Interior upgrade final photos

[davidathomas42]

So I finally got my van back today from repair. And then finally got back to Regal Furnishings in Ilkeston to pick up my new carpets.

I said I would update when it was all done to show people.

So here we are. My 2010 Bessacarr E660 on a Fiat Ducato Chassis with a 3.0 engine and that semi-auto gearbox that was giving me hassle (touch wood its going to behave again)

They did all new covers on every seat and cushion. Upgraded the cab seats to be a more modern style single piece rather than the separate headrest style. New curtains and new carpets in the cab and hab area. Also replaced any foams that needed it.

Total cost was just inside £3k. I think very well spent. All feel nice and seem like decent hard wearing materials.

The bathroom had a large wooded cupboard over the toilet area that all I could think was for is to hold 147 bottles of coconut shampoo. what this meant was there was a big screen to section it off to stay dry that effectively halved the shower area
So I took it out. Plugged the holes. Fitted an extra light and removed the perspex door.
All that equals a really nice sized shower now and less weight.

Oh and I replaced the wheel trims for used but original alloys.

Anyway. Pics

What a transformation. On the original shelves behind the drivers seat were those tassels along the edge? What were they thinking of!!

A complete transformation, it all looks very well done.
The shower area looks so much better without the wooden cabinet.

A complete coincidence, as I am looking to have my lounge seats reupholstered, and happened upon Regal Furnishings website last night (I live local to Ilkeston) and am planning to visit them today to get a quote.

Really nice job - now open the blinds and get out there and use it

Looks good, ref the shower area, might be an idea to have a 'short' shower curtain to go over the toilet etc (on a sprung bar so no permanent fixings needed) otherwise you'll end up having to mop it all down after your ablutions ... and it'll stop your toilet roll getting soggy!

I don't think the shelves and tassels were original.

My last van had a wet room like I have converted too. The toilet roll had a cover over it to keep it dry. Now i'll just move it while showering. The rest of the area is all plastic and flows into the tray anyway. A curtain would be my worst nightmare. I generally just leave the roof vent open after showering and by the time i've had breakfast etc its a quick 60 second wipe with a microfibre cloth and its bone dry again.

You will be glad you did. They have a great factory and lots of people doing all specialising in the different parts you need.

The wait time for a same day job was 6 months (drop 8am collect 5pm next day) I just took all my stuff out and handed it too them so they could fit in when they had a spare hour here and there (including drivers seats). Took them 2 weeks to have it all done.

I love seeing proper factories working producing real items. Too much stuff is bought online these days and only sort of fits. This is proper bespoke. Just don't get lost looking at the hundreds of different fabrics.

Much nicer, from grannie's bedroom to a modern motorhome. Well worth the money
