Old VanOld VanOld Van

We had this van for nearly 9 years. Very useful load lugger as well as used for many folk festivals. Had a week in Belgium followed by a week at the Broadstairs folk festival. Otherwise, short breaks.

Taking Delivery



Left Ashchurch for Tewkesbury just after 07:00 for the trip down to pick up our new Murvi Piccolo. Changes at Cheltenham and Exeter (for a second breakfast). Made sure of a seat on the left hand side to view the Exe and the sea. Brought back memories of childhood holidays in Devon and Cornwall and happy university days in Exeter.

The van is a lot more complex than our much loved Vito Duo, it is also wider, longer and (most noticeably) taller.

Went through the systems in a steady way. Found damage to the loo door and discovered the water pump had been disconnected.

Filled her up with diesel then set off up the A38 and M5. Very smooth trip, getting used to the more restricted rear view and compensating rear view camera.

Looks very big on the drive, but still room for the car.
