Hi is the a company that has some way of transfering a photo to vinyl? Thought it would be nice putting a few pics of where we go on the van.

Vinyl comes of quite easily with a hair dryer / heat gun.... Biggest problem is usually the glue/gum left behindCompanies that make vinyl promotional signs for commercial vans would probably do it as a one off but it wouldn't be cheap. Might be worth asking at whichever garage does your servicing. We had a plain adhesive vinyl patch custom made to cover the skylight panel on our car's roof when some of the paint started to bubble and flake. It was our local MoT guy who suggested the solution.
Main problem of course is getting the stickers off when you part with your vehicle. That can be a real bugger.
The ink from a standard household printer will be no good for external graphics.http://www.photopaperdirect.com/blog/?p=1970
Your right many thanks I can do it myself, thanks. @magicsurfbus you are right i will have to be tasteful.... as if i know how.

You could do it yourself but you shouldn't. The reason is that your inkjet printer at home use water based ink that isn't colour fast. It will look lovely when you print it and first stick it on your van but it will start to fade within weeks and will be gone within a year especially if you spend a lot of time somewhere sunny.
Getting a proper company to do it will obviously a bit cost more, although probably not as much as you expect, but they will be using the correct kit and the correct inks for the job.
This is part of what I do for a living so my post is based on experience and industry knowledge, not just my opinion.
If you want to fit graphics onto a surface that has no creases it is very easy.OMG love those vans...got to do it now, they look amazing and I have two GS's waiting to go up.

The best solution to get the gum off is isopropinol or methylated spirit.....soak wipe and repeat.
Doesn't your last sentence constitute child abuse?or brake cleaner like the van sales co's do.
Op just load your images/photo's etc; on a usb stick & the sign makers can use that. That's all I do here if I want any. If you want to use ones from the internet then they'll normally have stock ones to choose from.
I had a couple, 1m x 75cm, done ( handed) cost me 74€. Two small
ones of Lorca castle, 55cm x 15cm were 15€ .Most companies here do lots as most trucks have multiple versions of Jesus, Virgin Mary , etc. Photo's of the kids blown up are very popular .
