We had our friends son camp in our garage on route to a festival once. Worked well apart from the fact that our mattress just floats above the garage and he was farting all night so it wafted up to us. Won't be doing that again!I was having a look around the same van today Tam and it looks big, how’s little Milo going to get up them steps, I just about got me little stumpy’s up there to look inside…
I did discover though that I can sleep length ways in the garage and have enough room for a little bedsit in there…![]()
I’ve said it before…
“ there’s an English man, a Scotsman and an Irish man in Morocco “ that’s got to be a joke in the making..![]()

It's massive innit. Definitely the biggest I've had on any van . But I think the Flair isn't as ugly as the arto lol ...That screen looks like a bus screen so if a replacement ever needed good be easy to get.

Yes it needs thoroughly cleaned before I can move in which will be a bit of a pain as I'm not sure where I can get both vans together other than his storage yard but then there's insurance issues for moving them but I'll see how it pans out . I may have to go to the yard clean it there and move my stuff over then drive moby to Jackie's and come back for dolittleIt’s going to take a few weeks just for you to clean it all!
I feel a bit sad that it was obviously once someone’s pride and joy…all the little hooks, quirks and fettling things we do on our vans which make them right for us..one day a new owner comes along and thinks “what’s that for?”.
I’m itching to get the curtains and nets in the wash!
Dolittle!! Now that's an understatement.then drive moby to Jackie's and come back for dolittle

Yes the underside looks worse than it is as the person who's been tasked with treating the corrosion mentioned in previous advisories hasn't bothered to clean anything up but just sprayed an underseal stone guard type substance over the top. And it just comes back. It's all solid but needs the bubbling bits rubbed down before being painted with something like hammerite. Moroccans will sort that out for me.Tam, thanks for those photos. I bet when you got underneath you were well pleased with the general condition. Only a few areas you may want to clean up and protect.
The inside is just a bigger version of out Arto and seeing it I wish I had bought the Flair based on what I know now, but 13 years ago it was my first MH and I thought I was in for enough money then, in case I did not like the MH or the lifestyle, but fitted in with both.
You might have to spend a bit to get the electrics to meet your touring style to run all the toys but it will be worth it.
Since when do they allow people into the stones?And for those bored of van photos here's some of stonehenge ... without paying £25 lol. Feckin ridiculous charging people to see stones thousands of years old that were left here for everyone.

After all this time you've got to a stage in life when you can enjoy having a new MH ... and still end up working on ancient ones!![]()
Back in the country for 3 days ……what a GuyJeeso ... 04.10 here
About an hour ago I get woken up ..woman screaming help help help me ..then a load of banging then ohh help I'm on fire, fire ,fire ...well I jumped out of bed staggering about half asleep . Got me shorts on grabbed torch and fire extinguisher and out the van. Woman behind me similar age in a self converted transit , smoke belting out of it but no sign of flames but stinking of melting cables etc . 2 or 3 other half naked people coming out now .
Anyway her battery is under the bed , lifts the bed up and jeeso all the wiring is like 2 core speaker wire it's that thin... battery terminals all rusty just an absolute mess big length of wire running to back of her van has melted to everything she has dumped in there . So for safety I just pulled the positive terminal off the battery .
The van is stinking and full of smoke , no smoke alarm , no co2 alarm no fire extinguisher, woman on her own with a van she bought off someone who'd converted it themselves a few years back and knows nothing about it. She's bloody lucky to be alive.
Anyway there's now a few long haired weed smoking guys assisting her to clear up all her stuff I had to throw out her van. I've Said goodnight and I'm off back to bed .....
No one harmed and no vans lost but feck what a way to be woken up
