  3. All your work is beautiful! stunning! breathtaking!

    I've recently been very fortunate to acquire a 1998 Toyota Hiace Supercustom Campervan. Great well maintained engine and rust free bodywork but the interior is just OK. Would really like it to be as self sufficient as possibel

    Might be receiving some funds soon and, if so, will be interested in a quote to convert it Handmade Matt style.

    Have you heard of Kimberley Woodstoves, based in America? Apparently they have designed the stove particularly for boats, campers etc. Would love one in my camper even though the toyota is a fairly small space. Are there any legal problems with installing a woodburner in a camper?

    Kind Regards
