Cosy warm part II

Update on interior stuff.

It's nearing the end of a great deal of effort on the interior.  It's been a long process and it's dragged on at times due to only doing work in the evenings.  Because of this, last weekend was a real push to get the van looking the part (a bit more) and less like a van on the inside.  It's been a very long weekend carpeting, fishing cables, taking bits off and putting things back on.

I really wanted it done before Camperjam because Nicole and I would be camping in it again and we both remember how bitterly cold it was last time.  Apart from anything else, the bed is out and I wasn't about to put it back halfway through a job just for a weekend away.

With that in mind, I lined up the tools, watched about a thousand YouTube videos and set to.

Despite watching all those videos, I didn't have the skill required to fit the carpet the way the purists would like - whole pieces for the sides including the wheel arches.  To be honest, I'm extremely pleased with how it has turned out and very proud.  It's incredible how much difference it has made to deaden the noise in the back and it SO much cosier.  Roll on Camperjam '15

Here's the various stages of transformation...
