We got a memory foam topper for the boat... can't remember where we got it from though..

They are expensive, but worth it, adds to the insulation too.

This is the worrying bit....

I'll have a look for some this week, cheers.

Awesome...

Thats a good bit of development!

Insperational to other owners who may want to sleep out in their motor for a night or two.
Well thought out.

Mines off the road until next week so going to have a good measure up over the weekend of my boot as I really want to fit in a raised floor with draws

I hope you're not thinking of a quick and cheap solution, this stuff is addictive.

Well I do like to do things on the cheap if I can

but I do like working with wood. It'll have to be built in 3 sections rear 2 will hold a draw each & the section behind the rear seat will hold my sub box & amp which will have protective covers so the whole raised floor can be used

Have a nose for ideas in here, http://www.expeditionportal.com/foru...storage-system.
I can get lost for days in there, it's brilliant what people have done.

That's a fantastic site & great for ideas

often spend hours looking through old posts or reading the adventures

Did you make a start on anything Sweety?

don simon · 23-11-2015, 11:17

Legs almost completed, I managed to find someone to make the two piece legs that look the part. The coach bolts are for testing only, once length is sorted we'll be getting them made properly.

Photos of it mounted when it's warm enough to gou outside.

Well that took a while.
Here's some photos of the barbecue fitted. I've managed a few longish journeys and it seems to be holding up.

The legs are used to support the bowl through the spare wheel. They need to be a bit shorter in order to allow a better locking system which is currently lock nuts and a bit of cabling to prevent absolute disaster if the coachbolt give up.
Ultimately with shorter legs, the wheel should sit flush to the wheel and give me space to store the tripod and grate in there.

Looks good, if you ask me and it works very, very well. Throw on some charcoal for a barbie, then chuck on some logs afterwards for a warm evening. It was used to heat up a fuel can's worth of water for a shower, so even earning its keep in the mornings.

Even gets plenty of comments an nods of approvel from campsites when people figure out what it is.
