The Thunder Puffin!
Following in a long line of Thunder vehicles; The Thunder Pig, The Thunder Squirrel, The Thunder Slug, The Thunder Trout and The Thunder Canary; this lovely 2016 Ford Transit Custom will be our new home and traveling companion for the next three months!!

Judging from the debris left over, her previous owner was apparently a tile contractor?

The work van to campervan transition is a bit daunting, but …

Saweeeeet Mobile Digs!
Thanks for sharing it’s evolution.
They may not be the most beautiful or the fastest, but they get us there in the end!
Interesting to hear about all your Thunder vehicles. Also I neglected to mention the familiar Jones name in these families.
Happy trails.
Yes, there’s been more Thunder vehicles than even we realized!
There’s also quite a few more Joneses over here than we’re accustomed to. 😊
I do not think of England a diy kind of place, so I’m like, where’d he get the lumber? On the other hand, and interestingly enough, the hand saw I totally get. Looks comfy though.
Bon Voyage seems inappropriate; Happy Trails anachronistic. How about Cheerio until the next update, and of course, new friends, new places and lots of exciting adventures….yep, that about covers it😬
Yeah, not a lot of redwood around here for sure. Spruce & pine seem to be the norm. & they call it timber … & a 2×4 is a 4×2. Been a bit of a dyi / lumber learning curve, but I’m finally comfortable going into a timber yard in the U.K.
Cheerio
thank you for sharing. Nice to see you both will be traveling and living in style. As you should.
You’re welcome!
Now that we’re well into our 50’s though, it’s definitely more about comfort than style 😋
