As my poor van spent most of last summer laid up with some or other mechanical failure my daughter and me often used to take our dinner out and eat in the van. In fact the first week we had it we had fish and chips on the driveway!
Unfortunately the road we live on is a bit too busy for me when it comes to sleeping out there, but I have been known to offer it to visiting guests who usually jump at the chance rather than a mattress on the living room floor!
Has anyone seen my marbles?
No...oh, wait...I never had any :)

I love sleeping in my camper more than in the house so when we are not away she is parked in the garden so out I go and stop in there...
I would love to spend more time in it but can't :(

Sleeping in T25 High Top

Post by Muckamore »

On my trip to norway i had the option of sleeping up in the High Top but as my roof vents developed a small leak I retreated dowmstairs and used for the first time the big camper bed - foldback seats etc -
I had a very good sleep - in the cold of the evening one benefitted from the heat of the engine bay plus an enormous amount of space,
i agree with amny cpmments on the site that there is a very good feeling insie the van - I am fortunate - mine is westfalia- conversion - I have all the original curtains and I can get a very good sleep inside the camper - i thought the westfalia clock would keep me awake but I fell competely asleep without it disturbing me
