We are now almost done. Kitchen block completely to your satisfaction.
It's just different from what I had imagined before. The bed/sofa is extendable, but not as far as I would have liked. Couples who really like each other and are not overweight will get along just fine. But 105 cm is a very small doubt. Is what it is.
The awning will also not be a cassette, but a separate awning with a rail in the gutter on which the awning can be pushed. Up to 250 projections with the option to attach two side awnings. Nice under a roof when it rains.
Mechanically it is still a great car. The Mercedes Viano has had a new MOT, new tires and a major service and everything that was not good is now in tip top condition.
First I had the upholstery of the chairs redone and both chairs turned. They now really have the leather Mercedes look. Also a nice and good Din2 multimedia built in. Expanded with a subwoofer and two speakers in the back and a button so you also have a radio when the engine is off. Very easy to connect to your phone via USB. You also have maps and Spotify or whatever other service you have. Radio also has DAB+
A new 160ah battery that is charged via CEE connection and motor. Functions perfectly. Good for at least 4 days off grid.
My personal plan is to leave for Portugal sometime in 2026. When and for how long is still a question mark.

The Viano drives wonderfully, nice heavy engine, automatic transmission with cruise control. So you can relax while driving. Has a lifting roof so you can also stand in the bus. Good sound from the speakers and enough contact points for USB and, if you are connected via CEE connection, also sockets for 220. Atmospheric lighting in the form of dim LED lamps and twilight LED 12v. Two reading lamps.
Now just a lick of paint and curtains and it is completely ready.
