I was gonna say an autobox so woman can take a turn, but even if it was full auto she STILL would not take the wheel ( as she often says, why own a dog and bark your self )

Apart from that I would perhaps like a BIG heki over the back end on the van as it always quite dark back there

20 years (unless you count my dads VW which makes it 52 years with a few gaps!!)
Being rather fond of V8 engines, my first thought was something like a 429cu-in Ford engine in Udo.

But that would destroy his character, so I've scratched that idea.

I do like Phil D's TARDIS suggestion.:thumb:

But maybe an unlimited supply of good single malt whisky and decent wine could work?

Or, if we're being sensible, then a larger fridge / freezer, larger gas hob, more worktop space and a water heater that works whether you've got bubbles in your system or not.
I've discovered, unfortunately, that malt whisky may be the cause of bubbles in my system::bigsmile:

Not possible on semi auto box as it still has a normal clutch usually. BUSBY::bigsmile:
So, like a manual box, you can leave it in gear.

Not quite the same as the full mechanical lock usually provided by the Park facility of a traditional auto box, but mine hasn't rolled down the hill (yet).

The rear view/reversing camera, you cannot see the tow ball when reversing and when in rear view unless its right up your backside you cannot see anything.
I have asked Swift if they can be adjusted and they say no as they are fixed.

I want to find out where the cloaking device switches off......so that the half blind in a rush idiots turning out of the side roads actually see me coming!:Sad:

I also want one that has a robot attachment to take the loo to the emptying point and an ever extending hosepipe to fill up the water tank from taps that are too far away to reach without moving the van.:Cool:

Almost everything has now been altered to suit us. Extra fuel tank, extra 3 way fridge, extra solar panels, extra batteries, oven, etc. The fitted carpet has been replaced with vinyl flooring. The only thing that I would like is more kitchen work space. It cannot be done, so I will continue to eat out as much as possible :Smile:.

1. Raise the bed to put a large garage under it. :thumb:
2. Put all the extra kit that Snowbird has in said garage leaving room for Scooter and Cycles. :thumb::thumb:
3. Put whole habitation unit on either a 7.5 tonne Merc or MAN allowing for under-floor storage. :thumb::thumb::thumb:

That sounds a lot like our next van could be. ZZZZZZZ dream dream dream

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:I would have to wait 20 years to be able to buy that particular unit. I'll settle for something a bit more affordable a bit earlier. We can all dream :thumb:
