Hi there Donnymaree nice to hear from you and hoping that all is good with you and your chesney . The genie has not had a good hit out yet only 1hour running 1400 watt convection cooker and light and this it handled very well. Kiwijim has same genie and is currently away ,he will be the one to ask when he returns regards Peterg

G'day Peter,

Wow!! What an amazing difference!

You've certainly done a great job on the inside. It's as good as a penthouse suite in a swanky block of apartments. Well done! ;D

Are you sure a cheap generator is good enough to go with the van? I reckon you deserve something with a Rolls Royce sticker on it.

cheers,
Al.

Thanks AL dont know about being a penthouse but it certainly will be able to get us around and provide us with the basics such as our shower and be able to be self sufficient to do some bush camping ;D ;D have some more photos of our progress regards Peterg

That is awesome, you've done an amazing job.

I'm curious, how much does doing this sort of thing cost?

I understand that there would be a lot of variable as to quality of products extra, but maybe just a ball park figure......

cheers
Donna

Hi Donnymaree sorry its taken me a while to get back to you have been busy getting van ready for rego tomorrow and finishing off all the little bits that seem to take forever. As for cost its $10,000 so far that is for everything ,so fridge generator $1700 van originally $1000 so $7300 for reno and this has been to a budget,it is very easy to blow out if not careful, hope this answers your questions . Hi there Bees same reason for not being social lately ,just been really busy hope to catch up soon regards Peterg

I am new to this site but we are doing a very similar job as you on the same model van. have pics on the vintage site under margras chesney. my van seems to have the door a bit further back because it had a bed up front and it is 19'6 on the body.
