The Campervan Thread

[Drago]

I’m hoping to get away in the van next weekend.
bit of a long shot but any have any campsite recommendations in the midlands area (c 1 hour away from leamington).

Technically a couple of miles outside the official East Mids boundary, but around 1 hour from Leamington.

I think I'll have a wander to see if I can stumble across "The Batman 2" film crews as they are in Glasgow until late September.

OMG a Glaswegian Batman, that's something I'd pay good money to see at the cinema

Aye, he goes round headbutting any villain that looks at him a bit funny or who may have the temerity to spill his drink.

OK, lights and levels check on the campervan ready for next weeks holiday, and will pack the iCarsoft V4.0 for emergencies. If I pack it I won't need it, if I don't I'll get a hundred miles from home and the dashboard will light up like Timmy Mallet's braces.

I leave mine in the van so I know where it is, alongside the battery jump starter - only ever used it on other people, especially 'new' campers - who thought leaving the car doors open all day would flatted the battery ?

I've booked 4 days at Buxton Camping and Motorhome Club site the last week of October, just me and my boy Bruce. Absolutely cant wait!

Is that the one near the rugby club on the south edge of town?

Negatory. A bit more,towards the north end of toon, near Ladmanlow.

Any more updates @derrick ? Exciting this is you know !

Only a week until our next trip to Scotland. Five nights in the van at two Lochs (Lomond and Morlich), then upto see my cousin in Laide (probably in a spare room hopefully) then Dundee in a hotel, and then the mean streets of Glasgow in a hotel. The important bit was finding a secure car park for the van. Whilst MrsF has an event on in the evening, I think I'll have a wander to see if I can stumble across "The Batman 2" film crews as they are in Glasgow until late September.

Yes still busy. Put the canopy on the side. Lots of stuff happening inside electrics are nearly all sorted. Inverter works well. More pics to follow.

We went to the Newbury show in May this year, two hours after we walked in we bought a 2024 Weinsberg Carabus 630 with 3500 miles on the clock. Next week, we're heading off to France and Spain for nearly 8 weeks, using Aires, Camping Car Parks and campsites. In at the deep end. When we get to Alhaurin I'll be picking up my much missed Brompton. I'm even thinking of starting up a YouTube channel

Cracking away very nicely there Derrick. Most impressive. Looking forward to seeing it at the Old Gits Treffen next year.
