All right, so it's not a camper, it's a panel van that's sometimes had its owner shove an airbed in the load space. But it is a real, restored Fiat 900T actually being driven by Ian "HubNut" Seabrook, whose channel I watched a fair bit of last year as he attempted to get a Thundersley Invacar back on the road alongside his venerable old 2CV, as ( Read more... )

Achtung! I've not posted about camper vans in a while. Two years, actually. Think of it as something I've got on the backburner for when I'm back on form with life... which will be several years yet ( Read more... )

So, as some will have gathered, I'm back from Summer Breeze and a review will be forthcoming. It was a 1,480 mile voyage in all - which, combined with the recent excursion to the land of kilts and haggis, has put another 3,000 miles on the Intergalactic Battlecruiser (which at least means I'm getting my money's worth on the insurance ( Read more... )

I have a new (and ambitious) date for the start of my camper odyssey: 18th May, 2018. This is the day I turn 40... according to the Islamic calendar, which has no idea what a year is. But fear not, I haven't just converted to the world's most dangerous major religion (I mean, the very idea!), I was just curious as to what the date would be ( Read more... )

And so, in what might become every bit as regular an intrusion onto your feeds as my Minecraft posts (of which there might be one this month), I'll continue with my grand plan for an escape-machine on wheels, still looking wistfully at the Land Of The Rising Sun. After all, no country knows more about miniaturisation and maximum use of the ( Read more... )

No, really - I have started looking at campers again, and even though I've got a lot of time to do my research, it's best to give myself the largest length of time so as not to get is wrong, wouldn't you say ( Read more... )

Here I am, sitting up at gone two in the morning looking at camper vans again, preparing for a future that will be lived entirely solo, where at least I can go wandering in the way I like.

It also made me wonder if I could find the answer to one of the previous camper questions I had from the original post. The Fiat 650/800/900T/E may have been ( Read more... )

I promise, this is the last post I'll make on camper vans for a while. Actually, I don't promise at all, but it's the last one I'll do now at least.
