Welcome to Renovating Rosie….A blog of the progress of a big idea, which like many big ideas can be summed up very simply, so to paraphrase from many conversations between me and my partner Jo:-
“Lets buy a bigger vehicle to replace our little Volkswagen T5 day van, kit it out as our home for summer 2018 and head off to Europe for Boom and a few other festivals”
So, one Friday evening in June 2017, we were looking around on the Internet at Mercedes Sprinter vans having been all logical about vehicle choice with phrases like “not too big…” “reasonable fuel consumption…..” “not too unusual…..” “Easy MOT….”
So quite how we ended up 24 hours later owning an ex Dorset Council, 7.5 tonne mobile library on a DAF LF45 chassis with a coachbuilt body and a rotten floor that does 19MPG I’m still not entirely sure, but now we were Renovating Rosie!
Here is rosie….
