Thank you!
The height of the bed clears the arch, it’s the sides of it that need modifying.

Thank you - that’s what I was hoping to be able to use the holes already there
Not sure if you've made templates yet but look up "contour gauge" on the usual sites, used this to copy shapes for flooring and tiling in the past.
For something as big as a wheel arch you'll still need a cardboard template but it may make copying the detail easier.

It might have to be.
I fixed our Ply Guys using M6 threaded inserts in the floor and then bolting down to those. But I see your kit doesn't have a flat base floor piece so it'll have to be some kind of 90 degree fix.
Could you add a batten along an edge to give something to screw down through?
Yes, a batten would also work. I’ll have a look about where the best placement would be.
I am already hating the thought of putting holes in the new floor
Back to my brothers workshop for some help!
“Boxed in” the fabric storage unit and oak worktop to finish it off. Needs some osmo
Shelf storage for the fridge and battery home underneath. This section isn’t finished yet.
Originally was going to box it in as well with the oak veneer ply, but it’s easy to get to everything as it is

Got a new gadget for my “curtains” for the sliding windows. The tool makes eyelets.
And also got some magnetic hooks to hang the curtains
I didn’t want the curtains permanently on show so this way they can be folded away when not being used.
Really get the most of the light coming in the windows and the view out without the typical curtains blocking half of it

That's a brilliant arrangement. MrsR has a full eyelet/snaps press (the pliers and hammer dies work great for small jobs, kill your hands when making theatre costume en mass!) wonder what I can try to use it for...

Ordered! Thank you.That bin is from ikea - £3.50! And also a matching dustpan & brush for £1.50
What a great idea! We got our first van for conversion yesterday and I've been reading all your posts.
That’s awesome, make sure you share some pics of your van!
Wow thank you so much
Honestly I didn’t even think I could do any of it, but thought I’d give some things a try. I’ve surprised myself!
