Made a little tool to crack open the lid for the fresh water tank. Not sure how it's supposed to be done but I did it over the gas bottle. Worked a treat!

Excuse the ignorance, but what reason would we need to access the water tank?

To replace a broken pump would be the usual reason to get in the tank.

I was really curious and wanted to take a look inside!

Installed some rugs into living area. Tapped together and cut in around kitchen unit. Not bad for £24.

Very nice! Yes, very cost effective too :thumb

Just to clarify, they are taped together? So, do you not move the bench (you sleep in the roof bed)? Or are they taped in such a way that you can still put one on top of the other?

Yes taped together. We haven't slept in van yet (still new to us) and intend sleeing up top. We can roll it if sliding bench. We may need to roll it to open drawer also as I found there is a roller on underside of drawer.
