Hi guys-I posted on the Newbie thread a week ago but figured out no-one replies so thought Id get involved here !
Last Monday picked up my 2002 Doblo-1.9 DT. Dark red.....mmmm Im in lurvvv LOL.
Anyway my current plans ( and progress ) for a camper conversion are:
- tinted windows- this Friday
- rear seats out and investigate floor condition/space
- buy chair/bed-spotted a great one in Ikea yesterday-single folding- space underneath and can be put down the middle of the van until I work out how to make best use of space near those metal wheel arch thingies
- awning- not totally decided which one but Royal Traveller tunnel appeals- need to get some kind of pole fitted to roof rack studs for fixing
- got an elec. hook-up for using on serviced caravan sites so I can plug things in like chargers etc-eventually will get a leisure battery to be more
independent.( got a small oil-filled radiator for heat)
-will get a 2-burner butane/propane gas stove for basic cooking/heating water.
- want to get an elevating roof installed eventually so that I can stand up and use the van for getting changed for body-boarding but need to source that and save up.
Really excited about this project- last time I camped was in a one-man tent and travelled by bicycle so this will be sheer luxury
Any suggestions and/or comments will be very welcome
