She may be old compared to these new pop up vans but she’s perfect for us! Mr Jelly has even booked to have heating installed next month!

As I'm not a true camper this does change my requirements a little. Big thing is heating then a bed that can be installed but still let me have the bikes in the van when transporting. Using storage boxes instead of having cupboards. External gas stove. Will be installing the solar panel but not sure I need a 2nd battery as I'm not a crazed campsite gamer , really only need to charge lights and a phone.

The only thing we used the leisure battery for was charging phones and running the water pump. Lighting was provided by LED strings running off AAA batteries. Gas cooker and heater and, importantly, gas fridge which helps keep down the electric use.

They are moving to France and were stopping overnight locally for the tunnel in the morning. Was great to see them again - another benefit of van life 😁
