ermay gaaaad! Ima gonna close my IG account. I don't haz a roof rack and can't fit one either. WTF can I do? I'll have to go back to adventuring, exploring, travelling and camping if I can't overland and instagram.

August 2018 saw some additions sneak in. LED pothole lights on the roof above each wheel. front fog lights on the bull bar. at some point in 2018 the bullbar appeared as did the front and rear winches. Those fancy aluminium wheels have gone, the weight rating was unknown. now we are riding...

Just some of the things which started to appear. ARB 4 wall room to attach to the awning 42 inch 500 watt LED light bar House batteries ....can't have enough. A hand held CB radio for spotting purposes

Welcome to #OB from UK

For my birthday I bought myself this Rocky Mountain Westy swing away tyre carrier. ..and fit this diesel air heater ready for winter.

August 2017 ARB 2500x2500 roll out awning fit central to the sliding door. This image is now used by Campervan Culture in UK on their awning page.

the original engine, petrol, was reliable and never let me down, but at 15MPG it had to go for something a bit more economical. 1.9L turbo diesel. Not exactly economical to do the conversion, it cost me around 2,500GBP ...and here it is ready to go into the engine bay Bought another gearbox...

Time has come to get this van off the yard and into the MOT station. Where it gets a thorough inspection. This van was last tested 8 years previously and had not been on the road since. 5 new Goodyear Wranglers for a bit of grip. ...and off we go. Nice new MOT. PS. That is my happy face...

Tick list of Things to do is getting shorter. Spring is here, weather getting warmer time to start planning. installed a clock, cuz I didn't have one. And built a wardrobe in the back of the van.

I've been on that same soapbox for yonks. Choose a destination, head for it, camp where it's convenient along the way :-)

G'day Joe, welcome to OB from UK

March 2016, new fuel tank painted and fit. Drop links and bushes replaced Tailgate internal handle, those handles were not fitted to these vans, but I'm a short arse and needed a handle, so the van got one. Daughters hen likes to get involved. I'm sure it has an identity crisis going on. It...

Feb. 2016. Full curtain set from Wuppental in Germany has arrived. ..and it all fits.

Happy New Year. January 2016 was fitting parts back into the van and upholstery Also the 1980's taste for camper interiors for some reason had to resemble a 1960's caravan. I didn't like it. I bought a roll of black carbon vinyl and procceded to do this?

spilt a full cup of strong tea on the carpet :-( fortunately I have a roll of the stuff, gonna replace it once it stops raining here

Dunno if this qualifies as adopt a trail, however I am fond of this lane. Balk Lane is unsurfaced and is possibly the oldest lane in my village. road traffic never runs along it and often gets over grown, which means I usually have to clear it. The lane disappeared from google maps for a while...

Onboard water supply and electrics came next. Not available as a kit for a van as old as this, so created it myself. 50 litres of water and a water level sender unit. Which is displayed here after being filled up from here. There we go, water on tap. next up was the propane stove... I...

G'day , welcome to OB from UK.

UK passport ain't a bad one to have either. There are 174 countries that British citizens can travel without a visa. While they can receive 45 visas on arrival or evisa, and 35 countries require a British passport holder to apply for a visa beforehand. HOWEVER, some of this may no longer be...

that'll be me :-) 2WD and it gets me out and about. it's all about the tyres.
