      I wear black a lot of the time in summer but it's usually loose and airy. Some gym wear is made to absorb moisture and then evaporate. But I must admit it does look hot and stifling.

    Guys the heat is a subject worth discussing, I cant believe how much youve gotten done considering this heatwave and what youre working in. It is hard enough to survive less than 2km from a bunch of beaches, buggered if Id want to be out in farming country. I think youre going great guns. Looking forward to the next update, be it next week or the one after. Myrtle is looking good.

    I love the Viscount range of caravans. 💖💖💖 I lived in a "27 footer" Viscount caravan many years ago. Someone mentioned the cardboard box method of trying out the layout for liveability. Your entry might possibly be awkward for bringing items in if it is too cluttered. Sometimes a few extra inches can make all the difference. I do love what you are doing by renovating Myrtle and giving her a new lease on life. 😀
    An "island" bed is much easier for sleeping in and bedmaking.
    The larger fridge will be a blessing.
    You won't regret including a shower/toilet cubicle. It is so unpleasant to be sick for anyone in the middle of the night and have nothing but a bucket to resort to. I'm not sure why you will need to slide the toilet out of the way, just sit on it in the shower. The toilet paper will need a cover to prevent steam from dampening it.
    All the overhead cupboards taking advantage of all the space for storage was so brilliant in the old Viscount Caravans. If you can manage to do that it would be so useful, and remember the door fasteners are important when travelling to stop spillage.
    Air conditioning will be a blessing and the old fashioned air vents in the roof were there for good reasons. Mould can be an issue if you don't keep good ventilation. We had two large screened vents and one smaller one in the roof centre of the caravan. Proper wire mess screens are best for keeping out vermin. Some areas are prone to this. The cheaper screens can be eaten through.
    We also had the high rise roof that gradually sloped towards the back. Beautiful Caravan it was (fond memories). It also had a sliding glass door for the entry. I would prefer a solid door for more security these days. Adding an annex gives extra living space for seating if you have more visitors than can fit at your table and lends a bit of privacy.
    Anyway, that is enough for now. All the best. 😀

    Don’t know if it’s already in the plans but I’d recommend chucking a fan on the top fridge vent to help draw the heat out, it’s one thing we noticed on our coaster is that they don’t actually work that well as passive vents.
    If you’re going for a 12v or even a 240v fridge they don’t need as much venting as the old school 3 ways.

    I can understand not having it for space saving but it’s really beautiful.
    When I designed a van I wasn’t sure about bathroom in the end I decided I would have pop up ensuite attached to side directly outside the kitchen. Have pull out spray bar (shower attachment) you can just hook up outside through window & clip to side. Figured it would save heaps on waterproofing etc & space, takes 2mins to set up, couple of rubber or wood mats for base. Toilet under bench inside.

    I thought of renovating a caravan but couldn't work out the insulation part. See the way you've done it, cutting insulation to fit inside but not over the aluminium frame... doesn't that mean the sun will conduct from outer walls, into the frame, bypassing most of the insulation and heating up the interior anyway? I thought maybe put 3 horizontal rows of thin wood strip (#1 at floor height, #2 waist height, #3 at ceiling) as a thermal break, then the final interior wall lining. But wouldn't that mean heat STILL bypasses most of the insulation!? i.e. Does insulation need to be placed over the aluminium frame too?

    love the video, and caravan is coming along nicely. Was interesting the cylofoam insulation, I was looking at insulation for my van, and might look into that. Is Cylofoam expensive, it looks easy to cut, messy though. Can't wait till next video.

      Hey how’s it going, it’s a very popular option for sure. It comes in a couple different sizes. 10mm,15mm,20mm think the 10mm was around $30 a sheet and we used 9 sheets 10mm.

    Just a thought are you putting a 3 way fridge in or dometic from experience you need to purchase a bigger vent on your rear bottom why you can't service the system unless you pull your fridge out trust me it's a pain as I am going through this now spend the the money and get a bigger opening on rear bottom vent
