Christmas progress

We've used our Christmas break very productively and are getting Amelie ready for a big adventure! Sam's bosses kindly offered to let us work on the van in their work garage, so it's been a lot warmer than last year!

Sam has taken out the dashboard, upgraded the main power cables and installed a new fan motor. He also replaced the front pads, discs and wheel bearings, then cut a hole for our new sliding side window. Meanwhile, I painted our cupboards and insulated the roof.  We have just finished carpeting the roof and despite a few hiccups along the way, we are fairly pleased with the result (just don't look too closely at it!)

The new roof carpet from Mega Van Mats.  We used their silver mega stretch lining carpet.

Our main holiday this year will be in the van around the Scottish Highlands for a couple of weeks, but there's lots of work to do before then!
