VWT4 California from 1998 with 390,000 km on the clock. Inside are four beds, (Rock and roll bed downstairs sleeps two and two in the pop top) fridge, cooker, night heater and sink with shower attachment. Fantastic old van, lovely to drive and taken the family on many a long trip. Also an immensely practical vehicle.

I keep looking enviously at the newer T6 California vans on the campsites, maybe one day.
The one we are using is 32 years old, got real character and attracts attention from those in the know

Hattie ... Bought for £4k for our LEJOG ... 2000 miles (904 miles cycling) with a 7 month old baby boy. Now 4 years later in use as the family camping HQ.

The daily drive for myself and my wife and our 4 children ...The Transit of doom makes a good camper when needed ....

My last van which I sold just prepandemic. Very spacious inside unlike many British vans which are very claustrophobic. Chassis prone to rust and I spent a lot getting it welded. Regretted selling it but it was not getting enough use.

Our first caravan made from hardboard. Did fine and I sold it to somebody who converted it to a fish shop.

Transit conversion on Harris. Load of junk and the flexible exhaust joint blew regularly. Rear doors good for getting bikes inside.

I was watching last nights Million Pound Motor-Homes earlier
One in particular took my fancy, this re-purposed MAN

Given that the company that built the body, & converted it, is at Carcroft, on the outskirts of Doncaster, it made me wonder If it was sourced from the wonderful ‘Rocket Site’, aka; https://ljacksonandco.com/ (1)

Plus they chose the ‘baby’, as 6x6 & 8x8 variants were also built (2)

When finished, it was a dammed nice colour

This is the conversion company; https://www.motorcraftadventuredevelopments.com/vehicles

The base vehicle (HX60) can be found here, as can 8x8s; https://ljacksonandco.com/categories/cargo-trucks/

1. Thus named, as it was the RAF's location for the surface to air (Bloodhound) missile defence base for RAF Finningley, about 2 miles east of the airfield (better known now as 'Doncaster/Robin Hood Airport)'
If you open the link to Jacksons above, there are aerlel photographs, & the rocket-'bays' are still there!
'About Us' has a close-up of their Bloodhound
'Information' has photographs showing the 'pads'

2. They have produced 8x8 campers; https://www.motorcraftadventuredevelopments.com/?pgid=jepdpftp-ae7ae147-626f-4d0e-b741-862331ef81e3
