Table is a good idea, great use of space.
Regarding the registration plate lamp, will you be putting a housing on it?

Falco.

[Steinbruchsoldat]

No housing on the lamp, there`s no need for it... Going to install everything tomorrow. Leaving for a 4 day offroad event on Tuesday morning...

Great license plate. All you need to do is paint over the Y.

The thing I like about the German plates are that you can tell what area the vehicles are from.

Ulm & Alb-Donau-Kreis, Baden-Württemberg

I remember riding with my buddy from K and we would see a poor driver and he would comment on the drivers from %$#@^% being shitty. In Canada we just complain about taxi drivers or people from the prairie provinces who have never seen a corner etc...

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Yeah, we can bullshit about every other area....

Mounted the swingout today.
Gasstrut:



Everything mounted:



Raised the front license plate and put on the temporary radiator cover:



Put the camping stuff back in:

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Loaded it all up, so i`m ready to leave this night for an 4 day offroad event:

I just wanted to say thanks for posting all the info about the work you are doing to your van, it is an interesting read.

cheers

[Steinbruchsoldat]

No problem. I like to post up stuff when there`s interest...

Returned from the offroad event today. The L300 did really well, i even got really good fuel mileage, actually the best since i bought it...

First we did some mild offroading. No pics of the difficult stuff though...













Set up camp:



Dinner:



The table has many uses:



Here are two vids of a nice steep part:

That's quite the butter knife you have there.

It`s quite handy to cut the bread:

What a wonderful story. So good to see someone not letting the tinworm win and putting life back into a car rather than parting it out.

Great work!
