so i have been off work the last couple of days so with an extra pair of hands things have been going a little (very little) bit faster. while dad was busy making the shower panels and cutting the floor, i got on with carpeting the ceiling of the van and some of the panels, i got this from ebay a 2 metre by 10 meter roll of carpet and 8 cans or spray glue was £100, its like veltrim but the seller said its more flexable while sealing (he would say that as its not brand named veltrim) however it was pretty easy to work with and quite stretchy. I roped in my girlfriend in to help, first we did the panel above the drivers cab as it was a small section so we could get used to the material.
we chose grey/silver carpet because we wanted something light, and once it was put up it matches the trim of the van so a bit of a result, to get the carpet into the small cracks and spaces i used a thin chisel. the ceiling was a different kettle of fish, as we wanted it to be one piece with no joints we cut it to size then rolled the end up, dad came up with the genius idea of using three poles across the van to lay the carpet out on so we could stick it on in sections, this worked a treat, we didnt stick the very end as we are waiting for the shower cubicle to finish going in!
