I am not sure Jeff will come...
Starting to plan the van, man.

Vanwatch starts HERE!
Current status -

Tyres OK
Brakes - service needed.
Gas - all OK, might upgrade to bigger gas bottles.
Gas Fire - last years's repair still seems fine.
Water heater - wiring checked, fine.
Water - new inline electric Whale pump needed.
Fridge - to be removed and taken to Southend for a heart-lung transplant (unless anyone knows how to vent a Waeco CAS-60 for caravan use).
Shelves - useless internal cupboards removed, replaced with two large bunkbeds for guitars allowing me to bring up to 4 guitars bodhran and mandolin. Looks like shit but works.
Van "hifi" - The old stereo out of the Volvo (see below) needs fitting to the van with a sub hiding somewhere.
Bigger battery - needed to power hifi....
Stabiliser - Bulldog bought off ebay, arrival awaited
Towcar - the Skoda with the dicky clutch has been replaced with a 7 series Volvo GLT, hence the stabiliser to allow planned higher cruising speeds.
Towcar fuel tank - spare in garage awaiting fitting!
