Everyone and there dog doing the van life thing, we have two kids at work doing itI think that’s because when everyone got furloughed they all started window cleaning or gardening or what have you. The price of vans and trucks rocketed.
I rebuilt a Crapstar diff for a customer over Christmas. Purely to punt it. We buy any van offered him more than he bought it for 3 years ago. It is 4 years old.
Add into that lead times blamed on whatever. Mitsubishi have / are pulling out of Europe. HGV lead times are nuts. DAF is a year. To get on the waiting list. There is no list for Volvo / Renault, Iveco and Scania apparently.
One of the lads his dad has a Vw resto business took x6 new staff on a month or so after the lock down started as they had that much work ahead
He’s now up to another x4 more staff as they have so much work converting vans
