yeah, not tonight, will get them together and send next few days. Myself and Sherri are very happy with the unit, but I'm still working on the internal wardrobe, never ends does it??????? ...the van itself measures 2.3m long and 1.7m wide....we sleep across it so this particular configuration won't fit the big buggars. But We have a couple of different ideas that will suit all sizes, but its great to have security, storage, a dry off the ground bed, and......a spot to store everything, from camp oven to spare tarps.....I reckon 450mm longer and I can fit a shower in, thats if you don't want to swing a cat.....by the way the Caravan was manufatured by "OFF STREET CARAVANS" by a mate of mine ....Trevor Street,,in Wollongong....will get back to you shortly, have to work out HOW to send pics
