Couple of days before Van arrives!
We went to the Newbury show at the weekend to look at conversions etc and hopefully pick up a couple of bargains!
Fire Extinguisher
Fire Blanket
Couple of continental mains lead adapters ( we learnt long ago French mains supply on sites that the pole can be either or! so I had two adapters just switched the pole on one)
Sportscraft seat swivels x 2
Most of the LPG fittings sorted
Almost sorted the interior design and colours.
Skyline Roof fitting sorted for 01/07/2016
Roof
bed
solar panel and my windows will be fitted.
Skyline havn't been around for long it seems based at Weston Super Mare but have been patient whilst we decided on what and where and has saved us over £1.2K
So we will spend a night in WSM whilst it is sorted and drive her home on the 2nd with roof window and solar panel all sorted!
Insurance as expected was a nightmare. Companies give yo 6 months to complete basic conversion and you have to notify DVLA
Problem: To secure a decent price as in 5k saving it comes under a lease agreement sort of! Bottom line I do not get the Reg Doc for 11 mnths Soooooo!
Van insured as commercial vehicle but for private use only, no problem. Except when I queried about adding campervan equipment. price went form £245 to £589! Now a campervan fully converted is only £320 for me!
I'll leave it at that for the time being!
