G'day all,

I got bitten by the van bug firstly when i was 10yrs old and the A-Team first appeared on the telly, then of course there was scooby doo and the Mystery Van....
I'm now 35 and still haven't bought my van yet...... as the bug for a van was re-bitten with a few kite surfers that i know having one...

So, having found this site while endlessly googling at different dream vans, I think i have found a new home.
I'm looking for a cheap SWB (preferably) van , as a project to start.
Cheap, so that the dept of finiance doesn't jump on my back..too hard.

Look forward to catching up sometime in person and happy vanning everyone.....

Welcome to the Bedheads  :) .
Be careful not to let the department of finance know how much you will be spending to bring the Beddie up to the standard you will want. The trouble is that standard keeps moving higher.
Think of your worst estimate, and then tripple it.
Nice to have you with us.
