MOBY GOES TO TURKEY. A tam and pups adventure.

[Northernraider]

You didn't park close enough to them.
That's not a mouse it's a shrew.

I didn't want to block them in just make a point that these spaces were meant for Motorhomes.


Looks like a mouse lol ...what's the difference? I've heard of shrews but hadn't seen one to my knowledge

 

[Lenny HB]

Shrew's taste bitter,a cat will tell you, they catch them but never eat them.

Needs a couple of Motorhomes to park across the back of them & the drivers go for a long walk.

6.5metre pvc now drove in and has had to park across 2 car park spaces.

Now what will happen is they'll go for a walk . The cars in the camper spaces will all leave and locals will point and Tut at the camper in the car park spaces

 

[Northernraider]

There are a lot of Dutch here , was the Same yesterday but at least half the vehicles in the car park are nl plates .. easily spotted as front ones are yellow

Yes I think if I buy it I'm considering having the bumpers and front headlight surrounds painted the same colour as the body. If I could remove those graphics without leaving marks I would . I'm not keen on them

Or just look for a 2005 van 3 litre with chain, all painted and colour coded, Oh you don't like the cupboards as much better bathroom IMO, might be more money for just one year newer though as they are considered as more desirable.

Possibly well over the budget I'm willing to spend.

I love the interior in that van . I prefer the older wood etc than the modern white and zebrano interiors .

I'd have preferred chain driven though.

But realistically the iveco ones don't come up very often , if you look on ebay just now at all the neismann vans available most are fiat based and smaller. And a lot more expensive.

This one is in my budget and if its as nice in person as it looks from the photos and the mot advisories etc are minor and treatable it will do me fine. I can have the plastics painted for a couple of hundred quid and then polish up the body it should look grand.

I don't want to spend £50k on a van

The lower skirts will be aluminium, the rear bumper and corner uprights and rear wheel arches will be ABS and the front shell and front arches fibreglass.

EDIT sorry the wood finish is the same as the 2005 versions, it was the tag axle one that was different and confused me it's also got the Corian worktops in the kitchen and bathroom that would have been an option back then also having a cab door is quite rare.

Yes when I said plastics I actually meant all the bits that are currently painted blue but have faded or peeled.

I had all the ones done on the euramobil last year in Morocco and it made an amazing difference.

I have grp restorer ( from Feltwell ) that I'd hope would shine up the grp front and the aluminium sides etc should polish up nice with a bit of work.

I think prior to the last couple of years its been a well loved looked after van. Sadly because its been left sat around the underside appears to have suffered. I'll know the extent when I view it . But I think if I buy it then it will be improved immensely over the next year.

If however it's worse than I've been told I'll be walking away and waiting for the next one to come up.

 

[Northernraider]

But I do this interior it's homely and cosy looking.

And a bit of paint and polish will have the outside looking spot on

What is it with these feckin Germans. ..

They don't even try to be discrete

 

[The Coops]

At least they are not willy waving at you like the French do!

 

[gpat]

That's a bit unfair. At least he is pointing in the right direction. Could be worse. Much wurst.

Think Bratwurst

If this is the lpg filler below the gas locker .



I'm wondering what this is and the bit underneath

One close to door is diesel filler . The water filler is further back under kitchen window... so what's this filler for I wonder.

Could it be the exhaust for the heating system?

 

[Mousy]

Something to do with the generator?

 

[Barclaybasher]

Don't paint it red Tam

 

[Lenny HB]

1st pic is LPG filler

 

[Northernraider]

I think that's above the water filler, both above rear wheel
