    @@delhardy71 it's the Macpac deluxe single mat. It's pretty expensive for a self inflating mattress but I haven't seen one that meets the softness. It's kinda stretchy material which makes it really comfy. Inflated: 198 x 76 x 10cm

    hahahaha yep! so many more struggles to come - I had to figure out how to enjoy them and not stress too much - Zen and the art of converting a Delica

    Another good vid mate. Solid design for your build. I'm going to base my around a 2 person bed, so I think I'll do two pull out draws from the back, with the fridge potentially in one of them.

    sounds like a good plan. Dometic have a good drawer fridge that would suit under the bed. Also, if you are in australia, jaycar have some good fridges that you could put a second fridge/freezer up between the driver and passenger seats for extra apce. then if needed you could set one as a freezer for longer trips

    @@ChrisIsOutside - just fitting it out for one. For the first month or 2 I think I will do a simple bed down the side conversion ( might even put a mattress on the existing seats folded down ) to get an idea of what it will be like living in the space and work out what I’m going have to compromise on. Did you give any thought on putting a turntable on the front passenger seat so you could spin it around and use it for extra starting in the van ? I’ve also realised that I’m going need to choose a fridge/cooler and battery solution before I get too far into the proper build as they will need to built in. I look forward to your future adventures..
