    Thanks Danny. They're quite the challenge huh? But a good one.

    Fantastic work, would you consider fitting a length of rope or paracord to the backs of the bench and draws to stop them accidentally being pulled all the way out of the run? Can’t wait for the next instalment!

    Good idea. I've been thinking of fixing some kind of stopper to prevent just that. 👍

    Well done. You've got some imaginative designing work there. I particularly like the repurposing and the bedroom demarcation barrier. I don't know what your climate is like over there but it seems it does rain. Did you consider water drainage in your window frame design (eg lead) or do you think the overhang suffices? What's that bannings stuff? Is that damp proof foil or? Cheers and thanks for the video.

    G'day Jacob, thanks for the comments. We have been getting more rain than normal recently and it's been a good test overall for the wagon's water tightness. Roof good, always bone dry inside. When fully closed the windows do collect a tiny bit of water on the sill, which is angled down, it doesn't seem to be much of an issue, it dries or evaporates quickly. The top seems to be well protected by the overhang, doesn't get direct water hitting it. My biggest worry is the window glass, single pane and quite old. We had sideways hail the other day and I was watching it thinking, is this gonna bust my tiny, fragile triangle glass sections?! It made it clear that I have to make the shutters operational now instead of just fixed. The blue foil wrap is a perforated (breathable) water vapor barrier for walls, that pretty much all houses in Australia have installed, particularly a weatherboard house. Acts a condensation barrier to keep water off the frame and also has a minimal insulation R value, about 1.3 I think. The un-perforated version gets used on the roof, under the roofing product, wear condensation build up runs down into the gutters. Thanks for watching 🙂

    I’ve been looking forward to this installment. Thanks I built out a van conversion myself. I’m not anything remotely near your skill and imagination … but I’ve been inspired by your work.

    Right, gotcha. That's an external cladding board called Weathertex (here in OZ). It's actually a compressed timber product, impregnated with some form of treatment to make it waterproof/water resistant and then pressed into 2.7m x 1.2m boards, 9mm thick. They come primed already. Really good product and holds up really well in the weather.

    A few names. Sisalation, Sarking, Reflective foil. It's a vapour/weather barrier used on the roof and walls, pre cladding, of pretty much all homes in Australia.

    Hi Connor, thanks for watching. 🙂 If you mean the blue paper fixed to the outside frame? That's a foil, breathable water vapour barrier. Commonly used in Australia to protect a frame from moisture. It also has a low insulation R value contributing to the main insulation used.
