I've been getting by for the last six months on man maths! I'll keep trying to work my magic and see what happens!!
Out of curiosity how much does it roughly cost to get your sankey to that level, without the awnings and roof tent?
A frame and cadding, will run you around £300-500 if you can do it yourself depending on where and what you source, then add to it bit by bit.
The top I made to simply fit on my wide track cost me £130 clad in 1mm ally and the painted to match the tub, all my gear is just stored inside , RT on top and Foxwing for cover

As Greg said really
You can go crazy or not so crazy. Depends if you do it your self or not. mine is made from 2mm steel box section that was around £200 for the amount I used and then about another £200 for the cladding SPO would agree with the £400-£500 mark just for the frame and then depends how you finish it. Also depends on what you tell SWMBO 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

Have a great trip Simon, let me know if you need anybody to check on the Sankey and borrow anything they may find in your storage
Love the idea of a Sankey weekend, Chepstow is in October I think, would that work?
