Hi all,

I've got my van and I'm just making sure everything is mechanically sound before I start on the conversion. What problems did you find before you started? I've found that van bodywork doesn't age well compared to a car of the same age, I'm currently researching Mig welders...

It seems at the moment all I seem to be doing is fixing problems with the Van!

Hi all,

I've been interested in doing a van conversion for a while even more so when I stumbled across Mike's story.

I'm starting to look at van's but would appreciate some advice. I'm in the UK, what would you recommend from experience? What would you avoid?

I know Mike's conversion is using a LDV convoy, I've read quite a few bad reviews about them and it's put me off them a little. I've been looking at a Iveco Daily LWB as they seem to be quite reasonable, but there might be a reason for that.

Is having a shower a sensible idea? You'd have to carry alot of water to run it.. plus it would take up quite a bit of space. But I like the idea of not being reliant on finding a shower.

Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan
