Van Build Week 3: Giving the van a 2 inch lift and installing our slide-out kitchen.

We are Jess and Jon and we are converting a Toyota Hiace into an off-grid campervan to travel in Australia. Come along this week to see the van really take shape as we finish the kitchen and living space, install our ridiculously expensive toilet, jack the van up to make it more off-road capable and go shopping.....again! We also manage to squeeze in a trip in to the beautiful Hillarys Boat Harbour, sit back and enjoy.

    John I hate to break it to you but long before Walkers were a household name in the UK. They were preceded by a company called smiths crisps and Golden Wonder. I believe if my memory serves me correct that smiths did weird and wonderful things like salt and shake and some others and GW did things like the cheese and onion the ready salted and salt and vinegar. They also did Smokey bacon, beef and onion and chicken. Around 86 was when I started to see walkers coming into the supermarket where I worked. Just a few useless facts about crispy snacks we love and share

    Thanks Emma, hopefully the A/C drama will be sorted soon although it’s been quite mild here this year so far, not many days over 35c. Where as some years we can get over 40’c quite regularly so that’s been a godsend! 😂😂😂 brilliant Jon will be stoked he’s got another prawn cocktail buddy!
