| I'd never have thought of closing off the cab like that, are you fitting a sliding door to make the hab warmer at night? | |

| Morning Kev, and yes I will be making and fitting a sliding door to go on the cab side, so that it slides behind the passenger seat. On B and C class motor-homes the cab is the biggest problem for losing heat. The cab heaters were never designed to heat the whole van up, and even without the door, my cab is considerably warmer | |

| I was puzzling how you could make it neat, and cheap, I wonder if a couple of full extension drawer slides might just do it, a few lengths of the brush type draught excluder to keep it warm, magnets to keep it closed/open. | |

| Have now got my nuclear power station fitted, flue for the trumatic heater, ceiling fitted, and started lining out. Feel like I'm getting somewhere now! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| I have done a little more to the van since Marbury, which was a really good rally, and sorted some of the rush work that I did to get on the road. A new font for the over-cab storage.
