We have been toying for a while about using a converted VW Transporter as a towcar. This would allow us to pull the caravan and then when on-site, stay overnight at nearby places using the van as its own accommodation. It would also be useful for short trips around Blighty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We feel this could offer the best of all combinations – Campervan & Caravan versus Car & Caravan versus Motorhome & Towcar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The VW Transporter should fit inside a standard car parking space and the pop-top roof should nullify height barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s probably not something we would want to reside in for more than few days or the odd week, but who knows?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow our Caravan goes to Swindon for its annual service. We have hired a VW converted campervan for the week. We will be heading to the artic tundra of North Yorkshire, my birthplace long abandoned for the warmer climate of the South coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Follow our experiences with the campervan over the next week…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
