    Always love to see the poppies proudly on display. Just shows a fit out of a rig and freedom is not out of reach for anybody. Thanks guys.

      Thanks for watching Alex. Yep anyone can do it as cheaply as they like. If you saw the video of my sons camper that we did, the Citroen Berlingo, all in all it cost him £250 to fit it out.

    Good to see. He has the same thought as me for not being restricted by barriers. Good set up

      It does make a difference being able to park easily.

      Thanks for letting us film the van Ian. Off Grid next year is booked. 25th to 28th May over the bank holiday weekend. Hope you can make it. Good news about the upgrades too. Awnings are a big help. What model of Transit is it? We forgot to ask

      I'm just starting a conversion of pretty much the exact same van. It looks like you've made some panels for the pillars next to the barn doors? Possibly with some electronics in? How did you do that? A great idea using that space!

    Hi Ian, Thanks for the video tour of your van. I have just purchased a 2017 Ford Custom Transit LWB that I'm fitting out as a camper. Can you tell me how you charge the extra batteries you have fitted? Any details would be appreciated cheers Graham
