Thanks Vaz most helpful. I normally cross at Newcastle but looking to take the dog away with us so i dont want to leave her in the van for 13 hours. We are crossing at Dover/Dunkirk (DFDS) buy may look into tunnel if they get the immigrant problem sorted as could do without the hassle and delays.
Sorry if i missed it but did you get charged extra for the roof box and how much? If they want silly money for the extra height then i will make up a quick release and chuck it in the van before i get on the boat (You can tell im tight)
As yet my van has no windows but i do have back doors with glass yet to fit and looking for N/S side door but may put a small port hole in the other side as that door will get closed and never used again. To keep them happy if they want to look i will have bench seats along the back doors and behind seats and O/S wall. Up the wall will be a fold down bed and storage along the top so with cushions and soft furnishings it will look the part. That side of things i am not fussed about, im more concerned if they ever check the reg with DVLA as it will still be a van. I am most likely being paranoid and never have bother but always better to ask before hand.

You talking about duty free. Another bonus is Dunkirk is not far from a good tobacco shop as the wife still smokes so we get her enough for the year when we go over. Normally we go to Route66 in south Luxembourg but may not have to go down that way. No doubt being an ex trucker you will know the shops but this is the one we are going to try

We also used to take the bike over but gave that up as less room for the duty free

If rear door seal is OK look at the light cluster itself as that will have a seal round it.

Did you get one? Looking for one for my N/S door or if anyone is selling a door with glass.
