Well Kaye is willing to give WC another go, which is great, esp as other day she wouldnt set foot in it ever again................ lol
Now from our weekend away, i must admit, i found storage space lacking and poor (from my design for a single guys van). and im going back to i think the more traditional layout. sink/cooker along one side, and toilet cubicle along the other.
Thanks to scotsy, i have a nice 4 ring burner to replace my 2 ring, a bigger and better fridge, and a oven. so its a case of just removing my old lot and from scratch building a frame (i need to buy a small sink, as the sink i have is one piece unit with the 2 ring and grill, seems a shame to slice it off, i will stick it on freecycle once its out)
The seating and bed is sorted, its solid and its where i store the sleeping bags, i guess i can work out where to put the pots/pans etc, in the cuboard round the cooker etc. but its things like shoes and wellies.
Im wondering how people store things, so they are in the same place and easy to get too each time (we kept forgetting where we put things etc, and then tripped over them!) so im thinking cuboard space etc.
I def need good lighting, so anyone who has bought and used and can recommend which ones to get off ebay that would be great, so i get it right first time. I guess once i have removed everything from the inside, its the best time to fit them.
seen those bolt down little safe boxes, are they as good as they say, and wheres the best place to put them? i guess somewhere where you cant take a swing with a hammer at it or lever it.
So thats it really, any tips or esp advice on not how to do things, from ideas you have found yourself would be great.
I might even have a go at putting in a extra window, for more natural lighting and that more space feel.
Where you store your twin batts and electrics too, i might has well get a matching pair when i get to that stage, just to be on the safe side.
Many thanks for hints and tips, Kaye has sort of come round to letting me have another go at doing it, and if it passes her standard then its more weekends away
she sort of felt bad, as we had to give a interview to the cops, as when we got home, someone had cut through the hook up cable to the van (had nasty neighbours for over a year), so that tripped the house electrics and ruined everything in both freezers. And the woman copper said she likes older home DIY vans and weekends away herself lol.
