what do you love most

What do you love most about you camper. I Genuinely love that my wife actually wants to drive it.. but that's perhaps just the joy of a T25.

We have done camping hols. (in Scotland) for all of our life together.
We were starting to get a bit miffed (read pissed off) at pitching tents and sleeping on the ground. We were just about to give up and do the B&B thing when we looked at each other and said (and i kid you not) lets keep it camping but with a VW camper (we imagined a splitty, a bay perhaps) ended up looking at a brick and fell in love right away(the wife even liked the colour WHITEish) The 'kids' who are 14, 17 and 21 ask every week 'you goin' away in the van. "might be" if you are gi's a shout might go wi you.

AND they DO come with us, no telly, no cd, dvd player. we tell stories and play cards. I play guitar, they play the bongos, pretend they hate it but come the next time

SO the thing we love most about our camper is we get to talk and interact as a family NO DISTRACTIONS.

Well said.
I particularily enjoy free camping, using 4 wheel drive to get the camper where others wouldnt dare, and back.
I also really enjoy working on her. (luckily)

Love the freedom it gives us, and the ability to be able to go away as a family a lot more often than most. whether that be camping or crashing on a mates driveway etc

Love the fact that at the present moment in time it makes our early bay look look a dream.

Bit of a prima donna is our Vince the Vanagoon. Not sold on T25's at the moment and our sons of 18 and 20 would frankly not go near. Bit more comfortable but technically unreliable - maybe it's cause we're automatic or that I'm fairly new to T25's and would need a lot more to be 'sold' to what they may have to offer...

What I love most? - simple.

First:

Nikki (the other half) loves it and the kids (7 and 11) love it. And best of all - I love it and get to see us all (as a family - without the usual home mod cons) enjoy the joy it brings.

It's not a splittie or a bay but it still looks cool!

and Second:

People either get it or they don't. Our best friends think we are all insane. But then they have not had the times we have had this summer........

Knowing she's parked on the drive loaded up with food, drink and fuel etc. She is ready to hit the road at all times so I can escape the dreary life of work work work

The fact that it's a T4! and although it's a bit old, it's very comfy and warm and well insulated.

I love it that tomorrow is always full of the promise of more van adventures to come.

What's there not to love??
The freedom it gives us to take off any time we have chance, being with family without TV/DVD/Playstation, waving to every camper we see

feeling part of a really big family where all are welcome

You just can't beat it

The BIG SMILES on peoples faces,

might be the pink flowers
Waving camper vans

Slowing down is compulsory

hey its a 1600 diesel and they dont like hills in anyway shape or form

( WE LOVE NORFOLK )
Meeting like minded nutters

Having something to do and places to go.
The something to do is the repairing / maintenance side but even thats fun cos you are always learning and that can always be passed on

Is there anything to dislike

ok there are the occassional blips but they soon disapear when you drive them again.

The fact that the tax and insurance together for the year is actually a lot cheaper than we were paying for 1 week in a static caravan in Wales in August,
thus meaning we can have as many trips away as we want, when we want and if we don't like where we've gone to, we can move on.

And also me, Mininut and Mininut jnr and Holly the dog have never had better times away than when we have been in the Kamper
