Product Description
What do you do when your car breaks down during a pandemic, nobody will fix it, and you end up buying a carpenter's van with no windows, no experience, and absolutely no idea what you're doing?If you're Andy, you convert it into a campervan.You install a diesel heater, carpet the walls, put a coffee machine on the worktop, and drive to Lake Como. If you are Claire, you make a lot of tea. It Started with a Van is the true story of how a faulty Mercedes, a bolt that took two weeks and angle grinder to remove, and a YouTube channel that started with five views led two people from Barnsley on the adventure they never planned and couldn't stop having.It is a book about a van, a marriage, a dog called Pablo, and the difference between vision and reality. Told in two voices, with no agreement on the timeline and considerable disagreement about most of the details.
