Certainly do Clive, and a hammock to go in the front and...... a bed in the back under the canopy, with storage underneath for wheels and stuff. All works fine.

But engineers already travelled the same path that Doug has now set out on; they ended up creating the Westy Joker Syncro, and (with the exception of the original power unit) anything else is a compromise![]()
So we can borrow the Westy next time to collect the firewood Mark

Very good pictures Simon, excellently dull indeed
I'm thinking 'monkeys' looking at that picture Andrew, but a decent joke would be beyond my wit...

Anyone got experience of roof tents?

Re: Wheel carrier mania...
Mustn't scar the land Mark, that would be cheating, has to go on the roof or in the van...

I have just got my hands on a full width R&R bed that match my multivan captains seats in my doka.

I am planning on picking it up in the morning and maybe fitting it over the weekend. I will post lots of drab pictures and a write up of my progress

The idea of this is that if we are camping in lets say Spain or Morocco and its warm at sea level we can camp using a roof tent http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAGGIOLINA-ROOF-T ... 240%3A1318" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and can sprawl out using the back for cooking etc like i have seen people do and the locker for our clothes and stuff (in plastic containers so they don't get wet) , and if we hit the mountains we can keep warm using the syncros engine pre heater and sleep inside.
