SOME PICS BELOW
Morning David -Yes the front double will be changed to a single
and then both will be swivel --got some seats from a Renault which Julie will be covering sometime this week and Colin coming down to measure up for a new single seat base,and any alteration for the drivers seat base ----Sparkle board is just what it says =plastic boards with spar kley bits in it for the shower =quick wipe down =all nice and clean.This one is white with grey,blue,green,silver and gold sparkles depending on the viewing angle Hi Terry brilliant that you've gone for large fridge freezer, (would be the one thing that would put me off downsizing as not many p.v have them) now you have the microwave you 'll be able to fill it with ready meals no need for cooker 
to see if he's missed something because we have installed temp tanks for the water side of things -It's coming on wirring away like a good un just not firing up -simply shuts down after 20 seconds or so -if HE DOES NOT FIND ANYTHING then the whole unit will get exchanged for the other one we have -unfortunately Paul never got to see either of them wired in so he's working blind until I sent him the link 
I am confident he will sort it 
Made the base unit and dismantled it for fitting later -got to formica the worktop and make another for the fridge /freezer top -may as well do the formica in one go 
He's left me with instructions where he wants a wire putting before I fix the base unit in place -I have made the loo/shower front and door so now I have to finish off the sparkle boarding inside it Make the top cupboard doors and the bed --The only thing that looks any different is the bit of boarding I made for all the wires and switches to go onto above the sliding door, which I have got to insulate and finish off before I put the base units back in place or I won't be able to get to it once the units done 
Another weekend should see it 95% finished only problem is it's going to be 4 weeks before I stop gallivanting around to spend another weekend on the van Pics to follow when you can see something s been done
-After it stopped raining I went out and slowly got started on the shower room front and the wardrobe front -I also completed the shower/loo door just to see what it looked like -I like it so it could be crap in others eyes Anyway I cut all the other wall unit doors to size and stuck the face finish on ready for trimming and edging tomorrow weather permitting -Paul arrived on his way home from work and tried a couple of things on the hydronic heater-no luck so whole unit was replaced and this fired up on the second attempt After clearing its throat it runs sweet Paul said he knew he had wired it all up good so it made his day and off he went after spending all of 25 mins on it -he managed a coffee though
it's the selling them that's hard
-could not manage to do the edging in one piece so it had to have joint's on it None left to do the loo unit/w/top bit but I have a couple of sheets of different stuff and at least it's in the loo so not seen together I was not sure it would look right for the F/F door anyway -
so a modification has been made to the fresh tank home and not quite sure where or if the waste tank will fit if at all -
or at least bemused 
I wish yesterday I got soaked to the skin 3 times --putting tools etc away just as the rain started but within a min it was lashing down -then 10 or 30 mins later sun out -on my third soaking I called it a day as soon as the last bit or formica edging was stuck and trimmed --Will keep you all informed on the wins/losses as they happen-at least that way anyone wanting to build can see what's involvedain't you finished it yet ,what ya been doing laying in the sun all day
He doesn't like Formica for lunch only steering wheelsThere should be a caption to the pic of the dog looking at the mess on the floor "WHAT THE "
"Cant leave him on his own for more than 5 minutes"
Time you built a carport to work under, hee hee. shame about the formica expencive stuff.I wish yesterday I got soaked to the skin 3 times --putting tools etc away just as the rain started but within a min it was lashing down -then 10 or 30 mins later sun out -on my third soaking I called it a day as soon as the last bit or formica edging was stuck and trimmed --Will keep you all informed on the wins/losses as they happen-at least that way anyone wanting to build can see what's involved

BTW the lump hammer is for weight only
The pipes expanded to twice there size and some joints started to weep so as soon as they leaked both me and Paul were on them tightening them up and I mean several leaks that were water tight when cold Any way final staw was when one of the expanded pipes simply split shower us and almost all of the rear in very hot water inc all the electrics After a coffee and think a decision was made to redo then all in push fit plastic pipes,so off I went a few hundred yds down the road to beg some plastic pipe off my mate the plumber we have hundreds of fittings so only the pipe was needed -Long story short Kev recommended us using copper pipe and compression fitting no plastic =simply too hot for it --Got the copper pipe and fittings and we re did all the hot pipework -Thursday t time I shot down to knollbeck for a couple of bits they had in only for me to spy a slatted bed -how much? I will have it Then walked around the cnr and theres a 4'6" pull out slatted bed also -how much? same price so I end up having the slatted bits and to remake the beds This in turn made my van 2 ins narrower on each side so I could not get Johns (jaws) bike in which I promised to bring with me to Thretford so Thursday night 7 pm in goes Johns bike into my Vito and away I go to Thretford arrive at 10,10 ish drop off bike and drive back home knowing we have a full day on Friday to get the van usable for me for the weekend Edit forgot to say with my new slatted bed bits remade 
Yesterday I got around to hanging the doors and after the weekend showing people what I was going to do with 6 out of 7 people telling me not to go white and stick to wood -I did them in white Now Snowbird Dave and Pat called to pick some stuff up today and Dave though the white plastic was a protective film I had put on the doors 
after they left I went across to Julie's and got her to come over for another opinion -then Paul called and the upshot is I am re making all the doors Below is a couple of pics of them in white
