Title: Hello! Circus musician with first van. NEWB.
Post by: Gingertonic on October 16, 2016, 07:36:18 AM
Hello lovely van-lifers. After several months of searching 24/7 I am (almost, deposit paid, coming home on Monday) now the owner of a 1997 LDV Convoy who I've decided to name 'Nana'. She's a lovely minty green - Nana means mint in Serbian. Nana is also the name of the dog in Peter Pan who cares for for Darling family. Yes I am the sappiest.

So she's my first van AGH! but as a circus worker it's not the first time I'll have lived in a tiny space on wheels. Actually she will feel like a palace in space compared to my tiny wagon bunks I've had previously. She has work to do but hoping to take her to my next contract in Holland this winter (already have accommodation in a chalet sorted but driving over in her and doing some Home Improvements whilst I'm there) and hopefully have her ready for living in to work around Denmark for 6 months in 2016.

She's some work to do but everything is there, just needs a good tidy and some futureproofing.
Looking forward to getting stuck in and getting to know some more vandwellers :)
