The tractor purchase deffo tips the financials in favour of a pop-top!That does look a lot easier than getting 4x blokes to lift it on!

Started work on overhead cabinets for my caravelle, and as usual with my style, with zero modifications to the van. Just using the grab handle mounting positions.

Fitted this monster today…. along with a 3000w inverter
Now you're talking! Powaaaaah!
You would not think it would fit through the opening.
Yeah that does look like a bit of a pig to fit!
That's what she said...
Don’t know why this pic reminded me of this
It’s funny anyway so I will post it.
Nearly done with one of my overhead cabinets.
Just need to decide where to put my Victron display, I've got a few options...
Here...
Or here
Or below, here...
Hmmm.
The 2nd position was my original thought. It's nice and out the way, no cables visible.
To give you an idea of the space up there, that's a large saucepan, and a Vango sizzle single induction hob in there.

Underslug water tank fitted today, pure hell but it's in. Few bits to finish off but ran out of hose for filler.
Cabinet, done! Still needs to be finished off and painted, and there's a load of cable management needed in there too, but I need to use the van tomorrow. And I'll use it as is for a little while in case I need to make any changes.
In my old T6 I had the Ovano rear seat base cover with USBs.
Disappointed with the brightness of the T6.1 rear step lights I wanted to try something a little different. Also whilst I was at it, I rewired the step lights off the rear lights so I can switch them off at the same time as the rear lights. I have fitted the small 300W converter under the passengers seat and controlled via a switch so it won’t run the starter battery. I have a Jackery for anything more than a laptop charger so not looking to fit a leisure battery:

Nice! Just a tip, you'll probably want to fit a dimmer switch, unless you want to be blinded from below! LED's at night on full power are just too bright.
That wasn’t long after his open day looking at the unit.
Fitted the superb @Nutexa Frictions 6 Pot setup complete with 370mm 2piece discs and braided lines. Replaced rear pads whilst I was at it as the ones that where is gave of more dust than a Dyson with a blown seal.
Epic bit of kit! Massive thanks to Alan @Distinctive Dubs for the custom colour coding in VW Energetic Orange... Man's an artist
