The Van has arrived

Just a quick update to let everyone know that I have picked up the campervan.  I'm in the process of doing some work on it to get it ready for the trip.   So far this has consisted of adding more power points, USB charging ports, 12V outlets, a second "house" battery" and an inverter.  It's all pretty high-tech in the back now.  I have also added some additional speakers to the stereo.

I'll also be making some structural changes to accomodate a permanent bed, as opposed to one that needs to be constructed from the table each night.

I'm also getting a UHF radio fitted later this week.

So once I get my ulcerative colitus under control (TMI?) I should be able to hit the road.

P.S.  This is also the first test of several auto-post recipes I'm testing from IFTTT.  So hopefully by posting a blog entry it also creates Facebook and Twitter entries.
