More Owner/Slave collaboration. I drew up the model. Anita cut and glued the blocks of modelling foam together. Then set the tools and indexed the block. The CAM file was loaded and away the machine went for the day. First a rough cut and then a finishing one. So much work for just two...

12kw boiler David. :)

Back on the co-pilots seats today. All was going well until the water cooled TIG torch hose exploded. I did think the torch was getting warm and it would soon be time for a new one. Anyways I've done enough to prove a point and I think it will work. It will be bolted to the seat mounting...

All storage, remember you must comply with your owners wishes ;) The cooker will sit next to it.

Have you a link to your sprung hinges Phil?

This is the kitchen sink unit with positions for eight drawers, the ninth being a dummy for the sink bowl. Hafele Metal Drawer System 400 x 150mm (toolstation.com) for the bottom six. Hafele Metal Drawer System 400 x 118mm (toolstation.com) for the top two. I'm thinking 6mm buffalo for the...

Inspiration please, all ideas welcome.

I just love your fabric lined cutlery storage. It's those little details that makes me smile.

As usual, just a lash up. These are the water heated radiators. In time they will be mounted to housings that will feed the blown air heating. So much more plumbing than I expected. Still the Calorifier and the shower room heated towel rail to plumb. Shower room needed first ;)

Made a start on the internal plumbing today. I decided to put some foil covered adhesive backed foam first. All of this will be buried with furniture later. Just a quick mockup at the moment. I want to prove for myself I’m not being stupid. It looks like it will work, so I’ll do more in the...

If you have to put stickers on the sides, make one that looks like a window! As for insurance, it's an agreement between you and the insurance company. Betty is insured as a motorhome, but not on the road as not finished.

I try not to think of costs whilst working on Betty, as I sure the tears would make the job tougher! Still no end in sight.

I wouldn’t have some old boiler in the van with me ;)

The book “Travel Vans” has a section on reverse osmosis water cleaning.

Still very slow progress, I’ve finally got hot water from the engine and eberspacher inside. At least this allows me to progress the hot water heating. Anita managed to get in on the act buy soldering some copper fittings. Always good to keep your skills honed. I’ve ran two 22mm bore silicone...

I like the ticking

Off topic, but if your mind can wonder a bit not. Whilst researching various options about a dc or mains powered fridges many years ago. I came across some boat stuff where you could buy all the refrigeration bits for about £600 and make your own cabinet to refrigerate.

Just a bit of trivia, Anita has been in communication with a fabric manufacturer for Betty. We have a sample of a colourful fabric for the seats and other bits. She decided to talk to them today as we couldn’t find a product that ticked the boxes for the bulk of the trim. Funnily enough they...
