Great van.Looks amazing .Did you leave out loo? Speaking as a bird whos not posh just had to say have camped for 20 years without a loo & when i got my coachbuilt camper 3 yrs ago the 1st thing we did was take out loo & leave it behind in garden! Would rather use space for surf board & BBQ. Wasnt having anyone cr*ppin in my van as knew whod get to empty it :lol:I find it no problem when night falls as we always pee beside our friends vans & tents!! Guess none of you lot will want to ever camp near us then :lol: :lol:

fioroe, i did put in a basic cassette toilet and i found a really smart utility tent for £20 which as it happens is in matching grey/black! and the solar shower hangs in there too.....
and as for that back rear tyre i see what you mean now it does look flat in that pic :lol:

ah that damn fridge! being a novice re camper fridges i tried it on 12v but it took all the power from the 110ah leisure battery and i dont use camp sites so no 240v either and i was doubtfull on using gas as the exhaust was just a bit too rusty for me to have the confidence in it being safe! so im on a thermo electric for now which so far has done the job
