    Fitted my own windows
    I also took the tin opener to my van and fitted a skylight, side window and a porthole. The skylight and porthole were fairly easy and I had them fitted in a few hours.

    The side window was taken from a caravan and took longer because I had to make a precision template from scratch. I basically assembled the window on a sheet of card and worked out the measurements from that, then used a contour tool to get the corners right.

    The whole job for that took about 6 hours. It didn’t end there though…
