That is the one thing l didn't like about the doormobile was the high up sleeping. Nice roofs though with those sky lights.

just thought i'd share this...   old interior I had in my bay pre resto...     

ingredients:
1 dormobile interior (most of)
1 roll of speaker box vinyl
1 bucket of pva glue
1 sheet 5 bar treadplate







swapped the hinges over on the cooker and hinged it off the other side of the bulkhead, the box the buddy seat is on held my barrel BBQ :)

That's nearly a year's advance notice, you can't possibly be doing anything else

Chances are more often than not the next post after this one will be from Nixy

Hey Pmacs49 that looks really nice . We are going to use Plywood for our cupboards instead of the fake plastic wood, but of course that stuff is sooo useful and hardwearing, but it is the best thing for us at the moment, and then we will do the door panels also in nicely finished Ply.  It may evolve... but it will be unique!  We may stain it etc... we hope it might look rather nice!
