#3 - The simplest campervan

Image
Welcome back! My last post explored pros and cons of owning a (camper) van instead of owning a car and a motorhome, and before that I wrote about pros and cons of owning a full size motorhome . If you haven't already, don't miss reading them. Today, however, I will share my thoughts and experiences on making and using the simplest campervan possible. So let's continue with my story of camping... Sleeping in a van ( Tyler Lillico - Unsplash ) When I replaced my full-size hotorhome with a van I already had a plan how to adapt it to use it as a campervan in the most efficient and comfortable way - as one can with a space available in a van.

My first camping trips were with a tent. A few friends, bikes, a campfire, and all was good.   Camping with friends Then I met my wife, we got married and kids came along. The amount of camping kit that a family has to bring along and setup on the campsite was increasing. Gradually I got tired of setting up tents, assembling chairs and tables, inflating air mattresses… And if you wanted to change sites every few days, the whole process started again, so we stayed on one site for as long as we could. Our family camping setup Owning a motorhome - Pros So I bought a used full-size motorhome. It was roomy enough for the whole family, you could cook, eat, seat and sleep with minimal fuss. We could stop almost ...
