  1. Well the weekend saw our first major outing in what has been named as Belle, not by me!
    Although not the full camping experience due to not having finished the rear sleeping quarters it was a cracking 400ish miles over three days around Cumbria without any issue.

    So as mentioned the rear interior is still work in progress but is moving along.
    Cupboards to be delivered this Friday, will need scribing into van then painting.

    Main RnR bed boards away being upholstered in same material and design as the door cards. Below is my brief and crude drawing for Delilah's the upholsterer.

    The pop top upper bed cushions have recovered by my mother n law and I'm very happy with them. Difficult to get a picture to do them justice but here you go.

    Hoping to make it down to Volksfling in May and fingers crossed the cupboards will be completely installed and painted.

  2. Had a great run up to Perth to collect my RnR cushions from Daz & Lizzie at Deliahs's, absolutely fantastic people that produce quality work.

    Also done some trail fitting of the cupboards I've had made, very happy with the way they look.

    Also the buddy box in situ.

  4. Yeh, just need to get the sleeping quarters sorted and the leisure electrics transferred in and we're off.
    Done a few miles over the last couple of weekends to iron out any issues, nothing major so far.
