Although we love our Iveco Daily 4×4 and the Bocklet camper on the back, upgrades and repairs have of course been necessary 🙂 Even the best on the market can be improved upon!
Some of these have been done in the luxury of a workshop, but often repairs have been done at the side of the road or parked-up ‘in the field’. Only a few of the changes listed below can be classed as ‘essential’. Mostly we did them for our personal preference… just because we can 🙂
Having now returned to Europe a number of the changes below have been reversed/removed as they are no longer needed.
See below for links to all the details.
