What's the damage? (to the purse like)

I made a note of the cost of the conversion and have chucked in a couple of links from where the materials came from:

• 9mm Plywood 3 x 117cm x 58.3cm (Arnold Laver) £25.44
• 2x piano hinges (Shaws Ironmongers Sheffield) £10.80
• 4 x Samla Ikea under bed boxes (Ikea) £26
• 2" Reflex Foam 175cm x 117cm (Foam Shop) £53
• 2 x Decathlon camping sleeping mat (Decathlon) £33.98
• Radiator reflective foil (B&Q) £13.98
• 20mm Round button suction cups (Amazon) £2.67
• Andes Bayo Driveaway Awning (Andes) £109.95

Total cost of conversion £275.82


I think I saved myself about £1700 there... how did you get on?

Sweet jesus am I really going to do a campervan blog?

Oh yes I am... with a new berlingo (to me) and refusal to spend a lot of cash on one of these neat amdro conversion kits... here is some waffle and pics putting one together and taking it on it's first trip to the lakes.

Stay posted for more (though I often quit everything...)
