    Jon, have you thought about making the pop top back to front, so that the front is the part that goes up. This will give you the extra headroom as you come in the doors, instead of dong the crouch thing till you reach the rear of the van.
    And if you did it right, you could make a front deck over the cab area, that you could access through the front pop top window.
    I would also forget about the back shutter, and have a solid lower wall to hang a couple of spare wheels on with a large window above.
    The pedal is a real game changer

    • @truebluetravellers
      @truebluetravellers  5 днів тому +1

      Hi Lee, this was my original idea actually because I wanted to put the kitchen just as you come in but unfortunately it’s going to have to go at the back because it will be a nightmare to build around access to the engine so seating while have to go behind the front seats and the kitchen at the back so the pop top will have to go that way round to give me enough head height I think when cooking. Still not 100% on the plan yet though will just have to see how it all works out 👍

I just removed the plasti-dip off only four tires last week and my poor sore body is only now just recovering. As I was on the fourth one, I thought of you and how if I had two more to do at that point I might cry. Same argument for why I have OEM size tires. Changing 35s on the side of a trail would likely make my hernia explode.

    Cutting the roof of showed me their is no ceiling to Jons talent. (groan). And as for Jess doing the wheels, poor thing must be so tyred!
    (another groan).
    Seriously though its great to see the massive progress being made and explained in such a way its easy to follow.
    Glad the donations came in handy and we are all looking forward to Jons green mohican next weekend! Jess, you really didn't send him to the barbers alone did you?? 🫣
