CAMPER VAN- USA 2014 - Honda Oddyses

Just a few pic's of our "Camper Van" from USA Trip 2014.

It's an old girl with 290 000 miles on the clock when purchased. We traveled 5600 miles without much hassle. She treated us well, kept us warm and safe while camping and offered a comfortable drive. Hopefully she repeats the fantastic service for this years travels which we anticipate to be over 13 000 miles.  :).

Improvements for 2015 will include, outdoor shower, skylight for air ( stuffy sometimes). 12 volt inside fan, 2nd hand bicycles (hopefully to be purchased at Garage sales.
Bicycles loaned from House Sitting job ( permission granted of course!!

Rear before carpentry

Rear after carpentry.

Wood and tool usage / supply from our kind house sitting Host who had some spare after building his Houseboat. Hinges , string, paint etc from thrift stores. Three draw cupboard and black throw-over from Garage sale.

Porta potty from Thrift store. A perfect fit, the smallest I've seen yet absolutely perfect for No 1. ( ONLY !!!!). Those night time emergencies when not wishing to wander outside ....  :)  :)

This rear section. I would like to create an outside shower arrangement by surrounding the lift up door with a shower curtain for privacy. Water to be supplied from tank above the roof which hopefully will bake warm in the sun (painted black !!)

Outdoor Coffee time

Camping. Flyscreen  for the mozzies....  Screen from Thrift store

Picnic along the way ( breakfast actually)

Access  to cooler from inside. Bryony is sitting on our bed which consists of 2x single thin blow up mattresses having an inner foam center. A most comfortable bed allowing for a fully stretched out sleep. Our sleeping bags simply placed on top of the black throw-over.

Dismantle video. I have more but didn't feel the need to bore...
