Thanks Daisy! I used the 3mm Hard glaze boards from Magnums.Its a Formica type finish,with a sheen to it.The plastic sheets sound good too, do you mean the stuff that signs are made of ? they seem to have different trade names for it.Im trying to find some locally for the inside of the back doors.

Cheaper than the cost of insuring as a van ,while converting to a motorcaravan.

Nearly finished fitting the ebber at the weekend ,well it's running and producing hot air! Just needs exaust pipe and trunking to divert the heat into the main area of the van.Im using a Y piece so that the wet room can be heated also.Hopefully finish it by Friday for our trip to Kent to visit family.Also fitted the single seat with a CTA swivel unit.

First test of the ebber and it works fine on the inside,but needs another outlet at the front of the van.Sounds like a jet engine outside though ,as no silencers or exhaust pipe fitted yet! At least it can't get any louder.Hopfully get the exhaust pipe and silencer fitted this weekend.

Yes indeed! I have a mixture of both to use.Now that I've heard it with nothing on,my aim is to see how quiet it can be made.Some people advise fitting a silencer to the air intake as well as the exhaust .

I've been busy today making the kitchen worktop from 15mm birch ply.Its had one coat of finishing oil so far.I also bought another router today as I couldn't find the spanners to change the bit in the first one! Tomorrow I'm hoping to fit the oven and sides for the unit.

The kitchen unit is almost finished! I've had to completely rebuild it as I needed to change the sink to one with a drainer.its all made out of birch ply and it's being oil finished.
