5th Vanniversary in the Brecon Beacons

Bit of an accidental tradition I've emnded up with, every year I take a trip to Wales to mark my Vanniversary - the date I handed back the keys to my last bricks-and-mortar to full-time van life

Between my white DW8 Dispatch and my blue XUD van, I've now completed 5 years with my Dispatch as my sole residence. It's been an exciting few years and it's taken me to a heap of new places (geographically and personally) and I've loved the size and versatility of these vans for the trips and lifestyle it's given me, especially throughout lockdown where it gave me a lease of life that wasn't available to most.

So to mark 5 years of the van life, I took a trip to a place that I've oddly never been - the Brecon Beacons in South Wales. Had a fortunate couple of very sunny days to enjoy it and explored   big_smile

A beautiful place, somewhere I’ve promised myself I’ll stay at some day having passed nearby a few times.

Does that mean I can say "I've been told my van is just as good as a Ferrari"?

I see by the pictures your van has the ability to change to right hand or left hand drive. Super handy.
