Good luck on your trip. I too have a C reg Dormobile, yours looks (almost) like it just arrived from Dormobile! Mine has done 30 years with me, 10 trips to Italy to take part in Italian Land Rover Club off road rallies (and won the first three!), followed by 18 years as my mobile workshop working as...
