Hi Chopper!

Ours is a self build, Transit High top LWB. We spent the winter building it to our requirements. It's a LOT more work than we expected!
But, it's now ready to roll and we've had several short trips. Hoping for a lot of long stay trips in the school hols.

Counting the cost of the van, a donor caravan (for the interior), windows, parts & body work materials, paint, Tax, MOT and soft furnishings (curtains, etc.).
I estimate the van only owes us approx £2200. Not bad really. We enjoyed doing it. ... but it was a LOT of work!
