    Spinter of Crafter ? ? ?

    I saw a Extra LWB Crafter on Monday, the guy was a courier and delivered something to where i was working, bloody hell, its huge inside, My T5 would fit in the rear of it, would make a lovely motorhome ( which was what i was looking at it for )

    I've seen on reddit people who have done them on their own with progress pictures all the way through (one was a guy living near Yellowstone)

    I'd imagine you would be more than capable.

    I gutted my Vintage caravan and re-did that

    Also did my VW splitscreen camper 7 years ago

    I once bumped into a guy from the Valleys ( he was at a dog show in Bath ) and he had rented one of these for the weekend ( they do a good deal for rental with the idea you will buy one )

    he took all the measurement and cloned it completely , he took time off work and did it, took him 7 weeks full time, it was very impressive indeed

    It's an iveco Daily. Even bigger than the crafter. I've been told I can't use a jet wash because it's wrapped

    Never wash it , just use your fingers to write also available in white or I wish my sister was as dirty as this van , if you deliver to Swansea

    I use a set of 9 tread industrial steps (H&S passed).

    Gotta do the top, as where I live is all trees and the top gets green if I don't wash it once a month.

    This is a high roof Trannie mind.
