What sheeting are you using on the walls in the shower? Looks great! Alupanel Composite, google it. It is the exact same as on our camper though it is semi gloss unlike the shower which is full gloss. |

The 2mm is a similar weight to plywood, the 3mm just a bit heavier but is the 2mm too thin to use? |

Have a chat/ get the spec sheet from the product tech guys, depending on how much framework it is going on makes a huge difference. After all what thickness is the external cladding? If using the 2mm the consider sticking some knee & elbow pads behind those zones, so no kinks if the murphy`s happens & sudden impact into the side walls. #panelspanwidth |

Looking good. What are you using for insulation? Looks like that silver stuff you see on houses?

Looking good. Almost ready to button it up. Assuming you're repainting the siding, what paint is Harry going to use?

It doesn't seem a lot is happening, trust me a lot is happening just you can't see it but it will all come together soon. We have completely refurbished all 7 windows, glass will be ordered this week. Depending on price we may get it toughened.  IMG_4497 by c de Buck, on Flickr First windowed fitted temporarily for photo.  IMG_4498 by c de Buck, on Flickr The front is on, we will be adding Checker Plate as it is badly dented.  IMG_4500 by c de Buck, on Flickr Gas and Plumbing done, just need to fit the water tanks, that will happen this week.  IMG_4499 by c de Buck, on Flickr Mrs hh |

Looking good - once it's buttoned up and weatherproof, it will feel like you're on the home stretch. What's the hole in the side for above and to the right of the water tank fillers? |

Lots to do. Windows tomorrow to dry before putting them in. Get the caravan off the stands and weight it, we have a Caravan Weight Calculator, then order the axle with brakes fitted. Painting outside and fitting all the lights and Solar panel. Roadworthy and Rego. Sigh I think that is all in 4, did I say 4, weeks  Mrs hh |

Yeah, time is getting tight although I'm thankfully on track at the moment with mine and I don't have to have it complete before Corowa, just usable. Looking forward to seeing it all in person. 👍

NO pics as yet... All the lights work as well as the extracta fan We weight the van today, came in at 1350KG, that is however with out the windows in though did have all the tools in, several kg's worth there. Will sort the windows out this weekend and weight it again. Those interested I will keep you posted.
