Any advice greatly appreciated.Also I will probably selling my T4 pretty soon, full custom conversion, 195k, R reg, total bomber van, loads done mechanically, just looking to upgrade.. please keep in mind if your looking
New insurance = no breakdown cover... (it used to be covered on our French insurance)So, who covers old vans? It's a 1998.
I'm likely to get hold of a family golf mk5 to use. I saw this, http://wonenineencamper.com/late-night-diy-40-euro-vw-golf-camper-early-morning-dieselgate/. Looks like a relatively quick job to get a flat platform, and I'm 5'9 so should fit.Is sleeping in the back of that going to be miserable? I'm not planning on sleeping in it for many nights in a row, but want it to be a viable option if I go to Font for a few days for example.What else would I need to do to make it more comfortable? Insulation on Windows. Camping light. Mattress topper or bouldering mats (not sure my Ocun dominator will fit lengthways, but organic full pad should be fine).
I'm going to Spain this winter and staying in the van (insulated vivaro.) Just wondering if it's worth getting a heater? Would probs go for a propex if needed.
