sold my soul...

Finally bought a motorhome yesterday after loads of searching and many journeys to see badly advertised stuff, ready for the grand tour of Europe next year now the boss and school have fully approved it. New baby arrived last week so needed something bigger for a couple of years and until can get rear 3 point belts fitted to the Spacevan.
first job is fitting lpg Gas IT kit for heating, cooking and BBQ, gets rid of the issue of finding bottles on the continent, second job is doing the cam belt that's at 5 years old.
It's not too big and a little older, couldn't face driving a monster newish van, just not our style.

Did I miss it, must have - congratulations on the new arrival:D
Van looks pretty good too:)
 
Ta, Yer little girl - Grace, she's cool.

vans a 2001 model, 2.8 diesel, 38k on the clock and pulls like a train but still gets 30+mpg... Great 'little' vans. Got a fixed French bed at the back and an over cab one so plenty of space for 4 months.
 
only planned place up to now its Paris and Pompei, if in Italy seems rude not to no to Croatia... Didn't think about Bosnia will take a look Paul. Going to join Britstops, meant to be great staying at farms, pubs and Vinyards, just buy a pint, bottle of wine etc and can stay for free... Meant to be brilliant, anyone using it at moment?
 
Jim, we do Britstops. When it's good it's very good, but we have had a couple where it was obviously a business in trouble, trying to drum up a bit of extra custom through the scheme. Generally though some pleasant surprises, and we've stopped in places we wouldn't have thought about without it. Each country seems to have its own scheme which is separate from Britstops but affiliated. We haven't used the non-UK schemes yet.

The Commer always gets lots of interest!
