Love it!

Can't go wrong with the 7.3, I take it you've read the stuff about DVLA requirements to change classification to motorhome, the bit about the graphics might be a hurdle!

Superb, you’ve done the things I regret doing but on a superior scale. Like when I woke on a Monday morning with a hangover before work realising with shame that I’d bought a rotten series 2 V8 Landrover by mistake. Well done!

Fantastic, I'm so glad I prompted you for an update! Look forward to reading the new (ridiculous) adventure!

Sadly, it's the IDI rather than the PS, but a solid old lump nonetheless, and streets ahead of the 6.0.

What's the deal with the graphics then? I've read up a fair bit, (water/cooking/bed etc.) but that must have passed me by.

There's a thread further down about it, should have a link to the .gov website. Basically someone in an office has decided what a motorhome should look like & there's been a couple of conversions rejected for not having motorhome style graphics.
The IDI isn't a bad motor & plenty of people have put a turbo on them.

Ah, I wondered why so many van conversions had those pants swirls on them!

The regs seem a little vague at best. Some very valid comments in the thread as well. Lack of an awning rail should in no way preclude registration as a motorhome. I will endeavour to comply with what they say. Worst comes to worst, it'll have to stay as an ambulance, I suppose.
