The orange and black looks nice! Where did you get the tent from?

Yeah it's a blow up one so costs 215 with the pump, but looking at some other awnings when go camping is stronger than poled tents.

That's the awning if anybody is interested Image

So picked up some plywood last night and managed to finish of the top this evening.
And mattress fits good, and even though is just 2'' depth is really comfy when lying on it.

So have finally finished the back until come up with some more ideas for it.

But today have upholstered all the top seats in black leatherette, and fitted the orange panel for the electrics, and finally finished of tidying up all the cables so can get stuff in the storage boxes.

And just waiting on the support for where my feet go then all ready for camping next weekend Image

Really good job
Can you tell me what reverse camera and where you mounted it please.
I've got a normal camera but wasn't sure if I should buy one of those no plate bulb holder ones

Is the light output affected?
that's the only thing stopping me from buying one

You need to get a relay and wire that in as something to do with canbus I think. So not enough power to do lights and power the camera.

Yeah was tempted to get one of them but didn't in the end, so can't really comment but does look like it's led rather than bulb so should be just as bright as what was there.

So seen few people on here fitting night eye lights, so bought some then realized you can't directly fit them like you can on the facelift models.

So have had to adapt the bulb holders to fit.

All fitted now and working fine, looks much better than the horrible yellow stock candles.
