Thank you for taking the time to read through the blog and also to respond with such kind words. I'm lucky in that I have no ties and have also lived abroad in times gone by. The simple answer is to just do it, but everyone's circumstances are different. Don't worry about having the latest and...

I'd have thought, that depending on the size, you get an extra window to look out from.

Hi guys, I thought I'd post up a little, work in progress, blog of a recent trip to Morocco. It was my first time to Africa in a stock Nissan Terrano 2, 2.7tdi. I had no plans, no expectations and no limitations. There's also a more in depth photo page of the full trip if you click the links. I...

That's cool.

Thye're actually tidier than some of the furniture I've got in the house. :luxhello:

Looking good for a first attempt, and no one can ever take away the fact that you did it yourself. Like me, you have surface mounted the angles for support, when I next take mine to bits and have somewhere nice and warm to work, I'll be recessing them so there are no obstructions when I slide...

And that's what it's all about. It's a great looking job that's made the camper more useable and comfortable and you have the satisfaction of knowing that you designed and made it. :luxhello:

That's brilliant DiscoDavis. A good looking set of drawers.

Today's fettling has seen the introduction of a hinge to provide access to the space between the box and wheel arch, and it worked first time. :) 100storage by Simon Carter, en Flickr Everything fits. Everything works. Time to disassemble, sand it and finish any rough edges and then treat it...

Thanks very much for the comments, I'm humbled in such an inspirational thread. There's some excellent builds in here.

Mine's coming to an end at the moment. I have a permanent bed and improved storage without losing much space. As the storage has improved, I can live with losing a little space. 94storage by Simon Carter, en Flickr The bed frame simply slides out. 95storage by Simon Carter, en Flickr And then...

When did you learn? Those dovetails are excellent and have the mark of a mastercrafstman with many years experience. Looking forward to the finished pics.

Finally went for it and did this today. 2015-07-16 18.55.55 by Simon Carter, en Flickr 2015-07-16 19.52.31 by Simon Carter, en Flickr More pics here https://www.flickr.com/photos/96036923@N05/sets/72157653596979273 It's not finished yet as there are still some rough edges and teething problems...
