New Member/Old Van

· Posted: 10.03.2020 · #1

We have owned our La Strada "Nova" since 2002 so can possibly claim to be familiar with all aspects.
The base is a Mercedes 316CDI whilst the Luton is a GRP moulding. Basically a Boat on a Sprinter chassis. I assume like fellow members I have added a few mods of my own, 13 amp sockets. air assist suspension, tow hitch etc. Only problems in the last 18 tears have been replacement control panel and the Reitch water pump.
Last year we decided to Tart the old dear up with a fer stickers. Photos attached.

Forward Planning

· Posted: 12.03.2020 · #6

Having just followed Boris and Experts advising us of our prospects for what could be the next 14 weeks ! Making the most of the Van may be difficult, I think the longest we could stay quarantined for would be 2 days in the van the loo would then need emptying. I suppose trips to the service points could be by appointment. Apparently the rough figures are 80% of us will get the bug with 1% possibly being terminal. I am stiil being optimistic as we are booked on a cruise at the end of April.
Why did we come home from Madiera ???
I suppose I will be allowed outside to clean and polish, sit behind the wheel, set the satnav and pretend.
