Hello everyone

Got a Renault traffic that is only 5 years old and sound mechanically but looks terrible inside and not great on the outside.

First things first, how would you go about getting rid of all this grime inside? I think it's a mixture of general plastering related stuff and plain dirt and grime. I've swept it out and vacuumed a bit (do I need a shop vac really?) but I'm really unsure how to get this clean enough for the build?

Does this need a professional or can I do this myself (much preferred)?

P s I know some pictures make it look like rust but trust me that's a sand/plaster type compound and not rust.

How to start trialling whether van life is for you?

Hi. I'm living in Edinburgh and van life has always been a curiosity of mine. I would love to know how ppl here got started to see if the lifestyle was a good fit for them - did you rent a van and figure it out? What was it like learning to drive such a big vehicle? Anything you can tell me about the period where you were just getting started wld be super helpful. Thank you.

So relatable....

It's pretty cool though :D Probably not what you want to see when running an old knackered vivaro.

Induction hobs

Has anyone come across a built in dual induction hob that is wider than it is long?

There are many options for dual burner hobs that are 50-60cm deep and 32-33cm wide, but I want the opposite. Exactly like a lot of portable ones, such as the cookology. I want that but built in preferably.
