At some point Murky will be up for sale if you fancy something that size, but you'd need to see it in the flesh. Even though I've not had any problems that have ruined a trip, there are odds and sods. As it looks impossible to get the new build usable for next year, I'm now addressing some of those niggles. Just feels uncomfortable throwing £100's at it when you planning on selling it.

Maybe, on the look out for something bigger than Sylvia with a fixed bed
A couple of photos would help in the interim, where are you (Murky) based ?

Cheers

I know it is not a logical way to decide when getting a practical vehicle, but some of the 'faces' on the library buses are quite off-putting :( . having said that, there are other vehicles that don't look any prettier, but at the same time, look 'right'.
can't put my finger on it :unsure:

Well I like it! Its so ugly its cute... Reckon a library would be a good base, lot of work already done, but my ideal conversion is probably a little more unconventional than most folk....😉

Sorry didn't even tell you where I reside, Not far from Doncaster and I'm lucky to be above water level.
It's an ex local authority ambulance. LHE bodied 811D Mercedes Chassis. so yes over 3.5 tonne
The engine is 3.9 litre turbocharged diesel

Ah yes, fair enough - not a million miles away from me. Missus would need to do another license to drive it. Looks good though. Would be interested when you are ready to sell and why are you selling ?

Some where in here is our Violating a Princess post. Plaxton Cheetah conversion. Just fancied doing something different. Anita did say I could buy a new Chassis bulkhead and we'd build the rest until she saw the Mercedes prices. Next was to buy a nearly new coach, but before we did we purchased the plaxton. Ever horror we've found seems to exist in the new ones too, so a least we never paid silly money for it.

Found it

Violating a Princess!

So a new build starts, time will tell how foolish we are being. We have discussed down sizing or even a new build on a chassis bulkhead. In a fit of madness we purchased this old tart, that will be renamed Betty. I hope it doesn't get to many other names. I will post progress as the mood...

So you have two large vehicles, that would explain it. Do you live on a Farm ?
