I have always though Morris Dancing is cool

Partly because it HAS to involve beer - which, I have been told - is compulsory

Every spring Bee Gees fans make the pilgrimage to Cornwall where they can still see Morris dancing.

Slept well in the van. Popped open the rear tailgate window to keep fresh air running through and out the front side windows. Got the knack now of getting the right pressure in the Thermarest Mondo King air beds, not cheap but very comfy despite my hip and shoulder issues. These are a car camp airbed, not one you could take on a bike.

The Decathlon awning has developed a split in one of the fibreglass poles, but its not affecting set up. I'll order a replacement and spares when I get home and check the measurements. Only £4 to get a spare section.

About thirty years ago our local announced they were having some morris dancers in one evening, and this was a kind of slightly rough traditional type of local pub.

Before they arrived on the night a few people were making comments about what these dancing guys must be like, but when they arrived they were all big hefty blokes who could drink like fishes, it was a really good night. 😂

This build needs a thread of its own!

One day well have to have a CC old farts campervan camp out get together type thing.
 
It seems that somone locally (well, about 3/4 mile away) has bought one of these
It's huge!!, not the kind of thing you'd enjoy taking on the 'North Coast 500'

It appears to have a self-levelling system, as round pads can be seen (underneath) by the rear axles, rather like the outriggers on a HIAB equipped truck
It's one of these

How reliable are these?

Are you going for a r+r bed side conversion?

A bit more space than a transporter?
