Hi all and sundry,
I've had the caravan bug since my very early teen years (3-6 months at a time in various caravans/camp/random bush lot sites). Always been an admirer of living light, remaining free, and quietly slipping between the cracks for a savings. I've particularly never cared for the gargantuan prices of securing the home owning dream (when you consider the materials and technology, or lack of, involved, plus the ensuing mortgages of indentured servitude).
Now with the sub prime crises creeping at everyone's doorstep, and a belief in fail safe backup's, I've picked up a 3 plus metre 74 Viscount Ambassador with the intention to use it as an office in the backyard, a recreation where desired, and an option for whatever else which might transpire. (Including heated debates with the fiery missus)
I'm in a dilemma though, and I ask for you advice.
Being a bit of a traditionalist, I'd like to keep the unit in close original form, yet I'm a youthful tech savvy sort as well.
All things considering, I could may well alter the van beyond all comprehensible recognition (at least to a classic restored meet up)
How important is the restoration aspect to the meet ups?
I'd love to show my virtual house off, and am worried it might be met with some amount of apprehension or scorn.
Thanks,
Az
