Hi,
I bought a VW Crafter race van conversion last year and I stumbled upon this forum whilst looking for information about my Truma heater that's taking ages to heat the water. I found some info related to my issue, so thought I'd sign up and say hello.
I'm not that experienced in the camping world (I've done plenty tent stuff in my day though). I hired a motorhome last year and went round the NC 500 and loved it, so I decided with all this lockdown restrictions going on, I wanted to have the freedom to get about and still do things. I drive a VW Transporter and briefly considered converting that, but I really wanted something with a toilet and shower onboard. The choices was either a Mercedes Sprinter, or a VW Crafter. After a lot of trawling through ebay, I saw the one that I ended up purchasing. It was down in Leeds, so after a bit of price negotiation over the phone, I headed down and bought it. I've used it loads since I bought it in August and loving the lifestyle. The van itself was pretty well specced, however I've threw a few quid at it getting some oily bits done and getting wifi in there (plus essentials like bedding, low wattage kettle and suchlike).
I'll no doubt have some questions and be seeking some advice on a few things and I'm a big fan of forums for such things.
Arron.
