No much has been happening due to waiting on parts. But here is a update of what I have been doing.
When I fully weld out the water tank frame I'll snap some pictures of it before reinstalling it

Been a bit of a gap in the build.
But here is our latest update.
I'll put together a walk around to catch up on all the other bits that have been done soon

It's very strong yet also light.
Was very easy to work with.

That would have been stressful to say the least. Ambient temperature here was in the single digits
Yep, was seriously considering cutting out the glue the next day and starting again due to gaps but ended up with a workable result,having cold glue was a rookie error in hindsight, made it harder to dispense which slowed us down and shortened the working time even more. All looks ok now it's flashed.
I keep telling the wife the next build will be easier/better/quicker, she keeps saying she hopes my next wife will enjoy it too

Adding the habitat made the truck look like a steggles truck, but adding these soon changed that.

Adding the roof was a quick but important step, we were fairly nervous about this bit.
But it went on fairly easy

In this clip we fit up our 'garage' doors to access the area under the bed from outside the habitat.
We used thetford locker doors as we liked that they utilise the existing composite panel as the fill.
A nice product with easy to follow instructions and good quality templates.
