Starting on the Insulation

Remaining pieces of bulkhead frame removed at the weekend, these had to be drilled out and the bottom piece cut out with an angle grinder.  Jude doesn't trust me with dangerous tools because I'm such a clumsy oaf, but we counted the fingers out and we counted them all back in again and I'm happy to confirm that all digits are accounted for.


















Our eBay purchases have started to arrive daily now, from seat fabric to fuse box and a 140 amp split charge relay.  We also bought some funky multi coloured LED strip lights from B&Q, marked as "low voltage" and as expected they run on 12 volts without the mains transformer.






Tonight we made a start on the insulation.  The plan is to insulate and carpet line at least the passenger side rear quarter before the bed goes down, as fitting insulation and lining with the bed in place would be awkward.













One layer of Airtec foil lined bubble wrap insulation stuff on the floor and we then screwed the floor ply back down.  A section along the driver's side wall will have to be removed at some point to drill holes in the floor for waste water, 10mm feed from starter battery to leisure battery, and the gas drop-out.





Flashing tape to deaden vibrations followed by the first layer of Airtec on the ceiling, the plan is to add another layer and then construct a lightweight foamex board headliner.
