Fitted a rear dashcam yesterday and today I've put in the rubber seal over the 'chasm of doom' between dashboard and windscreen as well as hard wired in my solar controller, made up and fitted all associated wiring and tried out my renogy folding panel. Electrics are totally not my thing so a massive shout out to @Dellmassive for his 'how to' guide. 
And I am pleased to report I didn't set fire to my van. Things are looking up. I've also booked my first little trip away, just a couple of nights in the New Forest on Sunday. Just to try everything out. Can't wait.

Just to try everything out. Can't wait. Do you have any more details about the fault as mine plays up randomly. Only seems to be since I fitted the plywood with carpet so no new screws. Thank you.
Washed it, first time since late September, every time I've had a day off it's been either raining or bright sunlight.
Got up this morning, looked out of the window and thought "yay, I can wash the van at last"
You guessed it, half way through and it started pi$$ing down, this weather's not funny anymore.

Hi all another update from today
Firstly had a few samples through in regards soundproofing think if I keep ordering another 8 months enough to do the whole van
Apart from that took the first big step in my conversion and dropped the t6.1 into cosmic campers Derby to have poptop electric work and windows fitted
I must say that up till now the service has been spot on a great little bit of software to track any quotes and questions back and forward
I was greeted today and we discussed all of the works
So will keep you up dated on progress as vanny goes though it’s transformation

That coffee machine is a bit of cool 3D-printing!
looks great, how low did you go??
Hey @PaulR83 - did you get this finished? I am thinking of doing the same with my layout so i can put my MTB sideways on a shelf at the bike same as your idea. If you have any updated pictures i'd love to see them!
Had it serviced for the first time, 2yrs old, in-line with the dash variable servicing, everything is fine.
Omg is that what you need to do for installing heated seats ? Glad I have them already
Make sure you lock them doors as someone may drive away in that
I just installed this awesome awning rail - it uses the stock roof bolts and it’s so inconspicuous. Very happy.

We got the same rail as you (fantastic product) and followed this. Better than getting a leak.

It's great isn't it. I have the same and followed the suggested guide on how to fit it. Although I think I'm going to add some Invisi tape along the edge of the van to avoid any surface a scratches. Probably not noticeable on a white van but can see some tiny ones on my starlight blue.I just installed this awesome awning rail - it uses the stock roof bolts and it’s so inconspicuous. Very happy.
