Hey! Good question, the main thing I've changed is adding some latches to strap down my stuff whilst on the move. When I first set off everything would fly around everywhere! Apart from that, what I built before I set has served be pretty well. Fully sound deadened and insulating the interior was definitely worth the time as it gets pretty cold in the Alps at night. So far I have managed in -6ÂșC with no heater and just a sleeping bag so it must be working!
Haha, yes there are lots of windows... With my left over insulation I have made a bunch of blinds that sucker-cup to the windows. As well as blocking out all the light, they also help insulate the interior :)
One thing I wish I had made was a pull out kitchen draw that extends out of the back door. This would have a built in hob and sink. At the moment I either have to cook on the floor, picnic bench, or balance a box out of the back door - which isn't the safest thing to be doing! That along with an awning would be great!
Thanks!

I would first need to get my car across the Atlantic. Could strap some pontoons to it. Once I do, I'll hit you up.

I've built a few things before, but it was a total mission to build out the camper interior. Being a Land Rover nothing is square or symmetrical so everything had to be measured by eye and cut by hand. I based myself at a friends workshop and built it all out in a few weekends and lots of evenings. If you have basic woodworking skills, even a bodge job (of which I have plenty) you can still make a liveable interior :)

I was waiting for this one to come up! Along with some great (and necessary) public toilet finding apps.. nearly every town I've come across has really nice public toilets. A good spot to always go is train stations - they nearly always have one. And in an emergency: trips to cafes etc.
I've really not found it to be a problem :)
