Been a while since I've dropped by here, hope everyone is OK.

The tenth anniversary of my purchase of Brenda is coming up. Her transformation from courier van/mobile shed into camper is ongoing, and i'm taking my time over it - but the wife and I have already enjoyed a couple of holidays in her, and much more mechanical work has been done to keep the van safe and reliable.

Latest work done: new remanufactured steering rack (total cost £320 parts & labour)
4 new Goodyear Efficient Grip van tyres fitted.
O/S wheelarch mini cupboard made from old plywood
Vinyl floor put in
All insulation installed including floor
Wiring purchased but not installed yet
Red leatherette interior trim started ?
Driveaway awning tent purchased ( Gumtree bargain )

Trips done as camper:
Wareham, Dorset and Chudleigh, Devon.

Jobs pending:
Mystery oil leak
Glow plugs probably need doing

Warning: incoming holiday snaps
?

Slightly confused for a mo there when I thought you had a music studio in your van! smile

Durdle Door I see.
Last time I was there, early eighties, we walked to Lulworth Cove along the cliff path. The grass and bushes were covered in glow worms. Not seen one anywhere since.

Proper lovely down there. We walked the opposite way from Lulworth though it was daytime, so no glow worms.

If you're ever down that way in your van, i can recommend the New Inn at Church Knowle near Wareham. 12 quid a night for a pitch, no hook up but a good outdoor shower and superb food.
