Converting a MAN KAT1 truck into a camper: fridge, electric box & more!

On March 30th we took the truck home (hopefully it will not snow again until next winter!) and there is plenty of work to be done!

For our trip to Transylvania we would like to have the fridge, some drawers and the electric box installed.

This is how the living cabin looked like on March 30th morning:

The area in front of the entrance door, where we want to place the fridge and a set of drawers:

After two days of hard work, the inspector came to check the construction site… and he was satisfied with the work accomplieshed:

The cover for the electric box was build during the week and is now nearly ready, we have decided to include a shelf for loading mobile phones:
