    What is the material?

    Camper interior

    I had this made by a joiner friend for my van. The engine is now in the way so this lot is for sale. It is unfinished and needs sanding and painting. Includes the cushions, 2 burner hob (never been used) and a dog bowl sink. £100 for it all.

    Just been to get the van out to attend the local cruise. Turns out that the local stray cat has got in the garage and used the van as a litter tray. Absolutely stinks. 3 tubs of baking powder are now sprinkled everywhere, hopefully soaking up the odours

    Well it wouldn't run without the key in the "lights" position so I dug in with the multimeter and found two wires on the wrong terminals of the key switch. It now fires up on either position, the lights work and it switches off with the key. Winner.
