Campervan.

   

My current campervan is a 2005 MAN Bimobil EX480 that I acquired in Germany in June 2008.

Known rather unimaginatively as "Man".

I have fitted it with 400 watts of solar panels and a Webasto DualTop diesel heating system (instead of the original Truma gas system).

So far I have taken it on a trip to Iceland in 2009 and much longer trip to Australia in 2010. On both trips Man has performed very well. I can recommend both the EX480 and the company Bimobil. For more information on designing and equiping this type of vehicle see here.

My previous campervan was a converted Mercedes Unimog U1300L truck. Before that I owned a Murvi Morello.

My recommended campervan conversion book is the excellent Travel Vans (by John Speed).

My last big campervan trip was to Australia in 2010 before that I went to Central and South America in 2006/7, Siberia and Mongolia in 2004, Iceland and Northern Europe in 2003 and China and Tibet in 2002.
