he is also doing my chequer plating on the bonnet and wings for $400 which will be screwed on rather than riveted .....means as i am doing it arse about face i can remove it for painting when i get the bulkhead changed. all up $2000 for fabrication and gas struts on tub top, and 80 for gas struts on bonnet....he has an excellent gas strutt chap, will gas then and adjust them until spot on unlike some buy and good luck to you strutt people.

Here is my pride and joy, we are exploring Oz now, and when we finish I hope to sell the camper and do something similar to Mulgos rig. She has the kitchen sink, dining table/chairs, pantry, king size bed and heaps of storage.
