what cooking facilities do you have ?
i use a coleman petrol stove as it runs on chainsaw fuel which i allways have.the gas cookers can be hard to fuel.the stove i have runs on most fluids that burn...

Separation caging in
Platform done and spare inside
Getting some carpet
Mattress is in, perfect fit
Framing it
Fridge and gas bottle mounted
From the back
Is that a pull up bar???
Seats mounted
Getting there..
Plate on
Test drive to see how the steering is
Where once there was my Defender, now there is none..*
That should do for now, hahhaha. I got out of the UK, but there are still a few bits I was too impatient to wait for. So the car is about 95% at the moment. I will have some things posted to me and I still need to sort out everything inside, it's a disaster at the moment as I just threw everything into the back on the mattress to catch a ferry from Dover!!

do yourself a favour and fit some slats under the mattress so it dont get damp,you need air under it....

Thanks for the tip, I need to give it some thought because the mattress is quite soft and I think it would just absorb slats. Maybe I'll have to cut some ventilation into the platform..

Fantastic stuff yeh lucky bastid
I would like to have access through the Dog guard for putting/getting stuff and even better if you could get through it your self so you can drive off in the middle of the night if attacked by the enemy.
Best of luck have a good trip and keep us posted.
Cheers Jason

From the ride down through France in the snow:
Finally made it to Italy full of salt from the roads:
Cleaned up a bit:
Still waiting on one decal and the proper top for the snorkel.. Once those are on I'll take some proper photos..
