Obviously I may have got this all wrong but hey ! Ho!
Brought a van.. Mercedes Sprinter.. mid life crisis.. not sure as 60+.
Looked everywhere for a van, there are some con artists out there too.
A Midlands lad so started to look locally nothing about what I saw was rot on wheels for lots of money.
Finally found the van I was looking for, low mileage, clean n tidy and a real nice guy was selling it too.
Well not fully understanding van life or van conversions but very capable of DIY I began by marking out the floor space on an A3 piece of paper to scale.. photo copied it 10 or 20 times and it all started there.
I watched that many YouTube videos my wife thought I was staying up late watching naughty movies until I started to get my van elf Sonny involved.
Now Sonny my van elf is my true love from 42 years of marriage and her opinion matters so it made sense to get her involved..
Well that is the introduction done, please let me know how it read from you guys.. remember be kind as my first post on any such forum.
PS. Can you put photos on here..

Thank you, love the name "Whiskyman" as one of my favourite tipples.. Whisky that is..
I pass through Derby twice a week on my way to my work place, Immingham in Lincolnshire, A50, A38, M1, M18, M180 and Reverse, obviously enjoy the reverse more as on my way home then.
But thanks for the welcome note..
Regards
Steve n Sonia
