thanks Gordon and bru, as for pictures I normally upload pictures to photobucket and re size image to just under 600 x 600, and replace the original image, when making a post on here or other forums I just copy the pictures image code on PB and paste into the text box that I am posting. image then shows up in post rather than leaving links. There are probably easier ways but this has always worked for me
 
Truck

Did you have to take it to dvla to be inspected?or was photos enough for them,mine is currently out of mot,and would rather get the class changed before re moting it,what form etc have to be completed thanks
 
I just took photo's into the office here in Norwich, as far as I can remember she just filled in the log book for change of body type and sent it off with photo copies of the pictures to Swansea, I think you can just send off the pictures with a covering letter and the completed logbook etc to Swansea. It should be straight forward as long as everything meets their requirements re the interior and now the exterior looking like a motorhome.

the chap who delivered the truck from Staffordshire said it did around 20 mpg. Here's hoping.

That seems about right I used to drive one of these trucks for a living, providing you don't thrash it about you should get 20mpg.

Hi all, just noticed this thread been brought up again so thanks for the latest comments, can't believe how long ago I built this and yes we are still living in it ,unlike the caravan etc we had before this one hasn't fallen to pieces yet and will hopefully be ok for a few years yet.

How about some up to date pics ,now that would be very interesting imho
 
to be honest nothing has changed apart from me cutting a bit of carpet in recently instead of having a few mats laid down. outside is also the same except as mentioned earlier in the post I removed the top set of stripes I suppose it could do with a bit of a tidy up here and there on the paintwork but just never seem to have time to get on with it.
