Van

 Trip in brother's electric van today...to see a friend's 2004 Fiat based Self Contained campervan...he lives near Christchurch.... Christchurch NZ....

It was his trade example for a trade fair in 2004. For the past 4½ years it has been sitting in a farmyard...moved 18 months ago across the yard.

It is sweet inside..but a bit dingy outside.

If only it wasn't so far away! A while ago I got a quote to move it up to us...£500+....not practical as we couldn't do any work on it.  It is 150 miles from the Oily One who could work on it...

We have to tell our friend what his options are...what the cost of renovation would be....his one idea has been to return it to NZ...but that is probably not financially feasible.

Now, I would love to have it....but....

Go Electric Vans!!! (Not that I am biased or anything 😄)... the motorhome one looks like it needs rather a lot of attention. That could be money, money, money. But I totally understand the appeal! YAM xx

I wish we could afford to go electric!!
If we could get the camper to the Oily One renovating the underside working bits and the engine would be feasible..even if just to sell on.

I suppose 150 miles is too far to tow behind a bicycle...
