The real conversion begins

 The first big step in converting the van was always going to be insulating and carpeting the back. This being our fist conversion we needed a little bit of  help to point us in the right direction.  Mark @ megavanmats was a great help and everything was ordered ready for a weekends hard labour...

1st job is to strip out all of the panels and mask off anything we didn't want covered in glue Check out that nice dust sheet!

Biking

The Van is proving to be the ultimate biking tool.

Load up and go biking, throw them back in again drive home - brilliant!

Some photos from a very cold (puddles turned to ice as soon as they hit the bikes & gears started to freeze!) but sunny day @ Llandegla

Unloaded ready to go

Job 1 - Tinting the rear windows

The most immediate job was to get the rear windows tinted, a quick e-mail and an hour later it's really transformed the van, thanks Richard @ Ultimate Tinting Nottingham

New Year & The Test

With the Van sitting outside we've decided to give it it's first test run.
A trip to the lakes in the snow, New Year in Ambleside, biking in Grizdale forest and a winter trek up Scafel Pike, the van proved itself over and over - going to need some insulation if were going to carry on sleeping in it at -2!

Very snowy Scafel Pike
