Hi everyone.

I just wanted to share with you good people the good news. We have finally been able to buy a van and begin the conversion process and have a facebook page recording our progress.

If you are into that kind of thing and would like a look please feel free to like and comment. All advice is gratefully received.

Our project

Thanks
Ann n Sean

You must be very proud of that. I rather fancied doing the same but I was outvoted and ended up buying a new motorhome.

Looks like a good start. Plenty of space in your van. Don't forget to remind us of progress on here.

Just had a look at the pictures and noticed that you appear to have left the ribs un-insulated. I filled mine with expanded foam to avoid a cold bridge to the outside.

Thanks David and Dinkum we are and we will. Mike thanks for the tip.

We are sort of learning as we go along but thoroughly enjoying it too.
