I've just joined the forum and thought I would post to say Hi to everyone.
We've been caravanning for years but always wondered whether a campervan would be better or worse for the kind of camping we do. There was only one way to find out, so last week we bought a cheap, home-converted Transit, which is now sitting on the drive waiting for a number of "jobs" to be finished. We haven't slept in it yet, but will before long. The great thing is that, having got the base vehicle, we have all the kit we would need from our "caravanning side". I can't wait to give it a shakedown run (and the forum here has given me some great ideas less than 20 miles from home!).
I've often thought that wild camping would be great, so I was thrilled when a link I followed yesterday led me to here. What a brilliant site.
Having had a good rummage round our new acquisition, I am already thinking of plans for converting a van to my own design. I'm afraid that the idea of buying a ready-made one doesn't appeal (sorry, motorhome owners), but the idea of building a camper that could be home for an extended, self-sufficient trip fills me with excitement.
Nothing of any value to post here yet, but it's rude to start asking questions without saying hello first! So hello all, and I look forward to chatting and comparing notes in the future.

Its knocked my confidence something shocking, I just hope I can get back behind the wheel and take it in my stride. Tried to blame it on my new Sat Nav system telling me to turn left but didn't wash, Good luck with yours
