I guess you could say i like it. Its even better now that I have out a CD player in it and its all wired up to a second battery so that
i can use all the electics without worry. Been away moth windy weekends, and for a full week with the other half. Got some other ideas
so to improve it, don't think i'll ever be done completly!
Thanks for the advice Al, much appreciated and I hope to see you in Wales when the wind starts to blow again!

 Wow, I am very, VERY impressed! Nice job there, Wes!
My heart's set on the New Renault Trafic... fully fitted with board storage one side, & motorbike ramp/lashings the other. Torque
figures are drop-dead sexy for the 2.5dci 140...sommat like a Shogun. Hopefully will be on the road by March next year, re-mortgage

Looking good Wes.... You'll find that your ideas for the next one eveolve though. I'm on my 3rd van now and have just about got the way
I like mine set up sussed!
Trouble is at the moment the van is used as a big storage facility so the bed, stove and changing area are pretty much out of action.
I'll reinstate it all again once we have a house though!!
It is nice having your own mobile toybox with accomodation though isn't it. No need to set up / take down a tent etc. Just arrive
somewhere (anywhere) and get into bed, then get up in the morning and go windsurfing. Everything is there, nice and easy and
convenient. I can't wait to get mine back and head off to the Outer Hebrides in it again... Actually, I don't think this one has been
to the Outer Hebrides yet.
Al.

Yeah, this van is a little slow, but then its also really cheap!
I have looked around a few vans at the beach, and most of them follow pretty similer lines, storage one side, room the other and then a
fold down bed. I guess most people don't have as many toys as Al!
As Al said, its really cool to roll up to a beach, park cook dinner, crash then get up and sail. I don't think I have been in a real
campsite more than twice since getting it. Laybys have a whole new use now! Come the windy season I will give it some longer trips,
Also find out how good all that insulation really is when the temperature plummets. Mind wou, its got to be warmer than sleeping in a
tent!
