Have been messing with frame to take bike, I was going to make lift with winch but for the moment I have fitted a simple frame and ramp. It will be ok for this summer and at least it will mean we have bike with us for the next few trips.IMG_0629.jpg

Hi. I am very impressed! Strangely I saw your truck from a photo sent to us by Neil from Coldsaver Panels. Been trying to track you down. I am building something similar on a 1124AF currently at Able Vehicles in Shepshed - they have been excellent and so far prepared the chassis and torsion mounts. Panels ordered from Coldsaver. But.. I am stuck on a few bits, you mentioned wheels in an earlier post and a few other bits. Would it be possible to speak to you some time and pick your brains? John 07802 754 320
We have signed up for the adventure overland show which is at Wilton. Not very overland or adventurous as it can only be 5 miles from home! Are any other members attending?
Pictures of show at weekend
great to see other trucks and meet the owners.IMG_0750.jpgIMG_0797.jpgIMG_0799.jpgIMG_0803.jpgIMG_0807.jpgIMG_0808.jpgIMG_0809.jpgIMG_0810.jpgIMG_0811.jpg

Nice! All you need to do is change the wheels and tyres now. Very intrigued by your "gangway" boarding equipment. Still pondering on that one for mine (among other things)
Funny to see my old truck there; the ugly yellow Daily 4x4 coachbuilt in the background of your last pic. Unmistakeable. Had it for 10 years.
Mine is probably bigger than yours.
(isn't that what those long signatures are about?)
I'm talking about my truck, what were you thinking? ;-)
will change to super singles wheels and tyres but need to get the dvla to accept as camper first. That is why pictures are all of our truck with similar campers, we are sending them to Swansea to hopefully get change of use on V5.
strange but the v5 is becoming the most stressfull part of the whole project.

It's kind of uncertain. Maybe they'll call you in for inspection, maybe not. Don't stress on it; for a while I followed the SBMCC forum and people got much less professional builds through without even inspection.
If you're called to Swansea for inspection it's more likely that it's because an enthusiast in the DVLA wants to admire it!
Just be happy you're not trying to register the change of use in France!

Its taken since last may but we have finaly got the DVLA to agree the truck is a Camper Van. this means we can carry on with the MOT as a camper. More importantly we are now able to change the wheels and down rate to 7.5t with a lot more ease. It apears that the DVLA are not happy to register vehicles as Camper Vans, I dont know why but if any body else is trying I would recomend you take the time to speak to your local DVLA office inspectors.
Off to the pub to celebrate!!
