It’s been a while since we’ve been able to physically do much to the van, though this is disappointing we feel that it’s better to halt the project and take some time. I have been desperately trying to resolve our layout issue which involves coming up with new ideas for the bed and seating area. DVLA Requirements The DVLA are very strict and have several rules that the van must comply with in order to be classed as a campervan,…
It was a momentous day! We woke with a mixture or nervousness and excitement as we headed to the train station. We had a long four hour journey to Yorkshire ahead of us and then the same for the drive home. There and Back Again We had spoken to the owner of the garage a couple of times on the phone and had told him what we planned to do with the van, he was converting a bomb disposal vehicle…
At long last! Finally some purchasing! You’ll be relieved to know we finally own a van! *does a little dance* It Started With Two… Let’s go back to the past week… We took a couple of days off the van hunting and did some fun things, like going to the cinema and chilling out at home. This month is quite hefty in the run up to Christmas for our business. After all the recent let-downs we wanted to have some…
We’ve had a long old month of continuous research and van hunting, whilst doing our utmost to remain hopeful despite our previous experience! We guessed after that, it may be a slightly longer road to getting a van. We had another couple of close calls, the world of van hunting has been quite surprising and eye opening, it certainly doesn’t seem as tame as car hunting. Close but No Cigar… We thought we’d made a breakthrough in the search and found…
This morning we were feeling pretty pumped about the idea of getting a van, we were happy with our research and ready to hit the ground running. A Revealing Day Expecting this to be an exciting part of the process we decided to take a day trip around local van dealers to have a look at what was on offer. We also hoped that Ben would get a sneaky chance to sit in some of them as due to him…
Join us as we plan out our latest crazy idea… A Bright Idea We learnt a lot from our last trip and with that experience behind us, we can safely say what worked and what didn’t work for us. We want to put our experience to use in formulating our ideas with this coming burst of freedom. The good Freedom The truck The culture Besides the generally amazing experience and the spectacular amount of freedom we had, without doubt one…
After having returned from our glorious but short trip to chart the USA, you could say we’ve had some trouble re-adjusting to a ‘normal’ life. What could we possibly do about this I hear you say? Let’s start from the beginning! We’ve now been back in the UK for approximately 2.5 years. It’s quite something to do a trip such as we did and then come back and try to fit into a normal routine again. After the joy of…
