That looks great @17triton . Love the material. I'm a tad confused as to why, though? It won't keep the light out at night. Or is it to keep prying eyes from "adult time" lol. I have to ask, where is the doona cover from. I am looking for something similar for my van. Love the colours! And love the anti slip matting on the tops of the cupboards. I am such a newbie lol would never have thought of that

Adult time ????lol lol lol

. As Jim said its just when you get out of the shower to dry. Unhook it when not needed. Doona covers from Kmart and shower curtain/screen from Spotlight.

I'm interested in the non slip on top of the cupboards. I guess it stays there all the time and wouldn't affect the pop top drop? And to make sure the stuff put on top of cupboards stays where it's put? TV etc?

It's a good idea, methinks.

Just stops things moving a bit and protects from scratching as well.

Also have the non slip matting on top of cupboards/shelves and works a treat...... Could've used a steel ruler when cutting it @17triton :behindsofa:

Made a bit of a start on the toolbox fit up tonight. I still have to make the gas bottle mounts and get the gas fitter to plumb up.

We've had three trips away in a bit over a month. 3 nights at Beaufort , 5 nights at Dimboola for Easter and a couple of nights at Lake Tooliorook off the grid. The van has been great. With my work I rotate through weekends so have to juggle a bit. Not going away for a month or so but have to get the toolbox done and get the diesel heater in so we can use it right through winter.

Hey Mate!
Great Looking Van
Top Mods!
Looks alright behind the Triton too.

Hi @17triton , van looks great. You done some good mods, you've been busy. Keep up the good work !

I was lucky enough to receive a message from @mrsmfexpanda that she and @mfexpanda were coming up to Ballarat and wanted to catch up. And what better timing for a bit of welding from the master. @mfexpanda being someone who welds everyday was more than happy to help out. I can weld but it ain't pretty and with the combination of gal and mild steel I was happy that he could weave his magic.

And after an hour or so this is what I have! Just need to paint it and get it plumbed up. A huge thanks to @mfexpanda for giving me his time up to help me out and make the job a "professional " job at that. Thanks mate.

Finally got a chance to finish off the diesel heater install. Been flat out at work so good to get back to the van. This heater is brilliant and look forward to testing it out right through winter.
