Just a quick update on my resto, still chipping away at the hatch, when I feel up to it I'll sneak out to the shed after work for a half hour or so and do a little bit more, at present I'm looking at fitting some of the hardware that I wont be able to get to after I've lined the inside so I've been slowly gluing in blocks for mounting screws etc where needed, there will be the odd removable panel so that I will be able to change light bulbs and the like but will try as best I can to keep them as UN-noticeable as I can. I did ask the question re gas struts but will wait till I have the hatch installed before I make that decision, at least I will have a better idea of the weight I'll be working with. So there you have it, no photos yet but will upload new ones once the hatch is back on.

I saw this van when it was only about half done and was very impressed with the work done thus far, Tony&Barb you have done well she looks beautifull and I'm sure you will both enjoy using her.

Hi Barb, you probably no longer have it but if the old mattress is still around you could weigh this also then weigh all the new stuff you put in and then work out the difference between the two and it will give you a better idea of just how much extra weight was put to the front of your van.

Yellowuki, if you dont have any luck through the forum then you could try one of the trailer/caravan places, I think that Carac still sell various size tow balls but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks for all the replies guys, just confirmed all the thoughts that I had, shipping to my work address down here in Melb will be around $120 so not to bad, only an extra $20 to get it to my home address here in the country, Richard heres a link to thier web site www.madetomeasuremattresses.com.au I would prefer a good nights sleep, thanks all who replied.

I'm trying to decide on a mattress for "STU" I've got prices from Made to measure in Qld on their inner spring and foam mattresses but what is the general consenses? would a chunk of foam from clark's be just as good and would I need to do anything to get some sort of air circulation around it, all replies carefully read

G'day Al and Barb, I've been watching this thread with a little intrest to see where it goes (not to busy here ) just thought I would make a point of mentioning the re- arrangement of the beds that Barbra mentions in reply #3, I was wondering how much difference there would be between the weight of the old bed and bunks as opposed to the new replacement, if the new bed is much lighter than the old ones that were removed would this not put more weight to the front? thus making the drawbar weight higher?

Hi Cruz, best of luck with your impending DE-construction, good of all your mates to come around and help you out, as they say many hands make light work, or was that the Chinese electrician ;D lets hope it all goes back together just as quick as it come apart.

Hi there yellowuki, I'm with Roehm3108 keep it the same, maybe change the shades to match better to your liking, ask yourself "would it still hold the same memories if it were a different colour"
