Very, very nice.
The door grab rails are a good idea - are they for tea towels?
Also, in th etop pic it looks like your cooker, rolls, slides, pivots forward - what did you do there?
Cheers

Its a kind of Devon interior clone with some personal touches. The cooker cabinet swings out on a hinge post by the cargo door:

Nice, nice work mate.
So I am presuming you stripped it all out again for the body work/spray job?
Looks real nice.

Thanks for nice words - too kind
The awning is called a Khyam Motordome Tourer, yes it has the opening at the back to get in the van - stick Khyam as a search into SSVC and you'll get all sorts of info and opinions on these and other awnings.
I got it from the UK - great time to buy with the exchange rate
Yeah, took me a slow 2 years to build the interior then took it all out whilst the bodywork was being done - tis the only way
Cheers, Sam
