So when should you go and weigh your van at a weighbridge? I only ask this question as only very recently when I advertised my van for sale on Quirky Campers, their site asked what the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) was as well as the Unladen Weight. Now for me, I knew what the GVW was because it...

For any of you who are considering selling your van, I suggest you try the Quirky Campers website www.quirkycampers.com Quite unbelievable as it might appear, I only advertised 'Millie' on Friday and today her new owner drove proudly away! I had advertised her at the total amount it cost me to...

As some of you might know, I am in the process of trying to sell my 'Millie' and I have recently advertised her in "Quirky Campers". Due to my interest in what is for sale as well as the oft extortionate asking prices allied to the shocking builds of so many of these vans and I happened across...

The damnable DVLA are at it again!! For many a long year I have been a subscriber to the Classic & Sports Car magazine because of my almost from the cradle interest in “classic cars” of which over the years I have owned a few, however back to the title of this post “the damnable DVLA are at it...

After 8 years of faithful service, my 'Millie' is starting to show her build age in one or two places the most recent one of which is the mixer tap fitted to the shower room sink. The pig tails from the tap are 8mm copper whereas the plastic pipe is 10mm plastic. Back in 2013/14 when I built...

This is one very ingenious idea which as a unit could be used in your estate cars, SUV's or even the love of your life van conversions.

A close friend has recently taken delivery of his brand new Coachman conversion. It is the first of a new model and he was so impatient to get it delivered that it now is sitting on his drive and that is exactly where it will continue to sit as it is still awaiting full type approval by the...
