The tubing arrived finally so I could fill in the bits around the seating area.
This was all a bit vague I now realise.
It's not always convenient to make tubing frames when everything will be covered with one or more layers of ply of varying thicknesses and perhaps finishes.
In the end you just have to bite the bullet and do it.
I'll probably change my mind about 3 times for how to do the covering while I'm doing it anyway.
At least now the seat frames are in place and the flooring supports under the table area.
The floor here has been raised 50mm above the rest of the floor for a couple of reasons:
. the seat is the top of the generator bin bay so it's height is set by the room required for the generator.
. the height of the seat needs to be about 400mm above the floor plus about 50-75mm padding to be comfortable so that's where the floor needs to be working down from the seat.
. the extra 50mm of raised floor makes the underfloor area more useful.
This underfloor area is accessed only from the inside by moving the table out of the way (it will be hinged to the back wall on it's rear edge) and lifting up the floor (which will be also hinged to the back wall at floor level).
Safe to say that only items which will be required on an infrequent basis (eg depending on the season) will be kept here.
I've also managed to make it possible to remove the floor panels over the two main fresh water tanks if necessary but will probably make that a screwdriver job as I hope never to do it once it's all installed.
It's moving toward the bathroom end fairly quickly now.
"Sich" has made a mould for a fibreglass shower base and is going to take a couple of mouldings from it, one for his bus and one for me.
Mind you he's going on holidays for a fortnight next week so I don't know quite which way to go yet.
Still there are all the doors for the bin bays to keep me going for a while . . .
