I spent some long hours on the weekend working on the van improving the look from the previous bright blue. I redid the hatch which flew off recently and luckily didn't kill anyone or do any damage to vehicles as no one was behind me. The hatch was run over and I didn't realise it was even missing till I arrived home 50kms later - I went inside to check out some things and realised it was very bright inside and looking up realised half of my roof had gone. I drove back the 50ks and found it run over so it took an entire day to replace the woodwork reattach the metal housing and reattach it to the van - it gave me a chance to replace some woodwork around the hatch rim and reseal it all. I notice underneath is pretty good just needs some scraping with a metal brush, some anti rust acide and a paint of rust inhibitor no deep rust, however, their is one spot of rot at the rear corner which I read in another profile is often the case because corner joins are not watertight - I will have to attend to this. Some of the original curtains were ruined beyond saving so I took the tops and bottoms off and put new middles in. The previous owner said that the two lights that were removed were long and she couldn't get the globes for them anymore similar to neon lights apparently if anyone knows what these were let me know I presume the exteriors were chrome and glass.

Two coupling (for earlee) see how it moves around it is a ball inside the casing that the top bolt is connected to.
See the tow coupling connects from underneath with a pin through the top.
Original curtains and blinds
Kitchen minus the cold box but some parts remain in the cupboard but not enough to rebuild at this stage.
Original mattresses
Rear with amended curtains
New exterior colouring
Let me know what you do about the tow coupling earlee.
