The Dispatch | Expert | Scudo Hub

I would say that looks like O/S door..Short of going out and looking at mine...
They never look fully flush to the "cab" doors they always seem to sit little proud... My friend put a second hand N/S sliding door on his Scudo after it had a biff... PITA getting it to fit tight to the seal IIRC a combination of that striker pin and the catch at rear of door ....
I really should ask him how, I think his doors are tighter fit to the seal than mine at the top.. .... unless he's just bent the door in !... "bush mechanic"

BTW.. when he was looking for a N/S door he was offered one @ DA Autoparts, Dumfries in white with a window, they had several without glass, one of which I think he took,  but that was about 3 months ago "Still You never know".... It was lying there for ages he said, I don't know if they couldn't get rid or it was dearer or lettered but he refused it.

Before you seal up your off side door here's what's behind mine

Gas cupboard, water..... access

I like my retro muscle bikes too just like the stuff i had when I was but a kid... On occasion I played with bikes off road ( 87 to 04 had and abused a Honda ATC 200X trike) off N on since I'd got rid of my last road bike (Mortgages, kids, responsibilities) and realized (now divorced) when a few of my mates returned too and bought a bike or tarting up what was in the garage, what I'd been missing. So to ease me back into things after 25 yrs away I got to play with a ER5 and took a shine to the GSX 1400 a mate next-door bought, But got a fright at how much a decent twin shock muscle bike was and what I could get for my budget. I got wind of a fully boxed up ZR7 ready for Touring but was gone before I got there. I then went on the hunt for a gsx750 Inazuma (baby brother to GSX1400)
Before I found one I fell for this little 650 Bandit.
It's been a great wee bike, Actually hitting harder than its size would suggest, especially dragging my fat ar** and all the guff that's put on it.
I was going to on a few occasions trade up to a 1250 Bandit, XJ1300 or something more akin to the mostly touring I do. But we went and bought a RV125 Suzuki (which I love, why are wee bikes and cub 90's and the likes such a laugh ?) instead for my partner as she wanted her own bike to come out on so now I've had it for almost 8 yrs. But then after the guts of a years worth of medication and treatment for my partner a couple of yrs ago It became apparent that I'll have it a bit longer (I am quite attached to it). we got the van as the requirement is needed more for glamping if we are to be able to tour.

To wet you whistle this is looking back down the first part of crossing over the "Pass of the Cattle" (Photo doesn't do it justice)

One of the last Zephyr 1100s with spoke rims  "very appealing" .....beggars can't be choosers A decent 1100 would suffice

correct me if I'm wrong but did the ZR7 I mentioned earlier not have the 750 zephyr engine in it?

And as if to redeem ourselves on this forum..........

It occurred to me if I called DFDS  again and had the same conversation all over again about shipping the "camper" out Dover-Calais/Dunkirk

Am I likely to get the same advice/answers ?

Just been doing a sort of general ferry price search,........ as you do...... and it seems that " MYFERRYLINK" is no more and its boats have gone to  DFDS.............. So it'll be a choice between DFDS and.................. DFDS then after all

cheers.............

No I wasn't charged extra as such with DFDS,  when on phone to them I said there was a roof box but it still came in under 2.35m overall height category I'd booked which I would still have paid same without box as van is over the 1.84m category I'm sure. I have since  lowered the box height and like you I'm prepared to remove it if necessary...... I'm sure it's P&O want to know if you have and how higher or longer the car is with box, bike rack ... LD lines maybe as well can't remember off hand.....
After all these years worrying about trailer heights.... I really should know better and measure the van with and without box

Ive heard of .... but never had or made time to find route 66 even though 18 months ago we returned through Luxembourg to Arlon to get to Bastogne

I was going to say Head for Adinkerke but you've beat me too it now I see your link.
Normally I would've said head out Dunkirk on the old corridor to Adinkerke as as soon as you cross border there's a petrol station, cafe, and round back a wooden shed selling booze/ fags ... But nowadays

