I had the pleasure of meeting John, Bernie, Martin and their better half's his weekend at Moffat, had a nice time talking to them all and hope we can meet up again sometime.
Here are a couple of pictures from this weekend.

While I don't have a commer, I do have a camper, here it is....
My wee CA.

Hi Jimmy and welcome to the forum, you took some cracking pictures and everyone on here likes pictures. Nothing wrong with your wee van but can we have some details about it and more pictures please.

That Bedford is a beaut, makes me want a swim when I look at it . Was a toss up between a Commer and a CA when I was originally looking for an old camper, was just that the right commer came up first.

Way back in about 1977 I had a mobile green grocery round in Doncaster and my vehicle was a Bedford just like yours. It was a right good work horse[^]

Thanks guys, like a lot of people on here, my van holds childhood memories for me, if it wasn't for that, I would probably have a Commer.
This picture is for John and Bernie , leaving the wife at home does have some advantages lol.

Not really a lot to tell, it's a 1958 CA dormobile. I have had it for about 3 years . It had a full body off resto around 10 years ago so all I have had to do is keep it well maintained and clean.
I have done a weber conversion, put electronic ignition and a Dynamator on it to help with fuel consumption and reliability. I don't want to do too much more to it preferring to try and keep it as original as I can. A couple of things I would like are a roof rack and an external sun visor. Oh and a wee tent for outside the bak of it
