Just thought i would show you my self build efforts, built it about 8yrs ago changed a few things along the way, love going away in it and hopefully will for a few more years yet.
:cheers:
 
That looks very smart Smithy :) Real pro-build territory that one with proper boards, finishing, and edgings. I love the size of it, very compact but a lot of features. And a nice dog too!

Do keep us posted on your adventures and the things you are doing to your van.
 
very sound job mate ! did you buy in the doors or how have you made them,can't quite see the details in the pics,well thought out design too.
 
Lovely van smithy - is one of those taken at Bowleaze Cove?
 
I purchased the boards and edging from a supplier in halesowen all sourced from a suplier to Avondale so the wood is light weight, my wife and myself decided what we wanted from the van (she drew the designs) we then fitted the floor and roof and put in the windows together with the gas and electrics.i then made the frame work and made the doors to size as i went along, we have 2 dogs hence the need for the awning they sleep in there together with an external toilet we also have an external shower fitted at the back of the van and that makes us totally independant (wild camping) over the years that we have been using it the one regret that we have is that we didn't build a long wheel base unit , its great fun and we have toured Scotland and lots of areas in the uk anniechas..jpgcamper van 29th may (8).jpgcamper van 29th may (23).jpgcamper van 29th may (24).jpgcamper van 29th may (42).jpgvan .JPG
