I've knocked up a table using an off-cut of MDF and covered it with the left-over of the Silver Vinyl that I used as a wallcovering in the kitchen area. This has a screw-off leg and folds away behind the crew-seat when not in use. It also sits across the battery-box seat as part of Josh's bed. The third bed (Josh's) is now formed by swivelling the front passenger seat facing rearwards and reclining the back flat with the headrest removed. The table has 2 battens on the underside that sit each side of the battery-box seat to locate it & prevent it from slipping off. I am using a roll-up self-inflating camping mattress that sits over it all when in place. Similar to the main double-bed, takes less than a minute to put up.....

| I refitted the original ambulance 12v map-light that is on a bendy stem. This looks like it will be quite useful as it is bright & very versatile. It is positioned over the table area, but bends to a variety of places.......  |
I've also tidied up the fuse panel area, and made a proper click-shut access door for it. I've cut a bit of foam from the old over-cab ambulance doors to make a backrest for the 'battery box seat' and covered it with some of the old grey carpet that covered the now removed cab partition. I've also lined the battery box seat and surrounding MDF with the last remnants of the carpet and started on the last bits of exposed cream-fibreglass from the ambulance interior with my grey van-lining material. The cupboard doors have eventually been trimmed & fitted to the over-cab storage area. Part of the off-cuts have been used to make the backrest to the 'battery box seat'.

| The 3000w inverter supplies power to the microwave, kettle, toaster, water-heater and the 240v sockets for additional appliances (hairdryer, straighteners etc.). It vents from the front (socket side) and out back (battery side). It sits on 2 x 140ah leisure batteries that are charged via the roof-mounted solar panel. I have replaced & rewired the inverter on/off switch to an illuminated one on my control panel. This allows you to see that it is switched on, and acts as a reminder not to leave it on. I have also wired the inverter through my Mains Contactor, so as to share the same mains wiring & sockets. The contactor also has a switching relay that disables the inverter once the mains hook-up is attached.
