Lots of storage underneath. Here's the drinking water (with pump) and gas.
Battery box has been done pretty well although I fear dropping a spanner in there.

Wow that's great Peter. Like the fridge in the back too. I'm having fun turning my boat into a camper as well - 24V traction pack gives me heaps of power. Bring it to Adelaide!
