Time to hit the road again. Here’s what I’ve done to get my van ready for travel and to keep it running nicely…

A DIY service

The game of keeping this old van alive continues. It’s very rare to see these vans on the road now. Who’s going to be the last LDV Convoy standing?

Ok, see you on the road…
