hi people,
so here are a few pics of the refit so far, decided the garage area was far too big, the L shape seating was also the bed, we were getting fed up with having to mess around making up the bed at the end of the evening, then putting it all back in the morn, so changed the rear layout completely, new single bed for molly. with lots of storage, a permanent double above the now smaller garage, oh yeh, i haven't tried putting the motorbikes in the new space, so fingers crossed my measurements are correct, the shower and toilet area is quite small but usable,
kept the old gas oven and hob as they were both working fine so no need to replace, the dvd tv is nicely fitted, 240 microwave works fine off genny, the strip lighting is 12v, and the eberspacher blown air heater will be back in and working soon.
I like the look of the old truck, rememder this started life as a library bus in 1980, then converted to horsebox, now motorcaravan! have also fitted a large inverter, two water pumps, small cabin lights, the genny will live in the garage with a vent for exhaust, can be started from within the truck.
Plated till sept 10, just changed insurers old firm increased my claim free premium from £340 to £370,TPFT, 4250cc, 6.6ton reg as motorcaravan, 3000 limited milage, told them they were taking the ****, found a crowd called Chaucer, £189, 5000 limited milage.
Now here's a few questions for you:
1) who does breakdown cover for larger motorhomes? my old cover was void as I paid and didn't read the very small print, 3.5ton max, good job i didn't need any assistance whilst travelling this year.
2)have tv-dvd-freeview system, your all one step ahead of me here, do i need a seperate tv licence?
3)BIO FUEL, this truck is 6cylinder, 4250cc, 4 speed, perkins diesel, return of 15-18mpg @ 50mph, advice please.
4)My wife is only 26, yes i'm the luckiest 43 year old wildie, she passed her driving test in 02, does she need to take a seperate test to drive a 6.6ton non power steering, heavey clutched, crunchy 3rd geared hunk of greeness?
thats about it for now, will give you all something to think about whilst you wait to see if those lovely talented irish boys we know as JEDWOOD, get though another week, I am forced to watch under threat of banishment to the barn with the truck!!
cheers
