Hi everyone!

My name is Brooke and I live on the Gold Coast in Queensland. My very first car was a van - a Suzuki 2011 APV. It was a legend of a car, but the VW Transporters have always been my dream. Since then I've been living with a Citroen C4, but I've always been a van woman at heart. I met a man who's dream happened to be the exact same as mine and today he bought us a silver 2005 VW T5 and we are ready to follow our camping/van dreams.

Its basically an empty shell, there is only carpet on the floor (which we plan on ripping up and re-doing). As you can imagine, being 20, I'm going to need tons of advice. I plan of doing it up so that we can fit our Honda CRF motorbike in between a kitchen/storage cabinet and a fold out bed/lounge, and go on tons of camping and bike riding trips. I imagine I will start a thread later seeking specific advice, but if anyone has any advice to offer pleeeaseeee be my guest and teach me.

Here's to the start of a long adventure! Woohoo!
