Having only just made it home last night due to van coughing and splutting with a few complete melt down power losses and 2 highway standstills. We went directly to Stus mums for dinner and to relax a little before braving our house. We've been back a few days now and although everything is a little manic getting the house ready to let, it is nice to see friends and family. Nothing really changes and to be honest I kinda miss the van.

Well the nightmare has started, just as we thought we were heading down the right track the van went in to get the glow plugs done and the garage messed it up, broke them off and now we have to wait until next week to get the van back. You just wouldn't believe it really. So yesterday of all days my 30th birthday was a bit crappy after hearing that news, It got better in the end but still could of done with out the drama. Now Stu has to go back out to Frankfurt ...

We just got the van back with all the electrics in, 3 windows, 2 roof windows one with a vent and its finally getting there. We have changed our minds about the design so many times now i have lost count but i think we are on track with our minds made up. ( well for now anyway) I must admit i didn't know it would be so difficult to get the design right but we do have a lot to get in with the dogs and all our stuff. http://web.mac.com/outsidevan/VAN_Site/Campin...
