Having not gone the maxx-air route for a couple of reasons, and the van being hot, I’ve made my own vent fan. This is to either blow hot air out of the van, or blow cool air into the van (over the bed) if needed. On high-ish power, it blows…
2021 photos can be seen here Well lets hope 2021 is better than 2020 for all the obvious reasons! But for equally obvious reasons, 2021 won’t be a great year for travel and adventures so we’ll be focusing on testing and perfecting the van and, the main priority, trying to…

As I write this, I’m reliably informed out new van has left the factory after a 6-7 week delay due to the Conrona virus…. But its apparently on a boat which means, all being well, the build will start soon!!! We have most of the stuff so we can crack…
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…
