Default Moving a Static Van

This is it, but needed to turn it round in a confined space, did it by backing it up to the fence with the Patrol at an angle, unhooked the motor and used the winch, sorry no pics of that as all concentration needed on the job

My land, it was in the way for turning vehicles with trailers on plus it got the sun in the summer making it unbearable, low box sorted it even then could not let the clutch up fully as would move too fast, wheels have 8 ply tyres at 70 psi and once on its wheels they looked flat, did not want to blow a tyre, good fun though, if you enlarge the first pic you can see the NS tyre, Rick

Would not have been possible given the small uphill grade we had to manage, although it could of been done with a winch, but who has a winch if not on a 4 x 4? anyway got it all leveled up on blocks today, just the services to connect now, Rick

oh always wanted to move one. as a kid when at static site would always
be on look out for vans coming on a lorry, typically a swb landy following
to do shunting then grabbing a ride back to yard on lorry.

at a friends site they use a tractor with tow ball on front loader. quite how
they get vans between each other due to size and minimal gaps i dont know.
