Truth be told - gloss is just going to make the purple look even more mighty.

Look out everyone - Boxanne is coming through...
Very slowly, at 45mph.

I meant that I did not understand your original question.

Oh!

I would like to know how do you plan to build the inner part of your camper boxtruck. Like where will go the bed, what kind of kitchen will you use. Will it have shower and WC? That kind of things.

I have rough plans but they won't be finalised until closer to the time. What is for certain is that the bed is above the cab, in the small front section of the box. Then, on the wall below that overhang will be a raised seating area that doubles up as a spare bed for guests. To one side of the remainder of the van space will be a kitchen. On the other side will be a small bathroom.

Guess it isn't going to appear as one of those classic inconspicuous vans that MI-5 uses. ;)

Got 2 dates booked in with the auto-electrician:


13th April to fabricate frame and fit solar panels. Feed wiring through the ceiling.

2nd May to do everything else. Battery, split charger, inverter, wiring, lighting, reverse camera.

Bodyshop has given me all but one of the roof measurements, so I can give that to the auto electrician, along with the specs of the solar panels I'll be ordering. Then they'll know what they have to work with when fabricating the frame for the panels to fit to.

In other news, I sent Den (bodyshop man) a load of photos of steps for the van. He told me the one that looked most suitable. So I ordered that this evening from a horsebox company:

I've only bought a new car once in my life. cars were crap when I was younger. fortunately to people like myself quality engineers, they have really improved over the last 40 years much more reliable. Corrosion resistance has improved and so has weathering. Areas I have a lot of experience in the above p[ictue is what is known as crazing most likely caused by a repaint the repaint not being the same resin system as the OEM coating, not being compatible with it some inter coat adhesion issue.

I hope you post pics inside and outside when you are finished, if you wish?
The plan does look promising!

I'm doing something slightly similar, but far behind you; rebuilding a truck camper to mount on my pickup truck.
I'm slowed down by my indecision and continuous possible updates.

Spoke with the body shop just now.
Tail lift and frame is nearly all removed.
Front cab is stripped and being prepped for respray.
Going to drop the step off on Tuesday evening, after work.
Hopefully by next week I should have some photos to share.
