Living Area

The Mog > Inside

OK, so here we have the living area. As with the Kitchen section, if you click on the first image to the left, you can jump to the Photobox website.

The shot to the left is taken with my back to the kitchen, so facing forwards. The area behind the blue curtain is the 'luton' section that's over the cab, and that's our bed.

On the row below, you can see the seating. All three seats have a flip top lid with lots of storage inside. The centre picture is the cupboard above the seating area, and the third shows the crawl through space into the cab. I'm not sure this will be used much, but it's handy to have.

The first large picture below show the storage shelves which face the seating area. You can make out the top of the electrics cupboard in the bottom left of the picture, as well as the CD changer (speakers are in the living area and the cab).

I'll go into more detail on the electrics, heating etc in the 'Utilities' bit of the Inside section.

In the second picture to the right you can see one of the storage cupboards. The boxes are very sturdy, although these ones don't currently have lids. They've been in Moglet for a few years now and are still going strong, although the runners holding them up are likely to be replaced before we leave - some of the fixings are showing a few signs of stress and we'd rather nip that in the bud before something breaks on the road.

There's an identical cupboard on this side of Moglet below the one in the picture, with the same boxes in. As well as these, the shots below show the next cupbaord in the run - these boxes have lids and will be more for kitchen storage - as well as the wardrobe storage space on the other side of Moglet. The days are numbered for the hanging space - this is likley to be replaced with simple shelving and lightweight boxes for bathroom supplies. The wire trays may also be replaced - practical and sturdy as they are, the plastic runners are also showing signs of stress above the screw holes, so we're thinking maybe shelves and canvas storage bags for clothes. Still allows for air movement but unlikely to break and wont rattle on the notorious African roads.

Either way though, plenty of storage!
