Mon 23rd, I need to go out for a food shop, which I am dreading, going to Asda, hopefully in the hour set aside for the elderly, and at risk. Don't know if it's 8am- 9am or 9am-10am. Then onto Wickes for more timber, then home for another week, but at least I can go for walks with my dog, to...

Work continues at a snails pace due to the weather, like most of us, I don't have the luxury of a nice sheltered work shop, but hey ho, I've done it before and the weather is slowly improving, so I do what I can when I can.

It's a surprise, just how many coloured vans are available....not many at all, but white ones....take your pick.

Well today is Sunday and it's flippin freezing, so no work today, and tomorrow I need to go to Wickes for some 9mm ply and some 18 x 28 sticks. Need also to do a shop for food as well, but trying to stay as far away from people as possible. I will not be buying bog rolls and if I do run out, my...

Battle is underway, but is prone to weather stops!

Oh yes, got to cut some!

My Iveco has gone to Rust in Peace, the dreaded tin worm strikes again, and apparently, rust is the Achilles heel of this otherwise fine vehicle. So after looking around I put a deposit on a Fiat Ducato, but on its way back from MOT, a quarry wagon dumped a load of rubble on it, and eventually...

My 16" rims are factory fit, it being the XLWB, but changing rims for looks needs careful consideration and research. For myself I am not overly keen on Alloys and much prefer Steel wheels. :)

I have just bought my next project, a Citroen Relay, and I specifically wanted 16" wheels, so I could get my new Goodrich all terrain tyres swapped over. New rims from Oponeo were £80 each, ouch! My relay now has the Goodrich's on and they are 225/75/16. No clearance issues. At some point I will...

I was a coach driver for 24 years and I can tell you, some of the bodges carried out by back street company's were appalling. One of the big problems with Plaxtons was the draft coming in from the front over my legs, so in winter I had a travel blanket I put over my legs to drive, passengers did...

That's exactly why there will never be a perfect motorhome, built commercially. As a self builder, I put in the van what I want, and I use a design that works for me, the main criteria being - that it's comfortable, warm in the winter and cool in the summer. My taste in interior decor would not...

I like that, and only done a million miles. Will it be a straight eight or a v8? What a fabulous project. Now if I was younger but most absolutely loaded, I would be up for that!

540.000 miles, is that a miss-print or real mileage? :unsure:

I have had a good look at the new DVLA rules, and for the most part are quite straight forward, however there are a couple of problems with those rules regarding the outside of the vehicle. Motorhome graphics.....well that's not very specific and is open to much interpretation! Must look like a...

Sawdust, cheap as chips, not tried anything else.(y)

Compressed sawdust from supermarkets, cheap and available and it works.

I have one, built it myself, been using it for about a year, and would never go back to a standard camper toilet. I definitely do not miss going to the elsan emptying point...yuk.

Bottle Green.....absolutely love it, I have heard that people are having problems getting the log book changed, no idea why, but good luck to you. (y)

Very sad, his conversion of Deep Red was inspirational.
