Re: My 1967 Carawagon (no name yet!)

Hi Ian, Possibly a delay in registration, between it leaving the factory and the conversion, but I'm not that particular about the year anyway - it's not like I was born in '66 or '67 - I would have been 7 or 8 then :tiphat: Oh, and the engine transplant stalled a little after Patrick arrived back u...

Re: must give her a name

Ah yes, heaters :cheers: We've got a nice Eberspacher Diesel blown hot air night heater built into Patrick's Carawagon. 5 minutes before you get ready for bed and the interior is really cosy. An arm out of the sleeping bag in the morning to put it on for another 5 minutes and you're getting up to a ...

Re: must give her a name

Nice one,

It's great to see one used so regularly, even in the winter.

Cheers,

Re: X-panda-cab - anyone got one in the UK?

I know Steve (WhiteKnight) has looked into these, but as he's already got a Carawagon, it's probably just out of interest rather than actually pursuing one :wink: I like the idea an Australian couple had (they described their camper at length to us at Peterborough last year). They've hinged the roof...

Re: S3 Mini-Carawagon/Searle Safari on eBay

Oooer, it's been going on for months!

YOG 31st Mar/1st Apr

Hi guys, John has just reminded me that there's a Yorkshire Overland Gathering on 31st Mar/1st April, up in North Yorks. Rather than spell it all out again, I'm sure John won't mind me copying his S2C post here (below in red) :cheers: Just had it confirmed by Brendan at 4x4O that this little do is h...

Re: Carawagon insurance - success story with Footman James!

I think this really does depend on who you speak to at the company. Patrick says the person he spoke to had no idea what a 'Carawagon' was, but accepted it was a factory conversion. Perhaps it's a tick-box on their screen - if they tick 'Factory converted camper' you are ok. If they start on the sub...

Looking forward to the pics - we like pictures of part done restorations as well as finished vehicles, so don't be shy with the camera :cheers:
