Hey Mate,Now the work begins,You should have it finished by the end of April :wings:
Isuzu NPS 300 camper build
- Thread starter 4x4coaster
- Start date
It should be as simple as dropping in cabinet carcases and hiding the plumbing and electrical behind them.

Yes, definitely trying to get as much done as I can over Easter, seeing as I can't go camping yet!

today I fitted the trims for the rear access door seals, Sika 252 and riveted, as well as fitting the brackets for the rear actuators, drilling the 60mm holes through the horizontal part of the pop-top support, started putting angle supports in for bed box top.

OK, it's been a while, so here are some recent pics.

The pipe work for the diesel heating room heater is some left over from my coaster bus, it runs behind the toilet cassette then down through the floor and then connects to normal flexible heater hose and then back to solid pipe at the other end to go through the floor and into the compartment with the heat exchanger and diesel burner.
.
.

I have started assembling the drawers, there are 17 so far and there will probably be 2 more. The sides are folded 1.6mm aluminium, the rear is alucabond and the base is half inch form ply.
The fronts will also be the ply and then the dress faces will attach to finish them off.

The shower walls and the dividers between cupboards & bed are composite panel, same as the exterior box, cupboard carcasses are a mixture of Nema board and lightweight ply which have been painted white with gloss water based enamels. 3 coats and sanded between coats, not that much of it will be seen when its all finished.

I have finished the installation of the Diesel water/room heater. There is so much to do to install these things!
Most of the drawers are made except for the dress panels, and I have ordered my bench tops.
Last cupboard to build is the one under the fridge.

I picked up my bench tops today and roughed them in for a quick look.
Still have to do cut-outs for sink & cooker.
The laminate is a bit like polished concrete to look at but also has a stone type of flick through it and the edges are all matching ABS plastic as they will take a knock better than laminate edges do.

Beside this cupboard is the base for the fridge.

the 'pop top' sock or sleeve will be made of full block-out vinyl, and probably one of the last things to do.

another quick update....
fitted the bottom track for the roof sleeve which meant I had to take it out of the garage for the first time since starting the fitout and I could put the roof up to full height.
It was a nice sunny day so had to take some pics.
