The new show van has come back from the workshop in the burr walnut finish, which looks fantastic! The new design with the curves on the bathroom wall and the end cupboard softens the lines within the van. In the bathroom there is now a brush aluminum shower wall which reflect the the modern LED lighting giving a new look to the interior of the v-trek bathroom.
A new addition to one of the V-trek camper vans is a dog cage. This allows for up to two small dogs to be carried safely while travelling. A cage has been made under the sofa which can be pulled out to allow extra room for the dogs, or removed completely and replaced with a draw for extra storage.
Work has started on the V-trek show van. The interior of this van will be finished in a walnut veneer, which will look completely different to the Carbon fibre finish of the last van. We are hoping that the V-trek van will be finished in time for the Goodwood Revival weekend at the end of September. fingers crossed! Just hope that we can finally get sorted with the tinted windows.
I ordered a set of Mercedes floor mats for the V-trek van so that the fit was perfect. I decided that I would go for the top of the range mats made out of Velour, they were very expensive at £93 per set. (I did manage to get a small amount of discount off but they were still expensive!) I ordered them on the Wednesday and by the Friday they had been delivered, which was exceptionally quick. We were all so disappointed with the mats when I fitted them into the floor area of the van, they just did not fit anywhere!, they did not follow the contours of the foot wells, there was not a durable heel pad for the drivers side mat, and there was great big areas of the floor that was not covered by the mat at all! On the Saturday I took the mats back to the Mercedes garage that had ordered them for me, they were also shocked at how badly the mats fitted the cab floor. Hence these mats have been sent back. Since then we have found a company called Autostyle on the internet that make tailor made car mats, their prices are very resonable. We can make the template ourselves and they will make up the mats to our design with the V-trek logo on, at half the price of the Mercedes mats. I have received colour samples of the mats through the post today, so will decide on a colour and get a set made. I will keep you posted on the result of the tailor made mats.
