Gday cobber,that sounds very Australian heh it would be the second one but in ten foot form , and kaybee,colin thanks for your reply mate that does help as my design is a gross overkill compared to your piccy but I think rhs is the go will keep you posted on the progress as I said before weight is a factor as I will be towing it with my a40 convertible morris major 1622 b series motor with a Datsun 1000 diff as the final drive which is 3.9

I should have mentioned this is not a total new van as I have a donour van here that I am going to use keeping within the guidelines of this forum, the chassis that I have here is pretty bad and cannot get a good reference off it al handles latches cupbords etc will be used in the rebuild
cheers Bo

Good morning all I have decided to take the plunge and build a 10' bondwood van probably along the lines of the wanderer with a single settee up the front and dropped floor, I have a question for all you people with a bit more knowledge than myself on building the chassis what would you use c section ,rhs or a combination of both rhs for the axle carriers and c section for the other not so load bearing components and also what thickness would you use 3mm , 5mm or 6mm keeping in mind weight is a big factor for me as I will be towing it with an Austin a40 all your answers would be appreciated cheers Bo
