    There's something about the colour yellow and black I really like...plus it's a safe colour along with White on our roads; pedestrians and other road uses notice you're there 👍
    That First big bus was nice too. Good show Mel.

    I drove a slightly shorter version of this one as an ambulance. Provided you do rust prevention and some basic maintenance, they are bombproof. Also, because of their straight walls, much better for a vanbuild than a Sprinter.

    I love the fact you have a place like this to communalise van builds. Desperately want to find one in west Cornwall, or if none exist, start my own. Any tips? Perhaps there is already a video on starting such a hub?

    Interesting that Sean is going gas-free. We'll be starting a new van build soon (ish) and my desire is to have everything electric (apart from the engine, obv!). I hope you'll keep us all updated on his progress 🙂. BTW, Varios FTW! Saw an amazing one on holiday in Wales recently. Unfortunately it trundled past so I didn't have a chance to have a good look.

So the problem I have is my 20 year old Conway Cruiser (a folding camper) this year I have found severe wet rot in the side panels. To carry out a good repair I need somewhere with cover. Would you be able to except this type of unit and what is the cost of renting if it is a goer? Martin

      It's the nature of truck derived vehicles and buses, they're all thirsty. It's a trade off, size versus touring. The plus side is having room for a massive stove and full size sofa, extra width etc.

      ​@fraserhardmetal7143 true, there's just the 5 tonne Iveco and over sized Sprinter. You used to get the Dodge 50 series 5tonne, many years sgo the A series or the Commer walk through and most truck manufacturers made 5tonne models.

They were notorious for being poor starters. If they carried on making them upto the late 80's they might of got a larger version of the 2.5di Teansit lump.
