Well today is the day we collect our T5 Derek from the garage. Phil from Auto Kraft in Stoke on Trent has been amazing. Keeping us upto date with the progress of our van and send us pictures of the transformation. So a big thank you. Well It is here on out drive all shiny and new and ready for the adventure to begin.
What we have had done.
SCA 194 roof fitted this has a bed
Insulated and carpets in medium grey
Wooden laminate flooring
Windows fitted and tinted
EVO design 2.5 kitchen fitted
Double swivel chair base installed
Sink with cold tap and pump
Fridge
Gas piping for 2 ring cooker
Full electrics, lights etc
Leisure battery
Van x curtains 2 sided black and grey.
Not cheap but we love it and it has come just in time for the bank holiday.
We still need a Rock and roll bed and our diesel heater to be fitted but we have ran out our money for now 😦 but we have camping chairs and a place to sleep so we are good for now.
This weekend we will be going to a camp site not far from us just to try it out and see if everything is working ok.
So excited to spend our first night in it. Hope the weather is ok. Me and hubby with a wet dog not a great thought. 🙂

Love t5adventure xx
That looks really good. I hope you get the diesel heater sorted. We have a Webasto evo dual top which runs on the van’s diesel and heats the water and or the blown air heating. Fabulous piece of kit, also used in lorries and boats. Look forward to your first trip blogg

Hey thanks yes. Trying to save up for rock and roll bed and heater. Hopefully before winter sets in again so we can continue to use it. I would also like a insulating window cover and pop top wrap. The list keeps growing and the money keeps disappearing haha. That’s what it is like having a t5/ campervan. 🙂 all money goes to the bank of Derek.

The transformation is amazing. One minute it’s a works van, next it’s a campervan. I’m curious about the tall units with the tambour doors. I presume one is a wardrobe, is the other one a food cupboard ?
Enjoy your trip.

Hey
Thank you. We are so excited about it. Just been away and loved it. Yes we have used one for food and the other for clothes. We also have a small over head locker for small bits and bobs. Can’t wait for the bed now so we can have more storage. Always need more storage in a campervan. Hehe. 🙂

But when it’s done it will be a dream! I hope to fix up an old bus with no rust in the future. A wish of mine or just give our dusty little makeovers here and there

That interior looks lovely. It’s such a warm snuggly feeling when you shut the door on your own little mobile house when the weather’s bad and the rain’s lashing down.
