Here will be half of my Victron setup, 3000va,12volt,120amp charger inverter, 2x lynx (battery in/out) the 4 cable one is from the 4 old batteries I had, cable is 40mm so rated to 300A, new setup will only have 2x200AH Victron so I'll remove 2 sets of cables and as the Multiplus accepts 2x...

On springs without air With 2bar And 3ish bar, I can go to 4 but I only run low on the road unless I need the extra lift at the back Again something for next year set of van loaded 16" alloys. Like the look of the MSW 45 with some swamper BFGs :D

Kayak will be down the middle so the useable space under there will be very limited but it was raised for this mainly.

Internal roof is 2.6m so would be pointless head space. Under floor storage isnt for food and plates as such, its for the diesel heater, maybe electrical stuff and also I'm having a 15 foot kayak down the middle of it :D

So I now have enough to start using the van so will only have some minor updates for the rest of the year now. Need to save up for windows/diesel heater and my victron batteries. I've already got the multiplus and 100/500 solar charger. Might look to add 1 or 2 360watt panels that will go into...

So no one guessed the weight, well my first one was 2980kg which isn't that bad

I'll be using it over the winter without, may put up a vapour barrier if required but next year I will be installing the Truma Combi 6DE. So I'm not that fussed at the moment if it costs me a few quick more in diesel for heating. As I get more and more items into the van and keep an eye on the...

I wont be buying anyones seconds, I have my own ideas and plans. My van is a LONG term plan :)

WHAT?

A few reasons, budget is big one, second one is my design is changing as I build so with the windows everything would be set once that hole is cut so I've left enough space and I'll build around it for the time being. I had planned 5 windows, 2 over my bed, 1 big one in the kitchen, 1 side door...

Then I turned my attention to my bed, put down a carpet underlay and again topped off with carpet, Last image is my first weigh in, place your bets and I'll update tomorrow now. I was in the van and 1/4 of fuel

So each of the rear U shaped seating has a hinge so I've got under seating storage, above that is covering with carpet as the base but of course I'll have cushions at a later date. The middle section is lipped so I can place another board to make out a double bed if required.

More and More supplies but U shaped seating coming together and planning massive 1.4m window above kitchen

We have a FLOOR! Only put down vinyl floor see the look, it would be fixed at a later date. Floor base is super light 7kg per each 2.4x1.2