As the docks outside Dunkirk and it's easier NOT to go through middle any more So.....
(just off roundabout to your left last one 5th I think ...... just before you reach the M-way....  Pidou wine/beer cash N carry .....A bit like Eastenders at Calais was  just not as big)
Anyway
Get off boat head out to A16 /E40 head east look out for J.65 Ghyvelde/Hondschoot (or something it's about 15/no more than 20 mls from Dunkirk) the slip road curves right back on it's self and down to roundabout .... Take first exit it's the one that goes through a (wrinkly tin ?) tunnel under M-way.......head right into and straight through village/town all the way to the far end... crossroads at the canal you need to stop here.... (There's a Carrefour supermarket 100yrd over canal if needs) ..... but turn right this side of canal this is where the old  corridor customs offices were/still are (wide road,lots parking bays).... carry on for Adinkerke  but about half way along is the old petrol station I mentioned...... It's been tarted up in the last ten yrs Jeess it was rough (was an Eastenders at one time) place seems bigger than I remember, sells booze, fags, chocs.... (L'Auberge)... can't miss it>has TABAC written across roof... this is where we've tended to get our first and last fill of fuel of late ... It has pay at pump but  take your card inside first if it's like mine (used to work on p@p here and the carrefour along the road but no more) just remember it closes at 22.00hrs ... there is another station in Adinkerke but Ive always found this one easier in/out and usually cheaper ....Then head into town..... we normally head for real tobacco XL (it's the one with bluesbrothers out side)   
If it's your first time in Adinkerke, if you have time walk/drive up N down and check them all out it's good fun checking out the bong's/hubba bubba's  etc paraphernalia...... OOOOHHHHH
Prices are much of a muchness it's the offers to temp you in (you'll soon get the gist and your fav shop)

There's not nearly as many wine /Tabacco shops as before they used to be dotted all the way along and around the roads and up back streets .... but still lots mostly on main drag beside canal however look up some of the side streets there are still a good few tucked away.......  there is now a 22.00hrs/10.00pm curfew as things got rowdy/noisy and local couldn't sleep when it was 24/7

so if you late off the boat ... after 22.00hrs "not shops are open till then" ... Take the road one junction off M-way after Adinkerke not Ghyvelde that would be 2 then....  10mls from Adinkerke.... 3mls off m-way if that... should be N8 for Ypres it's a/was a truck stop/ cafe/ pub from what I recall....." Tabacco warehouse" it's open 24hrs no fuel as I remember ...
In fact I think it could be in your website link as they seemed to have taken on a few stores around the town........

I/we have friends in Fallingbostal and Arnsberg  Germany .... the Arnsberg friends were heading over here for a wee  Xmas N new year tour of Scotland  ......  On Christmas eve they were turned away at Dunkirk with their camper because the Dog's passport was not up to date or some such problem !!

I must admit I did become a fan of the chunnel not so much at first but when an away day return was between £15 & £20 max my mate and I were going out almost fortnightly and not just to Adinkerke.......cite europe at Calais Coquelles was a favorite especially with the girls.... my partner and stopped in there last year and got lost with all the new sh*8 they've built around it

All this talk's started to give me itchy feet...........  Cheers

Took me a minute or two work out what's going on with your floor....... I had for a very very short period  the use/trial of a Peugeot expert WAV when my partner really wasn't doing so good and she was in a wheelchair all the time. (she didn't like being wheeled/winched, stuck in back ... Also once but not at same time obviously had her motor bike strapped in the back )..... I had a similar vision to what you've built ..... My friend since sold the van, (He owns a garage) But still it was always damp, I guess being 18yrs old with only 40,000mls on it, no heater blower, headlining had fell down and it standing about most of it's life doing nothing didn't help.... but the seed was sown..... I measured up a Caddy, Berlingo, Combo and Transit connect. but really no better off than the 306 for all the extra investment (found out we could sleep and almost stretch out  in the back of a 306 hatch in one particularly spectacular storm on route to Spain) I decided to look for one of these or relay/boxer type vans and was lucky to trip over what is now our little Dispatch camper..... We are not to bad for space even without the n/s seat only turned round but amazed at the extra space you've got with both seats turned and not having sink/cooker unit across o/s door.....How do you support bed with cords/from what, where when extended for sleeping

Did the very same loop couple times now over last good few years looking forward to doing same with this van and finding even more nooks N crannies than I/we have up to now........  High on the (bucket) list is to save up for an Island hopper to/between the Hebrides... and also a definite return to Orkney for us and have more than the 3days we squeezed in on last years tour on bike.......... Not forgetting and already getting penciled in  An attempt to see the Aurora Borealis over the next 6 months somewhere around Dunnet head............. Heard friends talk of those festivals but never been nor have I attempted to get to the Wickerman or the Eden and all 4 of them pretty much on my doorstep
