I've bought a van!
If you've read my content before, you'll know I have been talking about buying/building a campervan since I started on steemit way back in 2016.
Well, I've finally gone and done it.
This was me looking very pleased with myself a few weeks ago when I offered the owner £3500.
This is her a week later while visiting my friend @sallylloyd in the beautiful Peak District.
You can see here the wheelchair loading ramp in the back. One of my first jobs is to get this removed (that's where a bed is going).
I will document my progress as the build progresses. (So far all I've done is removed some of the lettering on the outside)
She needs a name! Suggestions so far:
- The big blue magical memory making Machine (my suggestion, overruled by everyone else!)
- Big Blue
- Betty Blue
- Bluebelle
(You can see the theme!)
For now she's referred to as 'the BB'
Suggestions please!
My plan is to have bench seats & a table at the rear that concerts to a double bed, and a kitchen. At later stage I may include a shower, but I'm trying to keep it simple... Camping on wheels rather than hotel room on wheels!
Oh and I want a wood stove installed!
I shall past more as the conversion begins.
I can kinda see why you'd consider Betty Blue as an option :)
How about the Mystery Machine?
Oh the Mystery Machine. I like that.
I also like the "Mystery Machine. :)
So exciting! Congrats on your new van! I'm dreaming of a campervan, too. Look forward to reading about your adventures!
Thank you... I've been talking about it for yeeeaaaarrrs. It feels good! (even if I haven't built it yet)
Nice van, kept us all toasty warm after playground and walking! 😄
Oh I have another name: The Big Blue Brexit Escape Pod
lol! (Funny, not funny... but, still funny.)
Oh man what a bargain! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
As you are Irish and I know you I have one great advice for you. Don't drink and drive to much! :))
haha you smart ass. Why drive after drink when there'll be a cosy bed? :P
