Me and Hen are in the market for a campervan when we return to the UK, searching on fleabay I came across this. It initially looked good, but as we scrolled through the images....

Well, I see one problem already ... the bloody steering wheel is on the wrong side.

I imaging the porcelain captain's chair should have been more aptly installed up front but other than that I can't see anything out of place. To what do you refer?

Does that toilet turn? Weird, that.

Can't imagine wanting a toilet open like that, in the vicinity of lounging and food prep areas. Bizarre. Too bad cuz it's a nice campervan otherwise.

That's what I saw too. Found it odd that a fixed loo would swivel. Just the "bowl" part, too.

Just imagine as the user is wiping up and declares, "this room is closed" and then looking two feet across the aisle saying "mmm, that looks great, honey, nothing better than bacon and eggs in the morning."

I spent some time last night looking at restored classic VW busses online and have added that to my list of stuff to buy if I ever win the lotto.

One like this:

I'd take that all over the US and Canada - then I'd have it shipped to the U.K. and take it all over Europe, too!

Although I wonder if I'd be allowed to drive it there - are classic cars given a pass on EU emissions restrictions?

Maybe you just need something like this and now need to purchase a separate vehicle: real car camping!

Love it with the "accessory room" unit and the awnings!

Before I even got to the images, I started cracking up when I read this section of the description:

BRAND NEW FIXED TOILET
2seater on the front,5 seater on the back.altogether 7 seater with seat belts
Middle & REAR Seat can face forward,backward
seats goes flat to make into large size bed 2 adult can sleep

I have to say that for a camper this size, seven toilets ( a "two seater" up front, and a "five seater" in the back...with seat belts) seems a bit excessive...(unless you're really worried about not being able to make it to a toilet quickly when you need one...)

I do have to admit though that the fact the middle and rear toilet seats can be adjusted to face each other is a nice feature...(I mean, who doesn't want sit facing someone across from them while they're sitting on the toilet?)

But while I'm sure that having the toilet seats convert into a "large size bed" is very space efficient, I foresee other potential problems...

(I'm thinking now that perhaps I may have misread that, and that the sentences under "BRAND NEW FIXED TOILET" weren't intended as an elaboration of the features...)

That's a sweet setup!

Let me know if you ever need a house/dog-sitter in Cornwall while you're off road tripping.
