First Ford, First van!

Postby Canarynig » Tue Jan 26, 2021 3:00 pm

Hi I'm Nigel from Plymouth, UK, and about to become the proud owner of a Mk8? (2015) 17 seat transit minibus - for conversion into a camper van over the next six months and then hopefully leading to a long happy retirement of travel and adventure with my wife Linda

I've never had a Ford or a van before, though I did help my son convert a 2005 model 18 months ago, which gave me the bug.

Starting and need to learn more or less from scratch on this which is part of the excitement.

Looking forward to being able to pick brains, and then help others.

Kind regards,

Nigel

Hi Nigel, welcome to the forum. I too have just retired and bought a 460 Trend, that now has far fewer seats while my T55 socket is nearly worn out. Good look with the conversion. Regards Andy.
