Thanks mate but too much hassle for me to fit a new dash. The converter I bought will do for now. Besides, I'm saving for walnut kit that will hide most of it lol

Well it was delivery day today Inverter (500w) Sink unit and my 8Gb memory stick. So with 1796 songs loaded and plugged into the new DVD stereo headunit I set to work this evening rocking away applying some finishing touches.
Got the sink more or less fitted, just a bit of plumbing to route and an extra 2 water bottles to sort out (once again thanks Colin).
Wired a twin socket and the inverter up with an adapter I can also use campsite electric hook ups. Ill sort an external connector later.
Bought a set of 12 cupboard chrome handles for £9 from the local hardware store who also sourced me two 25 Litre water containers for £7.50, just a pump to get and we will be all plumbed up.
Few little jobs to complete the build now, trim the ceiling to walls with some coving. Rebuild the drawer as its rubbish and doesnt fit properly. sort out how to fix the gas bottle and water bottles in place. Find and fit a toilet and I think were done.
It's sad but me and the Mrs spend a lot of time just sat in the van on an evening in the drive having a drink and a chat and it feels like home, really comfy and suprisingly spacious. Cant wait to try it out at Billing with the big tent attached but we might just sneak a weekend away test beforehand. Anyway heres the latest pics
