Welcome, don't forget we love picsHi Folks,
The proud owner of a2016 converted T6 called Sally. She was built by the Dub Hut near Ashford in early 2020, and now lives with us in deepest darkest Kent.
For me this fulfilled a life time ambition to own a campervan. And naturally Covid restricting play, but sure things will improve in the years ahead.
I spent years researching and visiting different convertors. What changed for me was hiring a van for a week from Big Blue Campers near Maidstone in Kent. The owner Nick told me where he got his vans from, which ones he liked the build quality of, and which he didn’t. He even technically introduced us to the Dub Hut who are converting his fleet extension plans.
All I can say is happy to final own Sally.
HiHi everyone
We were all waiting for the update and photosHi Wayne....wow....after 187 views and 2 months, somebody says hello!
Great news @spenny_b you're in very safe hands with Chris @Dav-Tec , wifey and I met him and his Mrs and daughter at 'summer camp', Chris sat me in his van to listen to the most awesome van based sound system I have ever heard. Speaking on behalf of the forum, we all look forward to seeing 'Ada' in all her glory! Photos are acceptable until an 'in the flesh' meet transpires!Hi Wayne....wow....after 187 views and 2 months, somebody says hello!
Yeah I did. Went with All Seasons, working with the guy in their High Wycombe office, but the van is being built nr Durham. The initial collection date could've been yesterday but insurance mandates an S5 tracker (and I'd want one for peace-of-mind anyway), and the dates just didn't work for getting that done, plus I'm flying out tomorrow on business for a week, so *all a bit rushed*. I'm working with @Dav-Tec to get a Metatrak installed the day after collection, which will be just after I get back on Mon 4th Sept.
I went up to Chester-le-Street about a month ago to have a look around and see the build progress. The "charge hand" up in there, a very nice guy, gave me the tour of their facilities (proper set-up, 5x big new industrial units, 3 doing a different stage of the build, plus showroom and offices). It was nice to meet the chaps on the tools, but bloody hell it's a long way from where I live!! Whatever, it's a fun project and worth investing a couple of days holiday and a roadtrip.
So, very much looking forward to getting this ballache of a business trip over with and then collecting the new toy. It'll be called "Ada", after my Grandmother. I've never named a car or bike before, but a) it's seemingly the rule and b) it kind of feels fitting - she would've loved it. It's going to be pressed into action straight away, a pal and I are off to the Goodwood Revival on the Sunday, staying over locally and getting some running-in miles done.
Cheers
Spencer
