Well yes, we’ve been busy – and probably a year in the brain has now “finalised” a design spec for our next campervan which we intend to start building in September 2020. I say final, as we’ve bought 3/4 of the non-wood innards already grabbing what bargains we can and spreading the cost…. And some items, like step, towbar electrics, roof mounts are quite specific….! Oh ohhh.
A walkthrough of the CAD model has been published to YouTube HERE…
