I didn’t think it was going to be used as a mobile home. A lot of caravan sites have height restriction beams, and a double decker bus would be tricky to get in.

Is there a reason the internal walls are made from quite heavy and thick wood?
Static caravans for example are maybe only 1” square frame and thin plywood.

I'm assuming it's for the appearance that that type of wood has been used.

It's going on a site to be used for family when they come and visit also the wood is cls and thought it would allow more room for installation and cables as will be used all year round
 
Evening all sorry for late photos here's the electrics that I have real concerns about

That round junction box is not suitable to be located where it cannot be accessed. And it would need fastening down anyhow as there is no cable support/strain relief.

But the rest is ok and suitable he's coming back Monday to finish off thank u so much for your help means alot
 
Am only looking at the photos on my phone and can't see much detail. The other people on here might have more comments.

Looking forward to seeing photos of the finished thing.
 
Must admit I have no idea why the cables are not clipped that installation is the easiest to make a tidy job of and the white junction box should be totally unnecessary.

Afternoon all, sorry haven't updated recently it has come to a standstill as questioned the electrician and he walked off the job and have another electrician lined up for the new year so fingers crossed I can finish it off. Hope u all have a lovely Xmas thank you all for ur helpful comments and input x
 
Whoops.
Poor sensitive little guy.

Sounds like you’re well shot of him. A good spark will try to explain why things have been done in such a way, not strop off
(That autocorrected to “strip off”... so glad I noticed)

Sorry your project has come to a standstill
