Sounds like he's had a great time.
It's threads like this that make me want another van. I miss my old van
He needs more Tennents than that!
Only if he's planning on cooking lots.
He has had a bloody brilliant time. Even his broken hand has pretty much healed.
Sadly, uni starts in a fortnight....
Still it’s these little adventures that give you pub stories for life 🙂

I regret not doing more of it when I was young, you can’t beat travel for expanding the mind.

Also different travel give you different pov . Travel for pleasure Vs travel for work. Both valuable.
A closure on this thread.
The van is sold...
Funnily enough, running a large vehicle on a student budget has proved too much. That and the summer 2023 plans don't now include a van, so it was being used as a day van. He's in a house with 5 cars already - and two of them have added him to thier insurance as he reduces thier premiums.
We spent last weekend cleaning the van and touching up some wheel arch rust that had emerged.
It's cost him a years insurance and about £1k of service and repairs - because every penny he put into the build he got back... It sold in 4 days for asking price.
Sounds like a satisfying end to a great adventure!
I know. He's had a great adventure, which I'm properly jealous of.
Mrs_oab and I were tempted to buy it, but it's not the right vehicle for us, and not this year with holidays already booked...
A great end to the Cheap Camper thread.
Sounds like the right result for everyone.
Good thread! Enjoyed following it!
