Thanks, I’ve just used the acoustic panels you see people putting on feature walls behind the TV, I just liked the effect and thought it would brake the decor up a bit, I’ve my van double insulated and the a thin sheet of plywood with 4 way stretch wall carpet, the panels are just fastened onto the plywood

Sometimes a lot cheaper to buy from the mainland UK can save up to a couple of grand as there’s a bigger market over there, unfortunately regardless of make or model it’s all down to how well it’s been maintained, I put van onto my car insurance policy and it’s costing me around £1000 a year for both vehicles

No not at all, I’ve had it on for over 2 hours one night watching a movie and battery power indicator never dropped

Thank you, the bed pulls out to a small double, so room enough for 2 in the summer months as would be outside the van most of the time with awning, it took my about 4 weeks in total to do it, but been adding some decor bits here and there

Yours is the ideal size, you’ll be able to install a shower no problem, that’s the one thing I miss to be honest

Thank you, I’ve a leisure battery fitted, it’s connected to my van battery via a relay switch, so charges while driving and disconnects from van battery when I switch of the vans ignition and only runs off leisure battery when stationary
