I'm not sure if this is bushcrafty enough for BCUK, so I won't be offended if the mods decide to move or delete this post...
Here's my new bus. It's a 1989 Renault Dodge 50 mobile library which has already been semi converted into a camper. It has a stereo, a sink with cold water, a split charge system with leisure battery, a gas hob, 12v lighting, opening skylights, a huge bed, and plenty of storage.
It's a cracking bus. It's small on the outside, but big on the inside. It runs a four litre Perkins Phaser diesel engine with twin tanks and a calorifier for running on alternative fuels.
To upgrade it to a proper live aboard I need the following bits:
A shower tray
A cassette loo
plastic tongue and groove for the shower cubicle
A 12v water pump
A water heater (carver?)
Any other bits of old caravan which might come in handy.
It has a factory fitted Webasto night heater which unfortunately doesn't work, so a wood burning stove might be on the shopping list if I can't get the blown air system fixed.
I also need a windscreen.
Please drop me a PM if any of you stumble across any of the above.
This is the first big camper I've had, so any pearls of wisdom would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dai .
