve been messing about with 18mm ply to create these lovely contoured mountainscapes. The one pictured is an overhead panel that covers some ugly electrical conduit in the van. It’s actually a map of the five valleys (and surrounding mountains) that come together at Briançon in the Haute Alps

i’ve been toying with the idea of making a table top using this method (with clear resin to make it a flat surface)

Very cool.  How did you do that?

I like the extending roof. Looks like the top floor of a house, complete with guttering, double glazing and white rendered outside wall finish etc!

Yeah, it's a pop top. Two double bedrooms and an en suite up there.

Yeah, thought it would be something like that - even if it is a little de rigueur for my liking. Can't see a staircase though. I can only think that you have yet to install a fireman's / woman's / they's / it's pole within the van?

There's a lift - you sit on the loo and pressing the flush fires you up there.

That's because the loo is powered by the bullshit we are talking. It is powerful stuff!

So I've been sanding and oiling the ply panel walls in my van, using Danish oil

It's berserk, may never need to take mushrooms again.
