But.. If it's anything like the MKs on which our old winches at the gliding club were based, you'll have serious biceps after steering it for any distance (but your hearing will be non-existent). ;D

What a stupid conversion, I would have thought that anyone converting a Bedford 4x4 to a camper was going on an expedition, that is sacrilege imo and will never sell....... :( :(

I think you would need six months weight training in order to steer it, a course from an instructor who knows how to double clutch, an appointment with your friendly ENT Surgeon to pre book hearing aids (discrete ones I hear now!), an extremely friendly bank manager and most of all an HGV fitter who knows the vagaries of the RL only too well !

We use a mix every day, though, to be fair.. we measure consumption in miles per gallon and buy fuel in litres ;D
