Very nice!!!

just wonder if you have problem with the ride height!! in and out of camp site???

Yes, it can be a problem sometimes. The way I have to come out sometimes is drive up the ramp at a 45 degree angle. Unfortunately there is not a lot I can do about it on the way in, it just bottoms out. When the tyres wear I shall replace them with 265x15x70 instead of the current 265x15x50.

isnt it a bright light ? lol!

The bright light is reflection from the flash on the Japanese Quotation badge. It is the same as a St Christopher in the UK. Sort of Good Luck thing.

Well, here it is, in all it's glory - it is finished and on the road. We think it looks stunning and Wellhouse Leisure of Shepley, Yorkshire have done a fantastic conversion job on it.You may pay a little more but you are guaranteed a top class conversion done to perfection.

Thats an excellant job..

Are the window blinds fixed with suckers?

Thanks for the nice comments. Yes, the window night covers are suckers, though they are quality ons and I think they should last OK. They all fit like a glove, even the curved roof ones, which tuck into the edges nicely. Later I may try to design some that slide and are fixed up permanently. The front windows have the thermal made to measure ones. They are sucker also.

Not just the low bridges but also turning out from a down hill junction. The skirt is very low with 50 profile tyres.

Thanks. Your van looks really cool too. We are over your way next week at Nantwich, staying at Cotton Arms Public house and Caravan site in Wrenbury Cheshire from 18th to 21st June. If it's near you why not bumble on over for a chat.

Very functional and neat. Just don't ever ever change the body kit, it's so rare I've not seen one with that moon roof set up. It's just awesome!

Thanks drive-by. The moon setup allows me to walk the full length of the van upright. That is a nice bit of kit you have yourself too.
