Everything is moving depressingly slowly at the moment. I went out a visited the workshop of the guys doing the box this morning. They are still waiting for the composite panels. They are due in 1-2 weeks time and it will take a little over a week for them to fabricate and spray the box from that point. This is actually slightly faster than they had originally said. On the very small plus side, they have completed the sub frame and sprayed the cab.
To try and address my frustration I went on a buying spree!
Retail therapy works for my wife and two daughters, so I thought it was time to give it a go.....
"Single wheel" conversion
5 Silver painted 8.25 x 19.5 wheels (+ 98mm offset) @ XXX
5 x 285/70 R 19.5 Continental HDR tyres @ XXX
2nd hand Webasto 5Kw diesel water heater (ebay)
Sterling Pro universal Alternator regulator (ebay)
Sterling ProCombi 2500w Sine Wave inverter and 70 amps charger (ebay)
Seitz windows and roof hatches ( 8)
Frames for all the hatches
Dometic HB2500 AirCon unit
Hob and extractor
Waeco 140l compressor fridge
All stuff for US RV style "bog" aka toilet
All the internal and external lights
and a bunch of other related stuff.
I know this looks like a bit "shoot from the hip" but there is an anally retentive plan behind it all. Honest!....
Buying it all at the same time pushed it into trade prices which made a big difference. Plus it simplifies the shipping to this bankrupt island on the north west of Europe.
