No doubt, any avid readers (lol!) will be asking, why are we thinking of Van #2 after just building the NV200 campervan – and no doubt assuming its not working, or is wrong, etc etc. So just to clarify 🙂 …. The NV200 was built with a 5 year plan…
Research For various reasons, the van #2 build project has been brought forward to 2020 – and this time it will be bigger and better. It’ll be a good couple of years of research, stealing inspiration, finding products and suppliers. Its all listed here which may be a good starting…
