The Campervan Thread

Nor me! I just prefer the practicality of a Swamper over the big-rimmed and lowered brigade.

I'm on 17" and 55 profile, so a comfy ride rather than going bone shaking 20" and rubber bands. Too old. Plus I like the rims.

Mine are Wolfrace Overland swamper jobs with 235/55 18 Cooper AT boots. Even John Rambo would be impressed.

As much as I like those motorhomes, they aren't usable as a car/daily. We had a good look at some in the Autumn. Fabulous layouts and the ones with a garage for bikes and a SUP could have sold it.

But head ruled and I wanted a daily driver capable vehicle that could get in car parks (eg work) and mine isn't technically a camper until two seats are removed and the bed folded out.

Well if you pick the right (or wrong depending on your POV) part of Shell Island, "minimal" means you don't even need clothes

Aye that's a fair bit further down the coast... walkable. Just have to watch your bits as the spider crabs are massive.

Indeed. When mine isn't a camper it's a four seat family car with a huge boot and 40mpg ability.

Yeah but they’re only small ones 😂

After a 21 months pregnancy ours gave birth to a frog, well technically a TOAD but that does bring us to 13m now😬

First race of the season this Saturday so off to the France for the weekend with Mrs R, fortunately there’s an aire right next to the TT route so £8 a night will do 💪

A bit blustery in the night but the awning is well anchored down so no drama. Nice and warm in bed, even warmer when the Labrador couldn't resist any longer and snuck under the covers.

What's for breakfast ?
