Only joined the site this morning but finding lots of great info already. Thought I'd best say 'hi' (mods please move this if I've posted in the wrong place!).
So, just yesterday got the go ahead for a month off work in September 2020 - plan is to tour Ireland in a camper van for 3-4 weeks, partly solo but friends / my kids joining me for various bits. Specifically, in my 1986 VW T25 homebrew camper. I've owned 'Snowdrop' for 7 years and had many adventures in her. In my ownership she has gained a pop top (now that is a nerve-wracking DIY job!), lots of solar panels, an LPG conversion and several other upgrades as well as all the mechanical, electrical and bodywork that you have to do to keep an old VW going!
The van is perfectly capable of 'off-grid' camping although I quite like the odd night on a bigger site to take advantage of things like showers, porcelain toilets and the like.
No real agenda yet so really just wanted to drop in and say 'hi' and no doubt I'll be using the forum for advice and most likely asking a few dumb questions so bear with me.
