i don't have any vapor barrier in place, just a couple of little dehumidifier kinda things for when we're away in it, they've done a good job for us, and then because we've only really used it in warm weather, windows have then be open for a while

I plan to add a vapour barrier on the varm side (inside the car) when I insulate, but currently I just crank down both front-door-windows 3-4 cm, such that the opening is not visible from the outside through the Heko wind deflectors. Works surprisingly good, no visible condensation this far after some 20 nights during April-October. Winter is probably quite different.

Well with life being pretty busy, the van took a bit of a back seat. I did however, get a couple of nicer seats in the front last summer.

And then this past weekend picked up a few bits and bobs to keep us going over the upcoming bank holidays!

If in doubt, go flat out!!

Well, taken apart the armrest for cleaning, and also for reupholstering. The mrs is gonna use her fancy sewing machine to pop a new Manx tartan cover on it. Just unsure whether to remove the old one, or just staple over the top of it. If anyone’s done this before please let me know what you did!

Yeah, wasn’t too bad. A couple of torx screws on the bottom and then popping trims and covers off and that’s it. Probably be more trouble getting it back together again!!
