Member Of The TLB Old Farts Club just noticed the question has been answered by Lofty, silly old fart that I am.
Hi @tommygoldy ... happy to oblige! The above is a combination of two separate photos, so the perspective's a bit out in places. We've kept one of the two original hammocks, but replaced the canvas and moved the anchor points over so it's wider than the original. Not much to say or show other than that... the ceiling lights are 12v LEDs from Ikea, with a dimmer and I had to replace the original roof vent with a new Fiamma one, which is slightly larger, but doesn't leak! I'll need to remove the Sheldon roof at some point as there's a lot of rust beneath, which I've been able to seal but would prefer to cut out and replace with good metal. I didn't specifically set out to buy a high-top, but now I've got one, I think Sheldons are great... can't imagine camping with two adults two kids (14 and 2) and two labradors with a tin top! I'd love to see what you do with your interior... not many of us Sheldons around!
Thanks @dog and @72wilma ... money's already gone, cos we bought Freckle two years ago, when we joined TLB and started this post. I think we met you at Camperjam last year, Wilma (or am I imagining that?), but we haven't met you yet, Dog... hope to do so soon though as we'll be going to a few TLB meets this year!
Thanks for sharing - your interior looks great! Did you do it yourself? Lots of inspiration... with all the storage space up top a full width bed and small kitchen unit really makes sense. That said, my short term plan is to concentrate on getting the bus running as well as possible and maybe tidy up the bodywork before starting on the inside. For the time being I'm going to live with the current interior, with a few tweaks and additions (and a good clean!). After a while we'll know what does and doesn't work, and at some point I'll probably have a rethink. Mine is fairly basic up top, no roof vent and no cupboard at the front of the roof. With that in mind I'm thinking I might make a sliding platform at the front to create a child's bed. A roof vent is probably a good idea, too!
Sure will be Bob...look forward to seeing your new "dolphins" and dash tray. You wont notice much difference in Freckle though... How's Skippy coming along>
So far not particularly fast but the guy who is doing the welding lost his wife last November and is caring for his two daughters on his own. Also January was his late wife's birthday so a very difficult month for him and his children. He's had the van since early January but I'm still hoping it'll be sorted by the end of February. Edit: I've just read that and how callous do I sound. He's a really nice guy and doesn't live far from me so I've popped over just for a chat a couple of times.
Don't worry Bob... I know you're not the callous type! I was going to state that progress on Freckle has been slow coz 'life get's in the way sometimes', but rather that than what you're poor welder's had to cope with! Hope to see you in the spring sometime!
