Hmmm...nice motorhome there smudger,but it's only a baby,compared to mine !! :D
Mine is a sort of 'downmarket' version of what Tresrikay is referring to (Anderson). Yes,I AM serious !! I'll see if I can add some pics from my pics folder......If not,I'll take some new ones when I get the chance and put them up for you.
 
Can anyone tell me how to add pics directly from my 'pictures folder' on my pc,please ??
Don't say 'Photobucket' to me....I'm totally crap with that !! lol

Or does anybody wanna volunteer their e-mail,so that I can send them to you ,then put em on for me ?? (Told you I was crap ! :eek:;)

I'll have to take some new pics.....what I've got are far too small......

My 1991 Autosleeper Talisman 2.0 Petrol (Self-Converted to LPG last Christmas). Owned for 5 Years.

The distinctive back Box is home made and mounted on a large Watling Towbar assembly that reaches right to the Rear Axle Mounts. This is soon to be replaced with much lighter home-made box section steel supports as the van is a bit light on the front. We like to explore a lot of very remote and narrow roads which are often very steep and getting sufficient traction on the front has been hairy on a couple of occassions (most recenty climbing up to the Honister Pass on wet roads :eek:). The box is very useful for carrying all the bulky & lightweight items such as beach toys, footballs, wellies etc but combined with the weight of the towbar does make it a bit light on the front! Not going to win any awards for style though. :D Air Assisted suspension keeps it level despite possible R.Axle overload!

The interior of the van can be configured as either 2 forward-facing seats in the rear or 2 large bench seats (both Front seats swivel). We run it configured as 2 singles inthe rear so lose a lot of under-seat storage but this gives considerably more floor space and much more comfortable with 4 people on board for a couple of weeks, hence the useful back box :)

Seen here on a CCC certified site in Nothumberland where we toured for 2 weeks and wildcamped almost 50% of the time. I've added a couple of new locations to the lists.

Vans through the years

CarCamper Austria 1972.JPG

WasIeverThisYoung.JPGNot to good with the techno but I'll give this a try:

Our first van Transit Car-Camper. FGY722J Great build quality but I think the 35 years that have passed since I sold her on may have proved too much!

Vans through the ages 2

Well that seemed to work although the picture titles got 'lost'. This is Transit Autohome HHA742L in Switzerland 1982 Sold on in 85 and still going strong - well going anyway - in Devon.

Vans through the ages 3 & 4

Think I may be getting this together now.

Here are Van 3 Kon-Tiki that we liked very much but the LPG conversion was disappointingly unpowerfull. Added power steering and a 'magic' gear-linkage conversion that made her a great drive but didn't like pulling the Seicento.

And downsized to No.4 a 98 Duetto who has only seen service as a commuter van and mobile office - long commute though. Now she's a Wild Camper and very happy.

Really is good to see such a wide range of vans.

Just thought I would bump this up as I'm sure some of the new members would like to have a look through and may be post some of their own pictures.

I always liked this thread and feel it would be a shame to loose it.
 
If you spot us in Europe it will be in this one

Great to see you back on the site Geoff, you have been missed. Hope all is o.k. Just realised it is nearly a year since our Cromford meet. ... .. I too enjoy this thread. So come on new members show us WHAT YOU GOT.;)
 
We live by the motto Carpe Diem and sure as hell don't want to leave it to the kids. We made it - we'll spend it, is our way.:D AND before we are too damn old to enjoy it.

But there are some other VERY impressive vans on here, probably worth more than our two put together :eek:
