Finishing off

With most of the main structure done we next tackled the interior cladding of the shower/toilet.

The kitchen area came next.

Whilst I had been doing the engineering stuff Heddi had been working on the upholstery and curtains. It was all coming together and looking good.

All that remained to do was the electrics and plumbing. For this I had to crawl underneath and fit two tanks, one for fresh water and one for grey. This was fairly hard work for a man of my advanced years!

For the electrics we have two leisure batteries which can be charged from mains on hookup, the van’s alternator or a solar panel on the roof. These power an inverter for the fridge and sockets for kettle, toaster etc.

The hot water comes from a Truma duel fuel water heater, so it’s heated from mains on hookup, or by gas if not.
