Cruise Control

It's been a while since I've posted anything up here but that's not stopped me using the van, nor indeed adding bits and pieces to it.  

The most significant item I've added since my last post is Cruise Control.  I paid £280 from my local Stealer for this mod and in my opinion it's well worth the money.   I took the van to Wales this weekend (and slept in the roof of course) and the cruise control was a godsend.

If you've used it before you'll know why I love it.  If not, try and take a car/van for a long motorway journey with cruise and you'll see why it's so great.  The journey down the M4 was easy as pie, with cruise on most of the way there.  It's early days to be certain but I think it's saved me some mpg too - although obviously I'll have to drive a lot of miles for it to pay for itself!

I think it will really come into its own in a couple of months when we take the van to Europe.
