Well you know, best laid plans and all that….. …..2020 hasn’t been a great year so far. As usual, we had a plan for the year involving backpacking and cycling trips as well as some campervannig trips in our trusty NV200. Usual stuff, all exciting, and planning to start Van#2…
Build index HERE 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…

Build index HERE As we’ve mentioned, we’re planning a bigger campervan build in 2020, and pretty much committed to this, though the details are sketchy as to when and what chassis, we know what we want and a rough design. To be honest, there are lots of bits that fit…
Over the last few weeks, we’ve met various friends who have said “Haven’t you used the van this year – your blog is quiet!”. Hmmm. Actually yes, we’ve had >50 nights away this year already – we’ve just not blogged/bored everyone about it! But as everyone thinks we’re doing nothing,…
