Hi everyone!
I'm Evelien, i'm 28 years old, and i'm from Belgium. But I guess the more important thing here is my VW bus.
I own a 1977 T2B baywindow, camper conversion with a sheldon hightop roof. It has a replacement original engine (1600cc); the bus needed a replacement engine when i bought it in february this year because the previous owner played around with it too much... (can't really explain what went wrong, i don't know the correct technical terms in english, but trust me when i say it was far beyond salvation). Paintjob and everything else is still original, including the original home-made interior (from the seventies conversion). It's horrible and totally impractical, but i can live with it for now.
I joined this forum when i stumbled across it looking for interesting campsites in the UK (I'm planning a trip to Wales next summer). I'm not a technical specialist yet (I can change tires, change the oil, charge the battery, chance headlights, and... that's about it for now :-s). I've signed up for a course in 'oldtimer mechanics' starting september, so hopefully that will change for the better soon. For now, I'm most interested in other travellers' stories and campingtips, and I will happily share mine (although my current knowledge is mostly limited to Belgium only). If you want to know anything else, please feel free to ask.
