Hi Chopper!

Ours is a self build, Transit High top LWB. We spent the winter building it to our requirements. It's a LOT more work than we expected!
But, it's now ready to roll and we've had several short trips. Hoping for a lot of long stay trips in the school hols.

Counting the cost of the van, a donor caravan (for the interior), windows, parts & body work materials, paint, Tax, MOT and soft furnishings (curtains, etc.).
I estimate the van only owes us approx £2200. Not bad really. We enjoyed doing it. ... but it was a LOT of work!
 
ah cool thought it was the same van
im chopper123 on the other forum :D
 
We have a self build too. An LDV Convoy, chosen for space not speed. :D
 
lol you hoped ha ha

carnt wait for the kids 6 weeks hols now so we can just head off for weeks
always finding new places thats probably the best bit for us lol
 
tell me about it, I'm in a mad rush now finishing jobs off just so we cant get away, not that theres alot left to do, got the main job I wanted to do done, running water, funny how the simple things make you smile when their done :D
 
yes very true
were still using a tub with a tap on it
but hopefully will get a submersable pump and a tap soon will be alot better
but have to do bits at a time when we can aford it
 
i have built a van well lorry its a 7.5 ton iveco it took 18 months to complete but i am allways changing things mot due next week fingers crossed.
 
mine is a selfbuild , i am mostly in France andd Holland . Heading south this weekend in fact , live full time in the van , tow a "shed" behind for the bikes and other esentials. Why do i have so much stuff , i thought this was a simple life , but then i might find a river to canoe, a hill to climb , might need a second shed soon!
