I joined the site a few days ago and I have just got it together to upload a handful of photos of my van to share with you guys.
I hope I managed to do this right, I'm new to forums and posting!
Thanks guys. It'll be two years this April since I built her and it's all worked like a dream. I spent about four months planning this build and even after a couple of years there is still nothing I'd change.
I'm down in East Sussex at the moment Darren but I live all over the UK. I spent April to August in Scotland last year and April to November in Wales the year before but I'm always moving. I'm often to be found somewhere hilly and remote for the mountain biking. How about you?
Glad your van is working out well for you.
I have a Sprinter as well, a MWB.
Well, I've just moved to Hove, last week. I've been traveling for a few years, but from Cornwall originally.
East Sussex seems like a good place for mountain biking. Where is good near Brighton/Hove?
How strange, I'm in Brighton until about the end of Febuary! We should meet up and talk vans! I've had a look at some of your photos, That's a pretty neat van you have there.
There are a whole load of trails looping over the South Downs Way, I grew up around here so I know these hills very well! Stanmer is pretty good riding or Friston forest over near Cuckmere is a laugh too. Do you ride?
Like your van, built mine in march 09, driven over 50000 since then. In cornwall most of the time but spend about 5 months a year in scotland and Wales.
going to inverness in march for a few weeks.
just trying to find a way to get some pics on here, not that easy for me.
Hi I love your conversion,inspiring! it looks great and the shower bathrooom unit looks amazing where did you manage to find it ? Im just starting off my research phase before taking the plunge . important thini am concerned about is fuel consumption , are these things beasts that drink diesel faster than I can drink beer? (thats pretty damned fast BTW)
thanks for taking the time to post your pics well done
How do you guys fund to travel? Have you saved up for a while or do you work when necessary. I've got an carrer opportunity in dentistry but it means sticking around for 5 years! To be honest no-one knows what can happen in 5 years and the burning desire to get travelling grows every day :(
I used to have a day job in IT, as a programmer. I got sick of doing the same thing everyday. I love to travel. So I started working freelance. This allowed me to take time off to travel.
I moved into making websites. Then made websites that made money. So I make money from a few websites, and I still do some freelance work. It allows me to go travelling when I like. Freelance is not for everyone, and takes time to manage clients, and yourself.
If you want to travel a lot in your life I would suggest training in something you like, then working freelance. If you have a regular day job, you'll always be limited in the travelling you can do.

Looks great that, and very comfortable. At least with the long sprinters, you can get loads fitted in.
