With all that on your van, you might as well buy a spare van and tow it behind you, but then you gotta carry spares for the spare van..................

I don't see how...my list wouldn't take up that much space, cost a bit yes but space hogging not really. Biggest single items would be headlamps...which incidently it might be an idea to source some european ones for the trip due to the driving on the wrongside of the road, beam benders are a make do solution at best and fine for a week away but not in a country where you can't get the spares.
I would imagine that Fred's fleet has beam benders stuck on, strange how we do this but europeans coming over here never seem to do us the same courtesy.

We don't do beam benders, until the French do when they come here.

if you are british and male the American women fall at your feet when ever you open your mouth.

I am not kiddin either,they love the English accent because they think we sound posh even from Norfolk

They thought we were Australian!! Oh, and have you ripped off my sig? Kidding. Also, you know me, I would do this in a Mk2, out of spite. Can't be any harder to get parts in the USA as here!
