Been cleaning the interior all day and Im still not finished! Walls have come up great but losing the will to live, not to mention a fair few braincells, removing stickers and signs with solvent. Its very satisfying removing 'NO SMOKING' signs whilst smoking though :) Spent ages trying to remove the lockers, but failed.... try again tomorrow, it would really piss me off if they had to stay simply because I cant get the screws out without bursting the ceiling finish! They are not an efficient use of space and are positioned exactly where I'll bang my head on them while in bed, which will never do!
Ebay won again today, Spent £70 on fabric, for blinds/curtains/storage etc. Tomorrow, an expensive trip to Inverness for bits and bobs.
Im concerned there might not be a lot, or even any insulation behind the fibreglass interior (cant see any through the numerous fitting openings), but its too valuable to me, in time and standard of finish, to remove at this point. Im thinking that lined curtains may be required to improve heat loss, with some kind of light penetrating blinds, for privacy without darkness. Will decide once fabric arrives :)
Dan and Adrian have been checking brakes/lights and fiddling with dodgy door handles etc all day... Van is now filled with little bundles of screws and facing panels.... I pressume they know where to put them back :/
Costs - £70 fabric
£557 Carried forward
£627
In our 'white van' camper Rich fitted metallic blinds (made of a plasticky silver metal), that were the right width for the window but he just cut them with scissors at the bottom to shape them to fit the windows. They were great :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the stripy sunshine through these blinds, but how much noise did they make whulst travelling?
