Fitting X-Trem insulation

Get it from CMC Reimo

Side panelling


Upper frame

As you can see we attached batons to the side of the high top with copious amounts of 'serious stuff' then helpd in place with gaffa tape while that cured/dried.
We then used L-brackets to connect the battens across at the back and along the sides of the bed area - this is why I said earlier I'd do it different a second time around and start with a frame made with the long solid square batons all the way along the floored area warther than adding them after.
Still - we had no plans so were making it up as we went along!

Jigsaw

Fitting instructions here...
Great things, but expensive I guess, mine came with the van!
Notice the masking tape? Stops you scraping or splintering the fibre glass when cutting. You need a good, sharp metal (fine tooth) blade and high speed jigsaw, the cordless one was less good in the end as the battery was so heavy so we switched to more powerful corded one.
