Well the conversion of the van got underway early last week and it has been a struggle if I am honest. My legs do like the positions I am forcing them in and I am unable to kneel so I am having to find ways around it and so far so good.
I am still not finished and I doubt I will be for a couple more weeks yet but I only have to lay a little more of the thermal underlay (there wasn’t enough in one box) and lay the ALTRO VINYL SAFETY FLOORING when it gets here in the next few days.
The hardship has been removing and replacing the cabinet (I collected that from Cardiff on Friday) and the read chairs/bed (I collected that from Bradford on Thursday). I can see that being more of a problem when it comes to putting them in once the Altro Flooring has been laid as it could easily tear.
Anyway, here are a few images of the progress so far, hopefully in sequence.

I can tell you that the rest of the thermal flooring and the Altro Flooring arrived this morning so I hope to have this all done in the coming days!
During the conversion I tried to make a Vlog showing the progress, unfortunately that let to an accident which you can watch on my YouTube channel by clicking on this link:

The plan was to get the floor of the van finished over the weekend. Sadly the weather interfered with those plans and it will be done over the coming Bank Holiday weekend.
Once completed I intend to do a couple of local trips ensuring I have all I need in the van before I start to venture further afield.
I will continue to update you as the build progresses.
