And so it begins.......


The day we brought Luna home, and yes we did go and name the van, you have to right! The name was decided before we had even seen a van, but both Steve and i both agreed on the name while we were travelling down a motorway! It was one of those epiphany moments, the name came to us after seeing it written on the back of a Motorhome LUNAR, but we dropped the R as Luna is connected to the moon and we are both such moon gazers, we knew that had to be the name of the van. And Luna is so perfect for her. But, as i was first saying, the day we brought her home, Steve was straight in her to start clearing out the old shelving that had been so horribly constructed inside, the carpet was ripped out and the bulk head was also removed. But......... then we were both struck down with Covid and that put paid to any more work being done on her for at least a week, but that did not stop us from ordering all the bits we could from our sick bed, ready to get back into her and to start the journey of making her our home.


Eventually we were in Luna, we were so excited to be finally doing some work inside her. We stripped all the brackets and shelving out, pulled up the carpet and gave her a much needed clean.



She was looking really good underneath all that carpet and wood, no rust to really deal with, well she is quite old bless her so we were expecting to find a lot more things that would need doing before we could really get our inspiration juices flowing. So we continued to give her the attention she needed before cutting in some windows... Now, if any of you have ever cut a hole in the side of your van, you will know that this is one scary moment!. But Steve measured and measured again, and then...... measured again, we put the template on and out came the jigsaw! Eeeeeeeeek, i ain't going to lie, my heart was pumping but i had every faith in that man of mine and boy did he deliver, the first window was a success! BOOM, let there be light!, so we bite the bullet and the portholes in the back doors were also fitted, along with the fan and our massive skylight!





How amazing does she look?..... 

So then it was time to get inside and get the sound deading done and this is where the Goddess demanded her blood sacrafice!!!!!.........
