waiting for sikaflex!!!

its slightly annoying waiting for stuff you order to arrive, and i have been waiting a week and a half for some sikaflex 512 caravan sealant to arrive, so i called the company to be told its out of stock and they weren't sure when it was coming in, could they put that on their website?? instead of taking the payment and not telling me? it really does surprise me some businesses actually last.

without it we cannot cut any holes for vents, windows or anything like that so it is rather annoying, i have ordered some from another online company and the whole order was actually £10 less then the other company who failed to deliver, they also emailed me to say they had dispatched the order already so thankyou to outdoorleisureshop.co.uk

Anyway dad cracked on with building a box to house the leisure batteries, we will need to run a small vent from the box to the outside of the van, the batteries are held in place with some metal strips that were on the steps of the van. i bought two leisure batterys which are 115ah from the battery megastore on ebay.
A divider between the cab and rear was also cut to fit and the layout of the seats was marked out and planned, i then worked out the sizes and dimensions of the seat cushions and went to a foam and upholstery shop to get some quotes. i need to get some more from online sources as i reckon they will be cheaper.



we have marked out the layout on the floor with tape and the next job will be building the frame and worktop for the seats and cooker/sink which i won from ebay, i also have a 12v fridge from my old chevy day van which we are going to fit in underneath the sink.
