Also the 5 seats are more bolstered so not as good to sleep on ......we will see ....
Our bus has a rock and roll bed so thats our sleeping sorted so I might at some time go for the mx5 items
Wasp is looking good I must say , I see your insulating the sides , do you mind me asking what your using and are you fitting it to the inside of the outer panel ? I'm thinking g of doing this myself at some stage when time allows :D

Hi Brian I thought I answered this but obviously didnt push Submit!
Using double bubble foil two layers directly onto the inside of the outer panel. Easier if you put the foil over the outside of the van panel when marking it out to cut,just draw around the panel with a permanent marker then trim up when fitting to the inside.Then I will cover the decorative trim panel rear with a single layer of double bubble. Use a high temp spray adhesive else it will detach when the panel gets hot.
Good luck :)

Thanks for the insulation advice bongolia ,
I've looked at it at the weekend and there seems to be some insulation behind the cupboards so that should help but I'll probably increase this at some point .
We are planning to bring the bus to France in the next couple of weeks for a few days and do a bit of Spring camping so this well help decide whether it needs more insulation or not :lol:
Thanks again
Brian
