The van : (before and after)

We have taken the back seats out to be able to fit a matress and all our belongings. We worked about 4 days on it and it has turned out to be really nice. We are very happy with it ! We went to Bunnings to buy screews, nails, bolts, wood, curtain rails,  etc...to KMart for a duvet, a gas bottle, a gas cooker, a petrol jerrican, a water jerrican a camping table and chairs etc...to  charity shops to buy a matress, pilow cases and duvet cover, towels, plates, knives and forks and pots and pans.

Our van !!


We have found our van!! Its the first one we have seen and we decided to buy it. We bought it in Tweed Heads in NSW and its a 8 seater Mitsubishi Starwagon. It is not a camper, so we are going to have to transform it ourselves !!!
