shower tray, skylight, radiator, lighting and ventilation fan
Electrical Installation
Various stages of the electrical installation; including the batteries, chargers, cabling, etc
Installing the brackets to use the standard army entry steps on my non-army truck. Fabricating and installing the brackets on the tail-lift to store the steps when travelling
Building the nearside bench seat, and installing all of the equipment contained within it.
Finishing the offside bench seat, and installing the inverter and sub amplifier inside.

Fitting the Webasto Thermo Top water heater into the recess infront of the entrance step.
Fitting a cabinet behind the gas locker door, to seal the gas cylinder from the inside of the truck.
Just when I though I was supposed to be filling holes rather than making more, I cut two big vents to let the heat out from behind the fridge
Fitting the last major piece of furniture into the truck, the kitchen. Also housing the water pump, water filter, accumulator tanks, and calorifier.
After having the awning fixed in place many month previously by Brownchurch, I finally got round to fitting the mounts for the storm bars, cutting the bars to length, and adjusting the angle or the canvas.
Water Tanks
Installing the freshwater and greywater tanks, including dump valves and level senders.
Installing a plastic laminate flooring to cover up the steel treadplate.
All of the soft and fiddly things which I did not have the time or the skills to make.
