How have you found the Pioneer head unit? I'm concerned it might be a bit fiddly to use without volume knobs.

I could also do with understanding how the ply floor is fixed down, I am assuming self tapping screws...

I've got a crazy idea of making a metal bed frame that folds up and fixes to the side of the van but I'm not sure yet quite how it will look...
Sorry I ment to get back to, yeah I have no problem using the volume buttons and yeah the ply is fixed with self tapping screws

Made insulated panels for the back windows taped the back window with a sheet of masking tape to make a template for two panels for each windows and added to 1mm aluminium

Insulated with dodomat

Then carpeted

The second panels were buffed and painted mat blackImageImage
Magnetic strips where added to make it easy to ad/remove the panel ImageImage

Hello mate, just a quick question... Which way did you run your wire from the main battery to the leisure battery?

Cheers
