My 74 year old wife died a few weeks ago and I am definitely on the sad side but your banter “arse like a trumpet” made me giggle so THANK YOU very much. You two work well together, just like we did so keep up the good work, you are going to have a great Motorhome at the end of this.

Hilarious! Behind all the hilarity though, is clearly a lot of hard work, careful planning and somehow you still manage to throw in some golden nuggets of information and tips! It is looking good! For the cabinets, why not have a spring hinged lip that goes all the way across? Best of both worlds and could even be left down when the van is stationary. (Edits: spelling and mistypes!)
