Flooring

Been a bit quiet on the van lately. The inside is more or less finished, just a few cosmetic tweeks and finishing touches really.

Managed to source & fit some decent vinyl flooring today.


If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll remember I fitted a scrap piece of roll-end to tide me over for a bit. I was able to use this as a template for the majority of the area, particularly for the rebates & cut-aways.


I removed & sprayed the bright yellow protector plates silver a few weeks back, so they were ready to screw straight back on when I'd finished. Decided to glue some vinyl in the step as well to finish it off.







I originally removed the bright orange grab handle when I lined the wall underneath, and decided to leave it off. However, I found that there was a tendency to grab hold of the seat/bed end panel when you were climbing in, which would obviously weaken it. It was then sprayed satin black and fixed back on.....


I also painted the wheels recently, which were the same bright yellow as the van.
Went for a silver & black look.




Almost ready for painting now, which I'm hoping to get done over the winter period.
Still using the Aquaroll drum in the boot for my water too, so could do with fitting my big on-board water tank at some stage ready for next  season's camping.....
