We spent what seemed like a
lot of time trying to buy and set up a van, which is still in progress really…
We bought a van advertised on Craigslist, after driving around to look at a
few, and then pulled out the seats and Lawrie built a basic bed to put in it –
high enough to put all of our stuff underneath it.
So then we bought a
bunch of boxes to put our stuff in, and worked out where to put them for easiest access – so
we did that with much of our stuff to be accessed by the van’s back
door, but our central locking has since stopped working, which for some reason
means we can no longer open the back door at all… So lying on the rather high
mattress to access our clothes is where it’s at! And curtains to cover the
(thankfully darkly tinted) windows are still to be finalised, but so far we’ve
only had a couple of nights in it, thanks to the lovely hospitality we’ve been
shown by the friends over here!
So more photos of the van
are still to come, and hopefully we’ll get the back door access/central locking
fixed soon somehow! J
It looks great! I was going to comment that I really liked the door set up at the back and how useful it would be for getting stuff out, but on second thoughts... not so useful if it doesn't open! Good luck with that!
ReplyDeleteHighly recommend a clothes stash hanging from the roof if you can work it - makes it way easier to get dressed in bed than having to dig around under the bed for your clothes! :-)
Yeah I was quite excited by being able to have the back door partly open when it was hot etc, but... we'll see how we go! NO chance of hanging anything from the roof, as we're sleeping not too far from the roof at all! Lots of handy pockets etc though (mostly near the back door of course!) and places to stash things handy under the bed :)
