Diary Of A Camper Conversion

Well… I spent the whole morning going door to door, picking up screws, timber, plywood and gas bottles ( with a sneaky set of new t-shirts in there too )

The time has come to cover the wheel wells. I first used a few splodges < technical term] in the butchered holes left by the previous owner. This will keep out the water.

Not much happened on Wednesday, other than a trip to B&Q to get some bits and a large sheet of 18mm ply so that today I could keep going.

This cabinet is going to together a little quicker now I’ve sort of get my eye in with the pocket hole jig and what I can get away with this plywood.

I’m as far as I can go with the bed cabinets so now it’s time to build the sink side of the van. This is one long run of cabinets from front to back but here is a strange metal wobbly bit in the middle of the van. This means I’m going to make it in two sections, starting with the bed end, so at least we have that operational.

Parts all prepared, today should just be putting them all together, right?

When I collected the plywood yesterday, I left the timber merchant a cutting list for some parts I needed for the cabinets. This morning I got a call saying they were ready and so went to pick them up.

So today I picked up some plywood and cracked on with the rear door cards.
