Now that's a kitchen!
Just because it's a campervan doesn't mean you can't live in luxury.

She's out of the paint shop and boy is she looking beautiful.

A fresh new paint work along with a full custom conversion has really transformed this 2005 ex ambulance into a great campervan.

Few bits still to finish off still, all ready for the new customer next weekend!

ROOF ROOF... Yeah that joke again.
I've finished off sorting out the electrics for the whole van, replaced sockets with new usb outlets.
Carpeted the whole roof and inside the overhead cupboards.
All the lights are up including a door activated light (posh I know)
Long days but I love it!

It wasnt the best weather but good enough to insure I'd solved the water leak in the roof, I've since re insulated and clad the roof ready to carpet.

I also made a start on the electrics, which are fun :p

I can't wait to get my new workshop at the start of April!
