It is such a pain having to wait for these things when they are out of your hands. Won't be long now and you will be able to relax on your holiday. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing it in the flesh at Van Fest and I'm sure there will be more pics to come.

Hi!

Really liking your electrics and heater install - wondered if you had the same hinges on the door so you could slide the door off so it doesn't get under your feet? I was thinking of doing a install like this myself - some day.
