This was our ride for a couple of years, but now go in a slightly more modestly converted LDV but I'm not sure what model it might be.

Edit: Just remembered that one had purple lights under it as well as all the daft shiny bits. It was a very silly van.

I had a tin top bay until this time last year, when I had to sell it - not least because it had become a money pit and I had too many other priorities. Plus it's only good for two of us, so fitting a 7 year old and impending baby in it would have been a challenge

now we've got a 1970s caravan...I say caravan, shed on wheels would be a better description. But it only cost me 300 quid.

What does that involve? I WANT...mind, Van funds are PREEEETY small after the respray !

it costs about £1k to have it done (make sure you use someone who has done a T25 before), and then you can run the van on both LPG (which costs around 70p a litre, and the van then does about the same mpg per litre as petrol) or petrol. I've not put petrol in my van since I had it done.

The 'conversion' is really only a second fuel delivery system (no actual changes are made to the engine), so if your engine died it's no hassle to fix the kit to a replacement engine (tho it would have to be a similar petrol engine).

The downsides are that you lose some space for the LPG tank (mine is under the back seat, tho the other main option is a tank in the spare wheel holder), and that LPG is not available at all filling stations - but with a bit of pre-journey thought about where you might fill up it's not an issue at all (for me anyway; do check how easy it is to get LPG near you. There's maps on google with the filling stations).

The break-even point with the conversion is after about 8,000 miles, but after you've shelled out that £1k it's gone and all you really see then is the cheap fuel. With fuel that cheap it's drivable as your daily vehicle.

And of course, because you now have a cheap to run van, the value of the van goes up by around the cost of the conversion - it's a no-lose thing. :)

Glastonbury 2013 will be its second festival as I was saving to get the work done, with hopefully beautiful days being its third.

Now just got to hope I get an East CV field ticket and there is still room on the Thursday morning.
