Looking good.
Did you buy the ply-lining as a kit or did you cut it all to size yourself?

i done a deal with a company, whos name i cant think of for the min, i told them i didnt want the floor, so it worked out cheaper, also they tailor made the wheel boxes 9mm bigger, to compensate for lack of floor,if you see what i mean

Smart, mate.  I like it.  Mine was fully ply lined when I bought it, so I ripped it all out, including the wheel arches and just left the wall panels.   I've hooks on there I hang my poles on.

But that looks good.

We got the bars at B&Q, your right they are the wardrobe bars, you can buy the brackets there too.
As regards the spacers, i just bought 75mm angle brackets,taped them on with leccy tape,then cut pipe insulation to fit around the brackets.
Then just to brighten things up a lil,i wrapped blue leccy tape all over.
On my last Dispatch,the mk 1, Frank kindly let me have bars that he had on his old van,he had them especially made. But the newer Dispatch is wider,so these wont fit my new van (nor the bloody roof bars)
The plastic boxes were bought at my local discount store £1.99 each, i simply screwed them to the ply linning,and used a penny washer also.
There are two of us mate, so 90% of the time one of us can see the van,i used to get the hosereel in and out all the time,but found it tiring,and also the reel kept falling over,so the reel is now fixed in the back,and if you look at the pic again, you will see that the hose goes through one of those hose thingy bobs,with 4 runners, makes it dead easy to reel in and out almost without effort, B&Q do these at about a fiver

Trippy, have you got a photo of that 500 litre flat tank you're flogging?  You said it's in some metal support thingy?  Is the walls thick enough to put an immersion heater in it?

Jus' askin' like!  ;D

Nice. Very nice.

That looks a well thought out setup.

Much better than mine. :-[

Give it a couple of months and it'll look like a bag of nails and be covered in empty Mars Bar wrappers.
