He wasn't really suitable for hiring, so we've now raised him up off the floor, and at Dan's insistence got him some new shiny Fuchs wheels & new wheels meant new tyres, can you see a pattern emerging?...
new shoes.....
He has been for his interior refit but that hasn't been as straight forward as I would of hoped or expected, one delay after another has meant he's currently part done but is awaiting his new upholstery & curtain rails. We have been promised these are coming but still we wait, so Ramsey is now back home with us well we decide whether to keep waiting or not. To be honest the whole thing has been a lot more stressful than I have just made out but perhaps its best at this point to leave it like that.
What has been done so far looks really cool, he has a black gloss unit housing the double gas hob and sink, a rock n roll bed with matching kick panel. A red table that fits neatly into cut out section in the boot, and retro chequer board flooring.
It is amazing how quickly you become attached to a campervan, Ramsey feels very much part of the firm and I can't imagine not having him. That said he needs to behave himself so I can get loads of lovely bookings for him so he can earn his keep. As I type this Dan & the ever knowledgeable @richiemorena are outside in the dark taking his engine out, I stood around watching for a bit then thought perhaps I'd be more useful writing this blog (well that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it!). I've been assured that Ramsey will be back on the road in time for a little road trip this Sunday......
Speaking of which, a couple of weeks ago we took a little run over to The Walnut Tree at Broads Green nr Chelmsford for a Sunday afternoon drink. It turned out that several of the locals were keen dubbers & we were invited over to one of their houses to admire their camper and it's newly built interior (very nice it was too)
They mentioned the pub was having a charity BBQ for Help The Heroes this coming Sunday 27th May, and how they were hoping to have a bit of dub meet up, and get all the campers etc in a mini line up. So that's where we'll be heading this Sunday as long as Ramsey is running and you'd be more than welcome to join us, dub or no dub.
