Just another AA Self Build.........

[T6ChrisO]

Had 2 successful trips in the van now! Everything working as it should which is a relief when you have done it all yourself.

Tested out the new Kampa Trip Air awning in Wales last week, certainly gives us that much needed additional space and quite simple to set up.

Few pics from Wales last week as Storm Kathleen hit (and ended our trip early due to the high winds)




The chore that nobody enjoys..... (the clean up once home)

Wow that’s a lot of mud.
Van + set up looks great though

Yeah it was very boggy in places but luckily the farmer had a hard-standing area left so told me just to park on that. If I parked on the grass I never would've got off. I only slightly went onto the grass to turn around when I arrived and had to be towed off as the front just sank ha ha!

Will be for sale shortly to make way for a new build. A Ravenna Blue T6.1 LWB is calling my name!

Thinking £28,000 is fair for its condition and spec. Will do a proper advert soon

Thought I'd document my attempted self build of an ex AA van
Purchase Price £14,000
Target total spend £24,000

Did I miss what your actual end total was?

I've not properly totted it up but I think its around £25k

For any potential buyers, the above doesn't mean I'll be selling it at £25k lol

I'm assuming that's not including the amount of hours you've put into the van - 100hrs @ £20ph is another £2k.

Out of interest, how come you're selling so soon after completing? Is the building big bigger than the using bug?

Oh god no, I've not included man hours. Just priced it at what I think its worth. I do however need to find someone who would charge only £20 per hour though ha ha!

My house sale completes soon and its going to relieve a lot of financial stress that i've been under so I've decided I'm going to treat myself to a lot newer van and one my partner can drive too (getting an auto, she cant drive manual)

Chris, looking forward to you getting your new van and watching your next build - you've made a cracking job of this one!
