This is absolutely excellent progress, how hard was the awning rail to install? i used split conduit in mine, i have a load left over if you would like it. Good luck with the windows.Cheers for this. Did you go for split or unsplit conduit?

You're fooling no-one - you're just emulating VW's leaky windows, aren't you!Today has been hard. Lots done but stupid errors.

Oh FFS!i drove the van into the Mrs car...
15mm is pretty thick for the floor. Most people use 12mm, I’ve gone for 9mm. That thickness may cause issues when it comes to fitting new side step and rear threshold cover. Plus there’s a considerable weight increase.
Sure you can absolutely use it as a starting point. As I mentioned, I have a few refinement ideas in mind and you may not need the same level of access from the top so don’t need so many individual pieces for the bed platform if you’re happy making some bigger hinged sections or just always access through the rear door(s).
Mine currently has four extendable legs fitted to the extension piece and it’s fixed in place with Velcro straps. I’d like to design floating supports or use more metal drawer runners but was undecided which direction to go and needed something ready for the Grand Prix.
A major constraint I had was wanting to sit comfortably on the platform and I don’t have a pop top. I’m 6’3” with short legs so you can imagine I needed a low platform so I didn’t have my neck bent the whole time. That’s why the upright sections are only 376 high. I can still fit multiple ikea Samla tubs under the bed platform, plus an Alpicool fridge and apparently a trelino toilet if I ever choose to pull the trigger on buying one.
